Hearts And Flowers by Joan Armatrading - Uhune

ALBUM

When Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" blanketed the airwaves in the summer of 1988, many listeners first assumed that the song was a new Joan Armatrading single. The similarity between the two singers' voices is uncanny. For her first album after Chapman's early success, Armatrading--undoubtedly unconsciously--positioned herself away from acoustic-oriented folk-pop into a more adventurous musical realm. Led by ghostly keyboards and prominent atmospheric bass work by Mick Karn (ex-Japan), the songs sound terrific, but the most interesting aspect of HEARTS AND FLOWERS is in the lyrics. Songs like "More Than One Kind of Love," "Promise Land," and "Someone's In The Background" seem intentionally ambiguous; they could as easily be declarations of newfound religious faith as simple love songs. The title track is equally impressive, and the album as a whole is remarkably bold and adventurous.
