Let It Be You

Celebrating a decade of continuous critical acclaim and international success, Joan As Policewoman returns, this time working alongside fellow Brooklynite Ben Lazar Davis. A true collaboration from studio to stage, from two artists well known for their ability to effortlessly cross musical genres.

A deeply soulful artist, Joan has famously worked with Antony (Anohni), Rufus Wainwright, Lou Reed, and David Sylvian. Benjamin is a talented multi-instrumentalist who currently performs with Okkervil River, Cuddle Magic, and Bridget Kearney.

Joan and Ben met each other after separate trips to Africa; Ethiopia for Joan as part of Damon Albarn's Africa Express, and West Africa for Lazar to study traditional music. They initially bonded over Central African Republic Pygmy musical patterns and ended up writing this album together loosely inspired by this music.
