The Weakness in Me: The Selected Lyrics of Joan Armatrading

Product Information

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. Online since 2010 it is one of the fastest-growing and most respected music-related publications on the net.

She’s won plenty of awards throughout the years and has influenced many other artists (just as there would be no Tori Amos without Kate Bush, there would arguably be no Tracy Chapman without Armatrading). Selected and arranged by the author, and featuring a foreword by revered record producer Glyn Johns, 'The Weakness In Me' presents the lyrics of Armatrading. In 2020 she received the Ivors Academy Fellowship Award, their highest accolade, and in 2021 was awarded an AIM Award for her contribution to music. From her emergence though into long stretches of her later career, Joan Armatrading has for the most part found herself in a curious middle ground not entirely of her own making.Selected and arranged by the author, The Weakness In Me presents the lyrics of Joan Armatrading for the first time in one unique volume. One of Britain's female artists who has stood the test of time with songs such as Love And Affection, Willow, Drop The Pilot and Lovers Speak.

The South African leader was a man of fire and rebellion and with lines like ‘we should treat each other/ as we should be treated’ drifting close to sycophancy – there’s a tendency to dilute his politics and almost canonise him. While she was somewhat less prolific in the ‘90s than she had been up to that point, the new millennium constituted a rebirth of sorts for Armatrading.

It’s almost a perfect bedfellow for ‘love and affection’, proving that even at seventy years of age she is still being handed down couplets of silken beauty from the pan gods of pop. For Joan Armatrading, that sense of sensuality and magic has always been seminal in her canon of work.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.
