For this new episode of [SESSIONS], we invited critically acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Joan As Police Woman to play the title track of her latest album Lemon, Limes and Orchids, out on Play It Again Sam.
We loved this song from the first listen; the lyrical poetry, the story telling and a breathtaking display of Joans soulful voice in its full, transformative glory.
Joan on ‘Lemons, Limes and Orchids’:
“Before cell phones and perpetual connectivity, I would wander NYC and purposely get lost. At that time, there were large swaths of NYC that had not been developed. I could be the only person on the street for blocks. I guess it was a form of meditation but I didn’t know to call it that then. I could sink into my sadness and allow the city to eventually revive me. I give thanks to my city for always reviving me. I am sure it wasn’t easy.“
Enjoy this one take shot of Joan performing ‘Lemons, Limes and Orchids’ solo on the piano, filmed and recorded at [CHEZ PIAS] in Brussels a few months ago.
We are in love.
Original version of ‘Lemon, Limes and Orchids’ can be found on her 10th studio album ‘Lemon, Limes and Orchids’: https://joanaspolicewoman.ffm.to/llando
