Starlight (Joan Armatrading album)

Starlight is the eighteenth studio album by British singer-songwriter Joan Armatrading, and was released in 2012 as a digital album on the Hypertension label, (HYP 12287) and then as a CD in 2013 on the 429 Records (FTN 17925) and Savoy labels.

[2] Armatrading produced the album, wrote and arranged all the songs and plays all the instruments.

James Christopher Monger of AllMusic commented that Starlight "offers up a luxurious set of new originals [and] skilfully bridges the gap between the smooth folk-pop of Show Some Emotion, the amorous candor of Lovers Speak, and the evocative cool of Into the Blues".

[3] Bass Guitar magazine said that Starlight is: "a sterling effort from the veteran songwriter ... and features high quality bass playing as well as top-notch songs".

[4] The Scottish Daily Express commented in May 2012 that "Starlight has a jazzier feel than previous offerings ... and [Armatrading's] ability to adapt is what sets her up as one of the finest female singer-songwriters this country's produced".
