With “Holy City” Joan as Police Woman may have attained Leslie Feist levels of catchiness and accessibility.
The tune, which features an outro from the incomparable Reggie Watts, is a soulful Pop bomb waiting to explode on unexpected dancing feet, clapping hands, and trying to sing-a-long voices everywhere.
The video is pretty fuckin’ cute too.
“Holy City” is from Joan’s newest LP, ‘The Classic’, due out March 10th via the Play it Again Sam label.
Catch her live at one of these dates.
