REVIEW OF "LET IT RAIN"
Fifteen years on from talkin’ bout a revolution Tracy Chapman returns with her sixth album – and nothing’s changed.
You’re The One comprises twelve beautifully written, beautifully crafted, intelligent songs.
Tracy began singing in coffee houses and the streets surrounding Harvard Square whilst attending Tufts University, where she read Anthropology.
Her first album, Tracy Chapman, made her a star. It still makes appearances on album charts worldwide.
All the tracks are written by Tracy Chapman, co-produced by Tracy Chapman – You’ll find her name under credits for playing acoustic guitar, clarinet, backing vocals, bass, hand claps, electric guitar – What doesn’t she do? (Answer: Her name’s not against the accordion credit.)
The singer-songwriter that produced Fast Car, Baby Can I Hold You and Talkin’ Bout Revolution hasn’t lost any of her talent – but maybe some of her accessibility.
Cue the title track —> Let in Rain. Rain. Never a crowd pleaser.
Track two. Chorus. ‘If I never see another sun, If I never see another sun…’ a song about leaving this world. Hmm.
There’s hope. Track three : You’re The One – even if others ’say you’re bitter, think you’re mean, uncouth, untamed and unrestrained.’
Life isn’t simple in Tracy Chapman’s songs – but then life isn’t simple.
It’s refreshing to have an artist who’s music is very much her own, not the market fashion.
Music and songwriting with depth and feeling.
Tracy’s rich voice, her chanting, enchanting.
Even reading the words of her songs is like reading from a poetry book.
Pour yourself a measure, turn the lights down low, sit back… and listen.
