  Faithfull released several albums from the late 1990s into the 2000s that received positive critical response, beginning with Vagabond Ways (1999), which was produced and recorded by Mark Howard. Vagabond Ways included collaborations with Daniel Lanois, Emmylou Harris, Pink Floyd's Roger Waters, and writer and friend Frank McGuinness. Later that year she sang "Love Got Lost" on Joe Jackson's Night and Day II.
  
  Her renaissance continued with Kissin Time, released in 2002. The album contained songs written with Blur, Beck, Billy Corgan, Jarvis Cocker, Dave Stewart, David Courts and the French pop singer Étienne Daho. On this record, she paid tribute to Nico (with "Song for Nico"), whose work she admired. The album included an autobiographical song she co-wrote with Cocker, called "Sliding Through Life on Charm".
  
  In 2005, she released Before the Poison. The album was primarily a collaboration with PJ Harvey and Nick Cave; Damon Albarn and Jon Brion also contributed. Before the Poison received mixed reviews from both Rolling Stone and Village Voice. In 2005 she recorded and co-produced "Lola R Forever", a cover of the Serge Gainsbourg song "Lola Rastaquouere" with Sly and Robbie for the tribute album Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited. In 2007, Faithfull collaborated with the British singer-songwriter Patrick Wolf on the duet "Magpie" from his third album The Magic Position, and wrote and recorded a new song for the French film Truands called "A Lean and Hungry Look" with Ulysse.
  
  In March 2007, she returned to the stage with a touring show titled Songs of Innocence and Experience. Supported by a trio, the performance had a semi-acoustic feel and toured European theatres throughout the spring and summer. The show featured many songs she had not performed live before, including "Something Better", the song she sang on The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. The show included the Harry Nilsson song "Don't Forget Me", "Marathon Kiss" from Vagabond Ways, and a version of the traditional "Spike Driver Blues". On 4 November 2007, the European Film Academy announced that Faithfull had received a nomination for Best Actress for her role as Maggie in Irina Palm.
  
  Articles published at that time hinted that Faithfull was looking to retire and was hoping that money from Songs of the Innocence and Experience would enable her to live in comfort. She said: "I'm not prepared to be 70 and absolutely broke. I realised last year that I have no safety net at all and I'm going to have to get one. So I need to change my attitude to life, which means I have to put away 10 per cent every year of my old age. I want to be in a position where I don't have to work. I should have thought about this a long time ago but I didn't." She still lived in her flat located on one of the richest Parisian avenues and had a house in County Waterford, Ireland. Recording of Easy Come, Easy Go commenced in New York City on 6 December 2007; the album was produced by Hal Willner, who had recorded Strange Weather in 1997. and featured a version of Morrissey 's "Dear God Please Help Me" from his 2006 album Ringleader of the Tormentors. In March 2009, she performed "The Crane Wife 3" on The Late Show. In late March, Faithfull began the Easy Come, Easy Go tour, which took her to France, Germany, Austria, New York City, Los Angeles and London.
  
  In November, Faithfull was interviewed by Jennifer Davies on World Radio Switzerland, where she described the challenges of being stereotyped as a "mother, or the pure wife". Because of this, she insisted, it had been hard to maintain a long career as a female artist, which, she said, gave her empathy for Amy Winehouse when they had met recently.
  
  On 5 March 2009, Faithfull received the World Arts Award for Lifetime Achievement at the 2009 Women's World Awards. "Marianne's contribution to the arts over a 45-year career including 18 studio albums as a singer, songwriter and interpreter, and numerous appearances on stage and screen is now being acknowledged with this special award." The award was presented in Vienna, with ceremonies televised in over 40 countries on 8 March 2009 as part of International Women's Day.
  
  On 26 October 2009, Faithfull was honoured with the Icon of the Year award from Q magazine.
