- There was a moment after PJ Harvey released her ninth studio album in 2016 when she wasn't certain if she even wanted to make music anymore.
"I really just wanted to really step back a bit and think, 'Okay, what do I want to do with my remaining years? Is it this, still?'," she tells World Cafe during her visit to WXPN's studios.
In the subsequent years, Harvey found her way back to songwriting by rediscovering a part of her past. She rekindled that playfulness she used to feel when she first started making music. Harvey's latest album, I Inside the Old Year Dying, lends itself to the sort of fantastic imagination that allows us to construct entire worlds as children. She talks about that journey with Raina Douris in this episode of World Cafe.

Not only is her music amazing, she also sounds like a smart and wonderful person❤
She does absolutely sound like ah smart wonderful person 👂
She is so articulate and thoughtful, a true artist to the core.
Totally
I love her voice talking as much as singing. What a beautiful interview, props to WorldCafe
One of the best of her interviews. Amazing and subtle performances too
I love Polly. She is an authentic artist that astonishes with her creations. Throughout her career, she's been an ever changing chameleon. Her performances are theatrical presentations that require little if any stage props or visuals. If I had to select a similar artist to coincide with my comments, that would be David Bowie.
A fantastic interview with really interesting questions asked which evoked even more interesting answers. I can't think of a musician who has evolved as much as PJ Harvey in thirty years of making music, all the while retaining integrity and strength. At best, most musicians have done their best work by three albums. She never fails to surprise.
Where's the visuals?
A lovely person and artist, yet every interview I have researched of her is 100% self-absorption, or the tiny world of the self. Strange, because those two things usually don't go together.
They are asking her questions about her creative process, what do you expect?
To a creative person, the self is not a tiny world. It is a vast and endless amalgamation of creative potential.
