 :: Albums





Grammy winning singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman returns to
the recording fold with a new album that's as notable for
its soulful hearthside vibes as for its deep-felt songs.
Co-produced by Chapman and celebrated sound engineer and
mixer Tchad Blake (Los Lobos, Peter Gabriel, Pearl Jam, Tom
Waits, Bonnie Raitt, Elvis Costello, Richard Thompson),
Where You Live was recorded at an improvised San Francisco
rehearsal space-turned-studio that inspired the singer and
her accompanists to stretch out both musically and
spiritually. The result is 11 original compositions
complemented by some of the most intimate performances
Chapman has ever captured. Running the stylistic gamut from
hauntingly rendered ballads ("3,000 Miles," "Going Back"),
to coarse-grained Americana ("Bef More...

    Review about Tracy Chapman

    Tracy Chapman - Across the line - KickFacer Media | Reviewer: KickFacer Media
        ------ About the song Across The Lines performed by Tracy Chapman

    Track number three on her self titled album that sold over ten million copies worldwide, It became the number one album on Billboard's Pop Album Charts. The song captures her vocal abilities and mixes it with her talent with the guitar in one big cocktail shaker and pours it on you like a trip to Niagara Falls. Tells the story of a fight between both black and white with casualties on both sides but the blacks are blamed because of racism. This has not been confirmed by the artist but it seems very logical. Brilliant artist and brilliant song. - Ethan G.


    Great stuff | Reviewer: Renee - Kenya
        ------ About artist/band Tracy Chapman

    I used to hear "Talking about Revolution" on our local FM stations and had no idea that there were other great songs, but when i got to hear the other songs.... it was so great. keep on gal. Your songs have a deeper meaning


    im a guy | Reviewer: zak
        ------ About the song Behind The Wall performed by Tracy Chapman

    Although i'm a guy i understand the feeling as i saw these scenarios as a kid growing up and i promise to be the best husband i can be and never inflict that pain and fear someone that cant defend themselves.


    about black america | Reviewer: anonomous
        ------ About the song Bang Bang Bang performed by Tracy Chapman

    This song is not about children emulating violence on television. The boy in this song is specifically young black men and about the rolls and choices blacks in America are forced to adopt. Lack or opportunity, lack or education- this is a song about White America against the black man. Lyrics like "what you gonna do? gonna give a boy a gun? Now there ain't nowhere to run to, there ain't no where to run." Is about limiting choices and throwing suspicion on him.
    Lyrics like " If there's no one else around, bang bang bang, we'll shoot him down." Is about doing just that, exterminating the problem when no one else can point the finger and say racist.
    Lyrics like " If he preys only on his neighbors
    Brothers sisters and friends
    We'll consider it a favor
    We'll consider justice done" Is about hoping blacks kill each other off.


    she's the best | Reviewer: theblueoak
        ------ About artist/band Tracy Chapman

    i am from India and didn't have much exposure to the western music but when i heard her for the first time , i found myself connected to this kind of music. The lyrics are great , the music is great and her singing is beyond words!!!!
    All the best to you , the world is fortunate to have a singer like you.


    Amazing =O | Reviewer: Katt
        ------ About the song Fast Car performed by Tracy Chapman

    This song is Amazing with a capital A =O This is the song that helped me make it through the awkward and hard days as a 7th grader... and now it is "My song" Such as it represents me :), tracy has inspired me to become a singer/actress and I am going for it! She has helped me become someone! =D


    Brilliant | Reviewer: Miss Janice Fuller
        ------ About the album Matters Of The Heart performed by Tracy Chapman

    As with each album, Matters of the Heart is brilliant! Each song is sung from the heart, each telling it's own story. Tracy Chapman is an inspiration to everyone, a unique artist with unique vocals. 'Dreaming on a world,'and 'open arms' are essential listening for anyone who loves music that touches the heart.


    Karmic Loops | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Change performed by Tracy Chapman

    It's a call to act. This song is brilliant in depicting the need to get over yourself and pass on good and love to others instead. That's a two-way street though, therefore the appeal to change and give in.


    The Promise | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song The Promise performed by Tracy Chapman

    My daughter got engaged and she and her fiancee are now studying at two different universities. I am a singer and sang this song at their engagement party and ended up crying louder thant both of them. Mothers can be such wimps!!!!


    brings me to tears | Reviewer: Daughter
        ------ About the song All That You Have Is Your Soul performed by Tracy Chapman

    The other day this song was playing when i was in the car with my mother... she told me this was her song for me... i just cried my eyes out... it is important to remember that the only thing you truly own in this world is your free will and your soul and how important it is to be concious of how the decisions you make effect it


    Beautiful! | Reviewer: Naomi Mckency
        ------ About the song Unsung Psalm performed by Tracy Chapman

    This song is so beautiful. The lyrics are really appropriate for those of us who may not have lived up to certain expectations; for those of us who falter along the path of life. "I've tried to live right" - those words are so important.

    Tracy Chapman is so gifted and this song inspires me so much!

    Song: "The Promise" YOU ARE REALLY INSPIRATIONAL TRACY! | Reviewer: Fondzenyuy Emile-Ernest
        ------ About artist/band Tracy Chapman

    I couldn't believe in the first place that you are a woman not until I did some research on you over the net! You have an amazing voice and that I love very much. Anytime I listen to your audios I am incredibly moved by your lyrics especially in "The Promise!" In fact, I don't really know how to tell you that you are a wonderful woman with, according to me a "man's voice! And that is the amazing part of it all-I love it. Best of wishes Tracy.


    I just love listening to it over and over.... | Reviewer: Fondzenyuy Emile-Ernest
        ------ About the song The Promise performed by Tracy Chapman

    It is not long since I discovered your true identity, I mean that you are a woman. For over the years I took you for a man. I did not know such inspirational lyrics might come from a woman. It has and always reminds me of the one I love eventhough she is far from me and this song has given me the impetus to wait for her in trust. Thank you Tracy for delving into soultouching lyrics for people out there. Indeed you are concrete and that makes for non-monotonous listening of your songs. More grease to your elbows Tracy while I will always cherish the songs of a woman with a "man's" voice.


    Why do I wonder? | Reviewer: Me
        ------ About the song Happy performed by Tracy Chapman

    This songs describes how I feel - I should be happy to be loved by someone I really love and I should be happy to just be me. I seem to wonder for reasons that are within me and not her. I hope I can overcome my failings before I lose her.


    You mean more than you know | Reviewer: Nicole
        ------ About artist/band Tracy Chapman

    I just have to say what exactally Tracy's music means to me. When I was 9 my father died in a horrable car accident and I remember him always listening to Tracy. So now that i'm older her music has a special place in my heart and makes me feel so close to my father. I would like to Thank Tracy for putting out such great music that is really timeless. I am now 26 and I still listen to her and it doesn't matter what song it is I know them all by heart. Thank you


    Love is the soul of this Song. | Reviewer: Navjot
