Joan As Police Woman presents her new album in collaboration with Dave Okumu and drummer Tony Allen
Joan As Police Woman is back with a brand new collaborative album, reuniting her with Dave Okumu and the recently deceased Afrobeat drumming legend Tony Allen. They will release The Solution Is Restless on November 5th. Regarding this new project, Joan As Police Woman states: "Damon Albarn introduced me to Afrobeat legend Tony Allen at the Africa Express 'The Circus' event in March 2019 and we hit it off. Tony and I played a version of Nina Simone's 'I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free' and decided to record together. I asked my old friend and musician Dave Okumu to join us from London and that November, in a Parisian studio, we jammed all night. When the world stopped, I used these recordings to write this album called The Solution Is Restless."
