PJ Harvey

Outside of David Bowie, how many artists have been as consistently brilliant in their constant reinvention? That list is very short: Polly Jean Harvey. Risque punk rock, avant-blues, inner city pop, free-form poetry, pastoral folk; she slips into any skin or style and crafts engrossing, era-defining records. Yet after more than three decades of not looking back, PJ Harvey remains as mysterious and magnetic as ever.
