Lovin' her new album that came out on February 9th.
I'd like to like this, because I like hearing new music, but I can't get into this song. I tried.

She might be good, overall, but I find this particular song dreadful. I tried twice to listen, couldn't make it all the way through.

I know one of her exes, a transman from Florida. When we met, she was in a seeming fog of self-absorption. The transman left her for his shrink and then married a mutual friend for health insurance. People are fucking nuts man.

It's not my type of music at all, but I liked the song. Thanks, OP.
I have a friend who saw her life some years ago and said it was a great show. This friend has good taste in, well, everything, so Joan must be good live.
Didn't Joan date Jeff Buckley?
P.S.
I'm surprised at the 'raw' look of the video. Mainly, Joan was lit in a way that doesn't do her wrinkles and skin texture any favors.

Here is the Guardian review & a link to another video:
"The common criticism of Joan Wasser is that she slinks too close to AOR blandness; that she is, essentially, alt-Adele. Yet with all due kudos to the mighty Ms Adkins, you’d be unlikely to hear her sing, as Wasser does on the psychedelically angry clatter of The Silence: “My body, my choice, her body, her choice”. An irrepressible smoothie she may be, but like her airier Canadian contemporary Feist, she’s got spikes.
After poppy diversions for 2014’s The Classic and Let It Be You, her 2016 collaboration with Benjamin Lazar Davis, Wasser is back in a more characteristically languorous, smoky zone for her fifth album as Joan As Police Woman, with an added 70s sheen. Her edgily lascivious high notes light up Godley and Creme-y soft, reverby spaces on Wonderful and Tell Me. Talk About It Later, meanwhile, gets funky, and Steed (for Jean Genet) positively filthy, dabbing hints of Parliament falsetto weirdness on hot pulse points. Lushly regretful lead single Warning Bell finds Wasser lamenting her lack of romantic wariness but diving back in anyway. Damned Devotion embraces the messy as well as the smooth, and the balance here is as perfect as Wasser’s ever likely to strike."

I like JAP but there is something just slightly ‘off’ about all of her songs. As though they are prototypes for songs but incomplete.

Joan As Police Woman with Benjamin Lazer. "Broke Me In Two".

She looks like Laura Dern in the "Twin Peaks" revival.

Someone told me if I like Joan I would like a band called Tennis. Anyone?

they're different in sound, r18 BUT i can imagine a concert set with Tennis opening for Joan or vice versa.

I am in lust with her latest album - Damned Devotion. It's her typical style only more refined and better.

Interesting story, R4. I saw her in concert many years ago, and it was cool, but she is way full of herself. It was fun though. Cannot remember a single note she sang or played. Remember her pose and attitude. She could teach Jackie (on Assistance) a thing or two.

She does remind me of Feist.
Nothing new here....

I wish there was more retro underproduced Kate Bush stuff from Katrina Lenk -- but I guess we have to go with your Feist knock off?

What’s with the name?

it's a reference to a 70s crime-drama starring Angie Dickenson. Police Woman.

But I had heard of XXXTENTACION.
So I am not completely out of the loop.
