Sleight of Hand

Sleight of Hand is a studio album by British singer-songwriter Joan Armatrading, released in 1986. The record blends pop, rock and soul elements with polished 1980s production, combining acoustic and electric guitar textures, synthesiser touches and Armatrading's intimate vocal delivery, and it represents a phase in her career where she adopted a more contemporary, synthesiser-infused sound while building on her earlier folk and singer-songwriter foundations.
