Since she very first broke the door down to our hearts with her debut album Real Life all those years ago, Joan As Police Woman has delivered everything from gut punching torch songs, wild collaborations with Tony Allen and Dave Okumu, and worked with artists as varied as Gorillaz, Scottish folk act Lau, and Placebo. Now, Joan returns to focus on her own smouldering sound, her own remarkable voice, and a brilliant new set of songs on Lemons, Limes and Orchids. - Flying Out
Joan As Police Woman's 12th studio album, Lemons, Limes and Orchids is a crowning showcase of her voice in all it's metamorphic splendour. "I was ready to make an album that truly featured my voice. The basics were recorded like they used to be- with me singing live along with the band. My good friend told me this is the sexiest album I've ever made. Honestly, I think she's right." The record is a nocturne about love and loss - what else is there? - and a reckoning with our collective disorientation, part hymn to holding on and part benediction of letting go. Joan has toured the globe, performing in dive bars and symphony halls, at independent music festivals and on the BBC, and has collaborated with a kaleidoscope of luminaries, including Lou Reed, Rufus Wainwright, Tony Allen, Damon Albarn, John Cale, Laurie Anderson, Sufjan Stevens, Anohni, Beck, Meshell Ndegeocello, Toshi Reagon, David Byrne, and Daniel Johnston. She has participated in three Africa Express trips and teaches at NYU's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music.
