Joan Armatrading - Walk Under Ladders
In the early 80s, Armatrading pivoted to a more pop sound. On Me Myself I (produced by Richard Gottehrer of Blondie fame) she was backed by most of Springsteen's band.
On this 1981 release Steve Lillywhite takes over the boards, and she's backed by folks like Tony Levin, Andy Partridge, Sly & Robbie, Jerry Marotta,, and Thomas Dolby.
A&M clearly wanted a hit.
Lots of fun.
