Product Description

CD Description
Tracy Chapman's career has been one of occasional mainstream success and quiet protestation, and her eighth full-lengthrecording 'Our Bright Future' seems to fall into the lattercategory. With customary hushed confidence, Chapman here sounds heavily influenced by 70s rock and tackles hefty issuesof the day. The title track muses on the futility of war, while other songs deal with various social and, occasionally,hyper-personal subjects. This release delivers exactly whatone might expect from Chapman, literate and intricately-composed songs performed with taste and subtle verve.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the Wait, 17 Feb 2009
By L. Hennessy "rapidly gaining weight" (Twickenham) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
You know what you're going to get with Tracy - she's a singer songwriter who produces guitar-based songs that are strong on melody, lyrical content and emotion.

I was expecting a fair share of this album to consist of fairly downbeat sad songs, as her songs often sound this way (even though given a few more listens they often prove to be uplifting).

I was surprised to hear such a consistently light tone to the songs of this album; she sounds really happy. I'm glad for her. From the first listen I loved this album - my favourite before this was 'Let it Rain', quite a sad one (as the title demonstrates!) - it's always a pleasure to play an album that you 'get' right from the word go, and this one grabs you straight away.

I've read reviews from professional critics saying stuff like "more morose love songs as expected", but this album isn't morose in the slightest - it's been three years since her last release, and this is her at her happiest and BEST. Very highly recommended - listen to the introductions to the tracks via the list below and hear for yourselves...

5.0 out of 5 stars Mellow and soothing, 4 Mar 2009
By Big Bertha (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Not having heard anything from Tracy Chapman for years I borrowed this from a friend and played it in the car on a longish journey to and from the airport late at night.

Her mellow, soothing tones and soulful lyrics were an ideal travelling companion and blended well with the sound of the windowscreen wipers in the heavy rain on a practically empty motorway.

Outstanding tracks for me are 'Sing for you', 'I did it all' and 'A theory'

Never really what you'd call a fan, I've not heard her for years and the last album I bought of hers was in the 80s when 'Fast car' was a hit. This album was a pleasant surprise, whilst mellow most of the tracks are upbeat melodies. I've since bought my own copy and the Tracy Chapman Collection
