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.

    'Uh Huh Her' is very underrated, a lot of people says that is the less favorite album from her. It's my second favorite.

    anyway, "uh huh her" is underrated, right?

    No, it means why complain about people "bandwagoning"? It's a great album, so I doubt people are only liking PJ to be cool or "hispter". Believe it or not, but people who like LES may just like it because it's that great. She's slept on in my country, so I'm glad she's getting a little bit more recognition. And I think 21 and other "overrated" albums are good, but I'm more annoyed at the bandwagoners for those albums than LES. And I've heard PJ's other albums before LES.

    Still a good PJ album, but it didn't impress me. LES may be overrated, but at least the hipsters have a reason to bandwagon. <<< in other words "if I think an album is good then that means it ok for everyone else to like it"

    " For me it's as if it was written in the attic by a Victorian recluse. I think there's a sense of abandon about the songs, even lyrically. The image of the woman who would write the album is very specific, and It's actually as if that woman is not actually PJ Harvey herself. As if she is possessed by the spirit of the tormented woman who lived this life years ago. I really love this album so much because it holds a very unique ambiance." Totally Agreed!!!!

    Her piano skills weren't all that impressive tbh. Most songs had the same notes and structure. Still a good PJ album, but it didn't impress me. LES may be overrated, but at least the hipsters have a reason to bandwagon. It really is a great album. It deserves more praise and hype than Adele's 21.

    I don't know about equally good. "Uh Huh Her" and "White Chalk" were good, but not great.

    I am in awe of the fact that people would think "White Chalk" sounds anything like Björk. it sounds nothing, and I mean nothing, like her. Perhaps the icy embellishments on "grow grow grow" could slightly bring "Vespertine" to mind, but other than that, zero. Nothing like Tori Amos either. Or Kate Bush. To me it sounds more like an era than another person (the only other person that came to mind was Dimanda Galás who's influence seeps through vocally in "The Mountain").. For me it's as if it was written in the attic by a Victorian recluse. I think there's a sense of abandon about the songs, even lyrically. The image of the woman who would write the album is very specific, and It's actually as if that woman is not actually PJ Harvey herself. As if she is possessed by the spirit of the tormented woman who lived this life years ago. I really love this album so much because it holds a very unique ambiance.
