Faithfull engaged a new generation of singer-songwriters
on Before The Poison (Anti, 2005), mainly
Polly Jean Harvey (The Mystery of Love) and Nick Cave (Desperanto).
The double-disc Easy Come, Easy Go (2008) was an elegant but pointless collection with covers ranging from ancient country and soul stars.
The covers on Horses and High Heels (2011) weren't even elegant.
Give My Love to London (Dramatico, 2014), her 20th solo album,
featured Nick Cave
(Late Victorian Holocaust)
and Roger Waters (Sparrows Will Sing) among others,
and even Brian Eno on backing vocals for the cover of
Leonard Cohen's Going Home.
Negative Capability (2018) featured new songs by Nick Cave (The Gypsy Faerie Queen), Mark Lanegan (They Come at Night), and several with Ed Harcourt.
She Walks In Beauty (2021) is a spoken-word album with ambient music composed by Warren Ellis. The texts are poems by
Yeats, Wordsworth, Shelley, Keats, Byron and Tennyson.
Brian Eno plays clarinet and Nick Cave plays piano and vibraphone in The Bridge Of Sighs (plus Vincent Segal on cello and Warren Ellis on celesta), which also happens to be the piece that most closely resembles Eno's original ambient album.
The ghostly La Belle Dame Sans Merci has Brian Eno on electronics, Nick Cave on piano and Ellis on Violin.
The Lady Of Shallot floats for 12 minutes in a celestial landscape
sculpted by ondes martenot and synth.
She died in 2025.

Faithfull ha ingaggiato una nuova generazione di cantautori in Before The Poison (Anti, 2005), principalmente Polly Jean Harvey (The Mystery of Love) e Nick Cave (Desperanto).
Il doppio disco Easy Come, Easy Go (2008) era una raccolta elegante ma inutile con cover che spaziavano da antiche star del country e del soul. Le cover di Horses and High Heels (2011) non erano neppure eleganti.
Give My Love to London (Dramatico, 2014), il suo ventesimo album solista, comprendeva Nick Cave (Late Victorian Holocaust) e Roger Waters (Sparrows Will Sing) tra gli altri, e persino Brian Eno come voce di supporto per la cover di Going Home di Leonard Cohen.
Negative Capability (2018) comprendeva nuove canzoni di Nick Cave (The Gypsy Faerie Queen), Mark Lanegan (They Come at Night) e diverse con Ed Harcourt.
She Walks In Beauty (2021) č un album di parole pronunciate su musica ambient composto da Warren Ellis. I testi sono poesie di Yeats, Wordsworth, Shelley, Keats, Byron e Tennyson. Brian Eno suona il clarinetto e Nick Cave suona il piano e il vibrafono in The Bridge Of Sighs (pių Vincent Segal al violoncello e Warren Ellis alla celesta), che č anche il pezzo che assomiglia di pių all'album ambient originale di Eno. La spettrale La Belle Dame Sans Merci ha Brian Eno all'elettronica, Nick Cave al piano ed Ellis al violino. The Lady Of Shallot fluttua per 12 minuti in un paesaggio celestiale scolpito da sintetizzatori (anche ondes martenot).
