Joan As Policewoman collaborates with Rufus Wainwright on new album

Mar 10, 2008

Joan As Policewoman has announced the details of her second album, 'To Survive'.

The album, the follow-up to her debut, 2006’s 'Real Life', is preceded by a single, 'To Be Loved'.

The trio will also preview the album, which features Rufus Wainwright on its closing track, at an intimate gig at the Freedom Studio at London’s Roundhouse on April 17.

Real Life brought Joan Wasser out of the shadows and established her as that rare thing, a truly unique and original voice. Songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist, Joan has bewitched fans across Europe and the US over the last two years and is set to garner a wealth of new devotees with [title]To Survive[/title].

An album of unashamedly heartfelt songs, in Joan's words, "I am always trying to dig deeper into the emotional experience. I want to access the most honest place I can, distill it and present it in a way that makes sense musically."

The title track catches the overall tone of the record best. A haunting piano ballad with a melody that refuses to settle, To Survive was inspired by a lullaby her mother used to sing to her as a child to allay her recurrent fear that was about to be burned at the stake, like the other Joan. "I still feel like that as an adult sometimes," Wasser says cryptically. "And I don't edit out or water down those feelings. Why should I? Everything I do comes from my heart."


1. honor my wishes
