Joan Armatrading How Did This Happen And What Does It Now Mean? Limited Vinyl LP

Overview:

The 12-track set is the latest embellishment in a catalogue that opened in 1972 with 'Whatever's for Us'. That LP launched the distinguished career that has led to MBE and CBE decorations, Ivor Novello and BASCA Gold Badge Awards for songwriting, BRIT and Grammy nominations, countless honorary degrees and far more. As usual in her recent history, the new record is a triumph of self-sufficiency, entirely written, produced, programmed and engineered by Joan herself. 'How Did This Happen and What Does it Now Mean' will rapidly be recognised by Armatrading's legions of devotees and new fans alike as a songwriting and recording masterclass. On a bed of melodies and arrangements that are by turns immediate and subtle, it weaves a lyrical tapestry that touches on both individual and universal themes with her trademark dexterity and easy charm, not to mention two show-stopping instrumentals.
