Long recognized as a pioneering force with a career spanning three decades, the Saint Kitts born Joan Armatrading has maintained an acclaimed and storied career. The three time Grammy nominated British artist has garnered countless accolades which include Top 10 albums and singles (“Love and Affection,” “Willow,” “Drop The Pilot,” are but a few), not to mention a #1 debut atop the Billboard Blues chart in 2007 (a first for a female artist from the UK). Armatrading's new album, “STARLIGHT,” is an all new collection of 10 songs which emphasizes her unequaled prowess as a singer and arranger and explores the dimensions of love and the human condition in lively jazz-inflected musical arrangements.
