Rocktrospectiva: The Magnificent And Acclaimed "Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea" Turns 25
Back In 1998, while shooting a film as an actress for Hal Hartley in New York, she felt inspired by the city and wrote several songs. Some of them ended up on the record. In 1999, she chose to live there for nine months. However, she insisted in interviews it was not "my New York album". Songs were also written while she was in London or at home in Dorset. Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea was then recorded at Linford Manor in Milton Keynes in March – April 2000.
The record was co-produced by Mick Harvey, Rob Ellis and Harvey, and mixed by Victor Van Vugt at the Fallout Shelter. The album featured a duet with Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke on the track "This Mess We're In", as well as backing vocals and keyboards from Yorke on the songs "One Line" and "Beautiful Feeling". She had met Yorke in 1992 and they had stayed in contact. She said: "I'd long been interested in the idea of somebody else singing a whole song on a record of mine, to have a very different dimension brought in by somebody else's voice. It adds so much dynamic within the record to have this other character coming in".
She wanted the record to be more direct: "It's very different musically to the first couple of albums. It's very melodic, and it's much rounder and fuller. The earlier albums were very black and white in some sense, very extreme. Melodically, this is much more sophisticated than those records. It kind of feels like a combination of every album I've made so far rolled into one." The songs were also a musical departure from her previous dark material. Having experimented with some dreadful sounds on Is This Desire? and To Bring You My Love—where I was really looking for dark, unsettling, nauseous-making sounds—Stories from the City... was the reaction. I thought, No, I want absolute beauty. I want this album to sing and fly and be full of reverb and lush layers of melody. I want it to be my beautiful, sumptuous, lovely piece of work." She did, however, concede jokingly that it was only "pop according to PJ Harvey, which is probably as un-pop as you can get according to most people's standards."
Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea received critical acclaim hailed it as "a magnificent, life-affirming opus" by Harve, the best album of her career. A mature, intelligent album shining gracefully with passion and due this, it was unquestionably one of the best releases of that year.

Rocktrospectiva: El Definitivo "To Bring You My Love" Cumple 25 Años
Si las canciones en "Rid Of Me" eran más agresivas y describía sus relaciones amorosas enfocandose más en la venganza y el ataque a la masculidad tradicional, aquí en este nuevo disco, se considerar otras cosas, como la perdida o la partida de algun amante, el sacrificio y la entrega completa del amor, también emplea la imaginería biblica como el Cielo, Dios y Jesucristo como niño, habla sobre la religión desde el punto de vista de encontrar una respuesta que finalmente tenga sentido.
