Faithfull released her latest album, Negative Capability, in 2018 – featuring longtime collaborators Nick Cave and Ed Harcourt. Hot Press's Pat Carty described it as a "heart-breaking and heartbroken record, and the best thing she's ever done."

Earlier this year it was revealed that a biopic about the iconic singer's life, titled Faithfull, was on the way, starring Lucy Boynton.
