PJ Harvey returns with Voyager, a striking first signal from her next artistic chapter and first new music since 2023's Grammy-nominated I Inside the Old Year Dying. The song had already been taking shape as part of Harvey's next album, when Professor Brian Cox invited her to write a song for his 'Emergence' world tour. Recorded with a full orchestra at Miraval Studios in Provence, Voyager takes its name from the NASA probes launched in 1977, still travelling through interstellar space nearly 50 years on. The music highlights the interplay between swelling string arrangements and pulsing synthesiser signals stretching out into the cosmos: icy, ethereal, and pensive, yet threaded with an unmistakable humanity. Across it, Harvey contemplates our small, fragile place in the universe; a 'pale-blue dot', a flake of snow, dust in a sunbeam, and finds in that vastness a quiet plea to choose light and to choose love.

The way the visuals matched with the song so perfectly. Ugh her mind!

Stunning song from a legend. I think you could make the argument for either Polly or Kate Bush as the greatest living female artist from England.
