The young newspaper supplement Clarín play an eInterview with British singer PJ Harvey, conducted by journalist Amy Raphael, in Spanish translation of Joaquin Ibarburu.
The talented songwriter looks back at her career and, nearing 40, reflects on her future. The meeting between the artist and Raphael took place in a pub in the hometown of Harvey, west of England. The chronicler describes her as a very beautiful woman, with wavy black hair, chalk-white skin, and blood-red lips, and compares her to the Jagger of the first epoch of the Stones and the Iggy Pop more histrionic.
The interview begins with the words of PJ, talking about how the public received his debut album: “When the first record, Dry, came out in 1991, I was amazed at the way everyone interpreted the lyrics. He did not imagine that they were going to build theories about what he had written. A song like Legs from Rid of Me (1993) was about cutting off the legs of a lover who didn't want to leave. It is not something to be taken seriously. The sexual metaphors added to the fact that she was a very young woman, who was beginning to explore those areas. Now I write differently because I have already experienced many things and I don't feel like I should go through that again. "
Paragraphs are also devoted to his love life, his doubts about his career and his influences, which have punk godmother Patti Smith as Harvey's favorite standard-bearer.
