Naive

Award winning English singer, songwriter and actress Marianne Faithfull has had a remarkable career spanning over six decades. Born on 29th December 1946 in Hampstead, London, England, she is known for her unique voice and powerful performances.
During the late 1960s, Marianne gained significant attention not only for her talent but also for her highly-publicized romantic relationship with Mick Jagger, the lead singer of the Rolling Stones. This period further solidified her status as an iconic figure in the music industry.
With numerous accolades to her name and a diverse discography that showcases her versatility as an artist, Marianne Faithfull continues to captivate audiences worldwide with her timeless music and captivating stage presence.

Naive is a French Paris-based independent record label, production company, and publisher. It was founded in 1998 by Patrick Zelnik, Gilles Paires, Frédéric Rebet, and Eric Tong Cuong. Despite facing bankruptcy in June 2016, the label made a remarkable comeback when it was taken over by the French digital distributor Believe Digital in August 2016.

Known for its diverse range of music genres and artists, Naive has established itself as a prominent player in the music industry. With an impressive catalog of *talented musicians* spanning various styles including classical, jazz, world music, pop, and electronic genres.

The label's commitment to nurturing emerging talent combined with their dedication to delivering high-quality productions has earned them a reputation for excellence. Naive's unique blend of creativity and innovation continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

Before the Poison is an album that concerns itself with both sides of love, friendship, and redemption, not desolation or desperation. That said, there is plenty of human shadow in these ten songs. PJ Harvey wrote three songs here, co-wrote a pair with Faithfull, and is present on all of them. Nick Cave co-wrote three with the singer and his Bad Seeds back her on these tracks. She also co-wrote one a piece with Blur's Damon Albarn and composer Jon Brion. Along with Harvey and Cave, Rob Ellis and Hal Willner aided in production. Therefore, Before the Poison, like its predecessor, Kissin' Time, is an album of collaborations. But unlike that offering, this one is seamless; its songs are sequenced impeccably and all feel of a piece linked by emotional thematics.

Before the Poison is poetic and unnerving; it stands alone in her catalog in the same way that Broken English did - but this time, on the other side of the mirror. This reissue is a special one with a clear vinyl edition.
