Synopsis

Album Description
For nearly two decades, Tracy Chapman has been a truly individual voice on the modern musical landscape, charting and artistic path that owes nothing to trend and fashion, and everything to personal spirit, intelligence, and integrity. An eloquent teller of stories that are at once deeply intimate and yet speak to universal human concerns and a wider social conscience, Chapman has created a body of work that has been as consistently compelling as it is honest and uncompromising.

Very inspiring, yet relaxing music. She's quite a story teller.

Live It Up
Thomas Magnum | NJ, USA | 09/15/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Tracey Chapman is one of the more underrated performers of the last twenty years. Every two or three years she releases an album filled with quality songs. Where You Live is no exception to this rule. The album is an appealing mixture of socially aware and deep lyrics set to an easy flowing mid-tempo beat. Ms. Chapman has one of the warmest voices in music and she employs it to perfection on tracks like "Never Yours", "3,000 Miles", "Before Easter" and the highlight track "Talk To You". "America" is another classic political charged song from Ms. Chapman and lets hope she continues to shine a light on the issues as she has done so admirably well for so long."
An Artist of Beauty, Inspiration and Honesty

"With "Where You Live," Tracy Chapman continues to build on an important body of work. Her most consistent virtue (one among many!) is the choice she obviously made from day one, to use her wonderful writing and performing skills as tools to strip away the veneer of our daily comforts, and talk to us honestly about who we are, and where we are going. For many Americans, listening to the songs in this moving release will be like looking into a mirror, and for the rest of us, I hope they serve as an alarm of sorts, and an indelible reminder that this is where we all live. On several of these songs, Tracy's voice reminds me of the late great Nina Simone. Given the substance of their respective bodies of work, I believe both of them would be very comfortable with this comparison. This is a great record!"
