The fantasy life of poetry & crime

"If you've come looking for indie sleaze, search elsewhere. Now married and nearly three years clean, Pete Doherty is happier and sorted for cheese and fizz rather than chasing darker endeavours. `The Fantasy Life of Poetry & Crime', the Libertines and Babyshambles man's first collaborative album with French musician, composer and producer Frédéric Lo, is testament to that: written and recorded in Pete's new home of France, there's a sense of place throughout".

"The creative collaboration between lyricist and songwriter Peter Doherty and French composer and producer Frédéric Lo is inspired ... Is this Peter Doherty's true artistic voice? This record makes you consider the question more than previously. There is no doubt that the style and execution are a valid, fascinating glimpse, and they represent, at least, one of his true voices".
