PJ Harvey el. Polly Jean Harvey, född 9 oktober 1969 i Weymouth, Dorset, England, Storbritannien. Brittisk kompositör, musiker och sångerska. PJ Harvey skivdebuterade 1992 med Dry och fick mycket god kritik och hyllades för sin originalitet som en av de få kvinnorna inom rocken. Hon har jämförts mycket med Patti Smith.

PJ Harveys musik är en blandning av råa gitarrer och hennes stora röst som hon använder på olika sätt. Ibland rena djupa toner, ibland viskande och ibland rentav skrikande. Texterna är ofta utelämnande och beskriver desperat åtrå och olycklig kärlek. Även vissa humorinslag (vilket många kritiker och andra inte alltid förstått) och religiösa spörsmål tas upp. Hon har också som få kvinnor inom rocken beskrivit sexualitet från ett kvinnligt perspektiv.

Det mest experimentella albumet kom 1998, Is This Desire?. Hon har samarbetat med producenten Flood. Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea kom 2000 och var det mest traditionella rockalbum som kommit från PJ Harvey. Det belönades med ett Mercury Music Prize 2001. Många av texterna beskrev också lycklig kärlek, en helt ny sida av PJ Harvey. Efter det albumet turnérande hon i flera år i USA, Europa och Australien. Uh Huh Her kom ut 2004 och är en återgång till hennes tidigare råa sound.

På White Chalk, utforskade hon en ny bana då den i mångt och mycket är piano- istället för gitarrbaserad. På albumet har hon experimenterat med låtuppbyggnad och sångteknik.

Harvey har sedan början av sin karriär samarbetat med Maria Mochnacz som regisserat hennes musikvideor och stylat henne.

    I'm just glad she won the Mercury Prize for LES.

    I know it's your opinion. I just find it funny that people can talk freely about Gaga on PJ's, Kate's, and Tori's shoutboxes. lol

    I don't mean user comments cause I rarely read them, I meant media/news. If my comment offends you, I'm honestly sorry, ignore me. @Barney sorry, I understand that's your opinion, but a lot of people disagree with that. Personal opinions... it doesn't mean everyone's trashing her (anymore than people trash everything else on this site). Of course it's just weird of me to assume people understand that on a music site, I just had a moment of weakness when I failed to avoid a shoutbox.

    "I just wish I didn't have to hear/see/read about her everywhere" yet you're the one who mentioned her to begin with, so you're not really helping your own cause there

    I'm tired of the trashing of Gaga. I think she's overrated with crazy fans, but I will never say something as outrageous as her being untalented, because she is. Lady Gaga doesn't suck.

    "Nicki Minaj makes Gaga look like brilliance. " Lady Gaga is the insanely popular and overrated one though, I just wish I didn't have to hear/see/read about her everywhere. I even enjoy some of her songs, but jeez. /way offtopic

    It's the unfortunate way things are here. And, popularity is controlled mostly by the record companies giving the casual listener little to no choice about what they hear on music channels or the radio. To find new music (even domestic music) that isn't selling millions (or even thousands) of records, you have to go digging. Even an artist as popular and talented as Tom Waits gets virtually no radio play here in the states unless it's on a college station that isn't controlled through CMJ or something of the sort. When I had my radio show in college, even there they wanted me to play some cuts from new albums. I had a metal/rock/punk show. And most of the new stuff they were sending me was garbage. There was no way I was going to play it. But, such is life. Those who are truly interested in music will seek it out and discover new artists. Those who simply fall into lockstep and listen to spoonfed junk will continue to do so.

    I don't think all Americans are tone deaf, but American music industries seem to think they can determine what's good music and what's not based on popularity.

    Hey, don't assume all of us Americans are tone-deaf dipshits. The Grammys are a crock of shit and it's a shame that true talent doesn't get recognition here. Believe me, I'm sick of hearing people gush over terrible music.

    '"jae_moon awards" flows. Favourites lists can be great for discovering music but only if you're on the same wavelength as the list compiler. That's why I don't bother with the grammys; my musical preferences don't -usually- match up. The event has a lot of publicity behind it but it's still there to appeal to a specific kind of cultural consumer. The US is a big place with a variety of musical flavour. Not everyone is going to take it seriously or buy into the hype even if it seems that way. PJ Harvey's music added an important element to my life. That's cool enough for me.
