When
reviewing an artist with as extensive a career as Joan Armatrading, there is
not time to delve into the work as deeply as with the newer bands. That is
frustrating in that it feels impossible to do justice to the music.
So, Joan
Armatrading has a beautiful voice, rich with depth and polish. She conveys
emotion powerfully.
With four
decades of recordings, her music has touched on different genres, but is more
defined by her voice than anything else.
Favorite
songs of mine included "Drop the Pilot", "Down to Zero", and
"The Weakness in Me" - all of which show up among her more popular
works, but also which give a good idea of how fun she can be and how much she
can make you ache.
