From her explosive presence as frontwoman of Savages—the Mercury Prize-nominated post-punk band known for their charged live performances—Jehnny Beth has evolved into one of the most restless and multifaceted creators on the contemporary music scene. Her solo debut album, To Love Is To Live (2020), spectacularly expanded her artistic vision: bold, cinematic, and deeply emotional.
Since then, Beth has multiplied her collaborations (Idles, Gorillaz, Sextile, Bobby Gillespie), while continuing her successful acting career, with notable appearances in Audiard’s Paris, 13th District and Justine Triet’s Palme d’Or and Oscar-winning Anatomy of a Fall. In 2020, she created the ECHOES series, giving a platform to emerging artists such as Wet Leg, Fontaines D.C., and Kneecap.
In 2022, she returned to the stage with IDLES, toured with Depeche Mode in Europe, and accompanied Queens of the Stone Age in the US, where her performances at hardcore and metal festivals rekindled a new creative fire. Returning to France, she teamed up with her close collaborator Johnny Hostile to create You Heartbreaker, You, her second solo album, which was released last August.
