Details: Amazon.caFor Where You Live musician Tracy Chapman wanted to keep the production and performance aspect simple and pared-down. According to Tracy, « this approach creates an opportunity for more emotion. » The lady speaks the truth. Where You Live is straight-up raw and it gets high marks for achieving that simple and pared-down effect. « Talk To You » is nothing short of perfection, four minutes of sparse, sad soul music sung to a departing lover. The next cut « 3,000 Miles » is about a different longing, a poetry-rich track that captures the desperation of isolation, alone in a city filled with violence, and a yearning to be in a safe space. By virtue of being a folk singer with deep convictions, Chapman has not been shy about tackling difficult topics. On this release, « America » is easily the most political, a dialogue on appropriation starting from Christopher Columbus to the present day. Surprisingly, the discs first single « Change » is one of the least gut-wrenching on the disc, so those who arent a fan of the song best not be put off by it. Incredibly, Where You Live marks Chapmans 20th anniversary as a recording artist. Along the way, songs such as « Fast Car », « Talkin Bout A Revolution » and « Give Me One Reason » have demonstrated her amazing power. On Where You Live, her testament to musical simplicity is a good move, allowing this important singer/songwriter a chance to showcase beauty, fragility and a magically incendiary spirit. –Denise SheppardProduct DescriptionThis is Tracy’s seventh studio album that was co-produced by Chapman and Tchad Black, who has lent his innovative production/mixing talent to recordings by an eclectic array of artists. Tracy describes the songs on this album as being reflections about home, place, and love. The first single is « Change. »
