Show Some Emotion
Joan Armatrading
The collection balances delicate acoustic work with sudden, energetic bursts of funk and soul. It serves as a transition point between the singer-songwriter style and a more polished, groove-centered approach to pop music.
Open, crisp production techniques allow the instrumentation to remain understated while the vocals take the lead. This creates an intimate experience, as the arrangement provides a clean backdrop that highlights the unique character of the performance.
