“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 twenty-first and 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.
