How Did This Happen And What Does It Now Mean

Brand new sealed album from Joan Armatrading.

Grounded in her music and confident in her abilities, Joan Armatrading has never buckled to current trends and genres in over five decades of superlative music-making. 'Influential' and 'pioneering' are just two of the epithets that have been rightly attributed to her.

The very first British female singer/songwriter to gain international success, Joan has won accolade after accolade. Having been honored by an MBE from the Queen in 2001, In 2020 Joan was awarded a CBE and she has even received the keys to Sydney along the way. In 1973 she was named Outstanding New Artist in Music Week — and she's never looked back.

Known as a true craftsman, Joan's distinctive vocals and consummate musicianship have led to widespread and, perhaps most importantly, consistent critical acclaim. Effortlessly eclectic, her sound has ranged from jazz to soul to sophisticated pop, all driven by her passionate guitar.

How Did This Happen and What Does It Now Mean was entirely written, produced, programmed and engineered by Joan Armatrading herself.
