Tracy Chapman - Our Bright Future

專輯風格：Pop/Folk/Blues/Alt. Rock/Soul 專輯類別：音樂 / 歐美流行發行公司：Label: Elektra 發行日期：2008.11.10 音樂品質：192k/VBR 授權方式：共享版專輯簡介：這位創作型的女歌手在 80年代一經亮相，便成萬眾矚目的焦點。Tracy Chapman 的首張同名專輯於 1988年春天出版，這張專輯受到熱烈好評，其中單曲《Fast Car》爬升到了排行榜第6名的位置。這張專輯為 Tracy Chapman 贏得了當年的 3項格萊美獎，其中包括"年度最佳新人獎"。首張專輯的成功為她後來的事業發展鋪平了道路，幾個月後，她應邀參加為慶祝南非黑人運動領袖納爾遜·曼德拉 70歲生日而舉行的音樂會。Tracy Chapman 的歌風是 70年代城市鄉謠的延續，不過她的音樂更富時代氣息，對社會問題的揭示也更犀利。在她的音樂中，反對種族歧視、呼吁民權一向占有主導的地位。 Theres a competent version of A Change Is Gonna Come, sung by Seal, doing the rounds at the moment. The timing of its release is surely not accidental – the sublime Sam Cooke original would have made an ideal campaign song for Barack Obama. Its acknowledgement of hard times and humble roots, and its swelling hope for the future, expressed by Obama's watchword, "change", makes it a pertinent social anthem for the times. The title of Tracy Chapman's new album also appears to have some prophetic intent. The respected singer/songwriter was actually interviewed as part of the BBC's US election coverage in the minutes following the announcement of an Obama victory, when she proclaimed herself "proud to be an American". Hey, isn't that a song? 專輯曲目： 01. Sing For You 02. I Did It All 03. Save Us All 04. Our Bright Future 05. For A Dream 06. Thinking of You 07. A Theory 08. Conditional 09.
