Experience the peak of early 80s art-rock with Joan Armatrading’s critically acclaimed masterpiece, Walk Under Ladders. Released in 1981, this album marked a bold new direction for the singer-songwriter, thanks to the edgy, dynamic production of Steve Lillywhite. It is a record that defies simple categorization, seamlessly weaving together elements of pop, reggae, and post-punk into a cohesive and captivating sound.

The tracklist is a showcase of Armatrading's songwriting brilliance, led by the infectious rhythm of "I'm Lucky" and the defiant energy of "The Weakness in Me"—one of her most emotionally powerful ballads. With the legendary rhythm section of Sly & Robbie providing a rock-steady pulse and Thomas Dolby adding atmospheric synth textures, tracks like "At the Hop" and "When I Get It Right" possess a rhythmic sophistication that was ahead of its time.
