PREVIEW: Virtuoso artist Joan Armatrading releases latest single

Ray A-J August 29, 2018

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Joan Armatrading releases new single and dates of upcoming tour.

MULTI AWARD winning singer-songwriter, Joan Armatrading released her latest single Loving what you hate, on June 4.

The popular blues artist has also announced an upcoming UK tour, which will see her perform at thirty three locations across the UK, from September 10.

Armatrading describes the track’s intentions as a song to celebrate onself and eradicate insecurities.

She explains:There are lots of people who will say ‘I hate how I’m looking in this dress’ or they’ve always got something to hate about themselves. Meanwhile everybody’s thinking ‘You look fantastic.’ So I wanted to write about that because you see that so often and it might be quite nice for people to think ‘Oh, actually it’s alright, somebody loves me for whoever I am.’

Armatrading was first known to audiences fourty two years ago, with her popular track Love And Affection. As the first UK female artist to reach the top of the Billboard Blues Charts, she has since gone on to release twenty albums, receive an MBE, and win an Ivor Novello Award (amongst others).

The track is the second single to be released from the Grammy nominated artist’s upcoming album Not Too Far Away, which also features her recent track I like it when we’re together.
