Joan Armatrading - do i ever need to listen to her?

years before I knew about the whole gay sitting trope I used go through my mother's LPs and just stare at the album art for to the limit and if an album cover can change your life maybe this one did. I wasn't that impressed with the naked version of electric ladyland which my mum was proudest of owning but I just couldn't get enough of whatever joan was doing on that cover

Joan is definitely in my all time favourite artists. Such a pure talent. Walk under ladders is perfection.
