Released in 1985 on A\u0026amp;M Records, this record captures Armatrading at a creative crossroads, masterfully blending her folk-rock roots with the polished, synth-accented production of the era. Produced by Mike Howlett, the album is a testament to Joan's versatility as a songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe album features the standout single \"Temptation,\" a track that perfectly encapsulates the record’s blend of rhythmic precision and soulful delivery. From the driving energy of \"Persona Grata\" to the delicate, atmospheric beauty of \"The Talking Blue,\" Secret Secrets explores themes of love, privacy, and human connection with Joan's trademark lyrical honesty. The musical arrangements are top-tier, featuring the distinctive fretless bass of Pino Palladino and the artful guitar work of Adrian Belew (of King Crimson fame), adding a layer of avant-garde texture to the melodic pop structures.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Groove Crust","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56980432617855,"sku":null,"price":4.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/8580\/5439\/files\/IMG_3493.jpg?v=1771431053","url":"https:\/\/groovecrust.com\/products\/joan-armatrading-secret-secrets-vinyl-lp","provider":"Groove Crust","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
