“I had a wonderful, inspirational English teacher called Mrs Simpson. She introduced me to the English Romantics. I had to leave it all behind in order to be a pop singer, but I never forgot them.”

—Faithfull on her inspiration for the recordings

She Walks in Beauty is a 2021 studio album by Australian multi-instrumentalist Warren Ellis, and the final studio album by British singer Marianne Faithfull. Putting music to British romantic poetry, Faithfull started recording it in 2020, only finishing it during her recovery from a serious case of COVID-19. She has described the work as her dream project that she wanted to record for 50 years. The album received positive reviews from critics.
