The singer-songwriter took to her social media to share a New Year update, which also saw her share a playlist of songs she found \u201cinspiring and strengthening\u201d in 2025.<\/p>\n

She wrote: \u201c2025 saw the end of the \u2018I Inside the Old Year Dying\u2019 tour in Australia and Japan in March. The two-year tour was such a wonderful experience to have been a part of, and I hugely enjoyed being able bring the music to life in a shared experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince then I have been writing songs for my next album and poems for my next book, which is a process that always surprises and challenges me, but one I realise I am committed to and love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her playlist, which you can listen to below, includes tracks from techno auteur Tim Hecker through to artists such as Robbie Basho, Clarissa Connelly and Laura Cannell.<\/p>\n

Last year, also saw her appear on the \u2018Los Angeles Rising\u2019 wildfire relief benefit compilation<\/a> album alongside Nick Cave<\/a>, Devo<\/a>, Gary Numan<\/a>,\u00a0Primal Scream<\/a>\u00a0and more.<\/p>\n

Harvey also joined a host of artists last November in calling on the UK government<\/a> to uphold its previous pledge to put a cap on seconday ticket prices<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Her last album 2023\u2019s \u2018I Inside The Old Year Dying\u2019<\/a> scored a four-star review <\/a>from Elizabeth Aubrey, who wrote for\u00a0NME: \u201c\u2018I think the album is about searching, looking\u2026 and seeking meaning,\u2019 Harvey said.<\/a> While the meaning part is sometimes tough to decipher \u2013 far more so than her previous work \u2013 it\u2019s not the answer here that\u2019s important but the journey.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt takes a little time to immerse yourself in Harvey\u2019s world, but once there, you won\u2019t want to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PJ Harvey has revealed that she is working on a new album and book.
