New album from the inimitable Joan Armatrading

Consequences is her twenty-second album, different from what’s gone before yet with all the Armatrading hallmarks. ​ From from the opening notes of “Natural Rhythm”, there’s no doubt who you’re listening to. ​ The catchy "Already There" is about someone finally arriving at the same emotional place as you, but the track that leaves you singing along days later is "Better Life" – a positive, uplifting tune about loving yourself.

Over the past 50 years, she’s steadfastly built her fanbase by always going her own way, a fiercely independent voice who never sounds like anyone else. Now is the time for the world to rediscover and reappreciate a 70-year-old legend who is still marking her mark on the music world.
