Damned Devotion III WIP

Hey all, wanted to post a bit of a WIP for the next chapter of my Witcher fic. This one is dedicated to @natvonpankratzdelettenhove ;) thank you for the support! This next chapter gets a little spicy, so I cannot wait to share the full thing with everyone!

The wind was cold. 

It whipped around you, flinging cutting shards of snow and ice. Your breath was ragged. Every time you inhaled, the air filled your throat and lungs with a burning blossom of cold rawness. Blood dripped into the snow from the deep cuts on your forearms. In the distance, dogs bayed. Panting, your knees buckled, and you crumpled into the small snow drift that had formed on your doorstep. The men were gone, their footprints receding into the woods behind your home. You hoped they would make good feeding for the wolves, or something worse. At least, you hoped they never found their way back to your home. Blood, rimed with frost, trailed out of the entrance of your cottage and was smeared across your door. You needed to clean up, bind your arms and get back in the house, but you were so tired. Even as you realized that your body was going into shock, it was too late. You fainted in a heap onto the snow of your doorstep.

[Video+Live] Joan As Police Woman mit neuem Video!

Joan Wasser aka Joan As Police Woman hat für das Video zur Single “Warning Bell” aus ihrem kommenden Album “Damned Devotion” (09.02.2018 Play It Again Sam) mit dem New Yorker Filmemacher und Künstler H Spencer Young (hspenceryoung.com ) zusammengearbeitet.

Joan war es wichtig, im Clip die Texte in dem zarten Song über das Bedauern nicht mit zu vielen Bildern zu verschleiern, und erklärt: “Words mean different things to different people and it’s important to me to allow the listener to have images of their own. That being said, the weather cooperated with us that night - rain and moisture in the air has always made me thoughtful. We wanted to capture the mystery of New York City while driving through Chinatown and parts of Brooklyn that hold deep meaning for me."

Nicht das einzige Stück auf “Damned Devotion”, bei dem Joan sich textlich wieder der verletzlichen Nacktheit und Ehrlichkeit der ersten Alben “Real Life” (2006) und “To Survive” (2008) annähert.  “My maxim is: if it feels scary to say it, it’s the thing you must say”, so Joan.

Und wir freuen uns, dass soeben erste Tourtermine bestätigt wurden: 30.03. A-Graz - Project Pop Cultur 31.03. A-Wien - Metropol 09.04. Berlin - Festsaal Kreuzberg 10.04. Hamburg - Knust 14.04. Weissenhäuser Strand - L-Beach Festival Booking in D: Schoneberg

Die wunderbare Joan As Police Woman zeigt sich erneut wandlungsfähig im Video zum Titeltrack ihres aktuellen Albums “Damned Devotion”. Schöner und anmutiger kann man sich über die ‘verdammte Hingabe’ kaum beschweren...

Düsseldorf - Open Source Festival 05.08. Varel - Watt En Schlick Festival Booking in D: Schoneberg

[Video] “Tell Me” von Joan As Police Woman

Am kommenden Freitag veröffentlicht Joan As Police Woman ihr neues Album “Damned Devotion” auf Play It Again Sam und mit dem Video zur zweiten Single “Tell Me” beweist Joan ihre Vielseitigkeit - im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes!

Zur Entstehung des Clips sagt Joan Wasser: “The director, Brian Crano, and I became friends when I scored his upcoming feature Permission (released the same day as my album Damned Devotion). I asked him if he could suggest someone to shoot my video and within 5 minutes he had written me back an entire storyline himself. He used the fact that I enjoy creating personas as the basis for the video. I play a variety of characters; a glam queen, a chef who consumes her own heart, a (self-)interrogator, photographer, etc. Let’s just say at one point I wield a unicorn piñata glitter canon… Tell me tell me tell me what (else) do you want? Hope you enjoy!!”

Nach der ersten Single “Warning Bell” und diesem wunderbaren Video steigt die Vorfreude auf die Album-Veröffentlichung und die kommende Tour noch mehr.

30.03. A-Graz - Project Pop Cultur 31.03. A-Wien - Metropol 09.04. Berlin - Festsaal Kreuzberg 10.04. Hamburg - Knust 14.04. Weissenhäuser Strand - L-Beach Festival Booking in D: Schoneberg

Single Review – Joan as a Police Woman – Tell Me

https://open.spotify.com/track/6odG9ixoRPegB1iEvcHhq0?si=jVDvFmp5QyiQ8_zaQiDokg With her fifth studio album as a solo artist Damned Devotion out on February 9th, Joan Wasser will look to build on the sophisticated Pop she’s plied for well over a decade. ‘Tell Me’ is the latest single from it and serves as another example of smooth chamber Pop and Soul influenced music. Smooth riffs and bass lines…
