For Joan Armatrading, that sense of sensuality and magic has always been seminal in her canon of work. For over fifty years the English/Kittian singer-songwriter has walked a unique path, shimmering between pop stardom and introspective studio albums that have always seemed more of an elegant puzzle than a revelation. What has never altered is her love of language. Whilst some of her contemporaries have long since waded into more temperament waters, Armatrading still has a glimmer of what novelist Jim Harrison once described as a sense of echo. Great prose that basically calls and tells upon itself. ‘East or west/ Where’s the best/ For romancing.’The line indicates that the narrator is torn between her loyalty to her current lover and her feelings for the other person. 5.
