I have said it about a thousand times, but what really sells Joan of Arc for me is those lilting country sounding guitars post-middle eight.



Almost makes me want to hear a country album from her. Almost.

But beside the technical shoddiness, I won't hear a word against Rebel Heart's production. So many gorgeous production touches and moments.

Not one of my personal favourites, but her voice on this is spell binding.

Does anyone else think "Joan of Arc" lost some of its emotion on the album version? I even prefer it live - there's something about that processed beat that seems to take away from what is actually a really nice song.

As for Avicci Heart, I remember hearing it the first time, and yes it sounded dated and undercooked, but I did think, this sounds so warm and her voice sounds wonderful - and on top of that, it sounded like a song the masses would have embraced from Madonna with a little bit of work. I could honestly see how it could have been a lead single. But then, I also kind of preferred the "Living For Love" demo, but I guess it was too much of a rip-off of that Kiesza "Hideaway". In some ways it also reminded me of "Deeper and Deeper" and that era though.

Even more prominent and gorgeous on the acoustic version that was cut last minute

No, the demo was cute at first, but the beats gave the song life. When I listen to the demo version now I get bored and skip.

Joan Of Arc could have been a big single moment for her, one of my favourites on RH.
And still imagining her in the music video in that chain mail outfit... sigh

I agree. When the demos leaked it was one of my favourites but I never/rarely listen to the album version. It was definitely a better song without the beat.

I just splurged and got the super deluxe edition of the album for £2.30.

Is it worth it???

The last album I bought of hers was Confessions.
