		Chapman’s always been one to linger in the depths, but thankfully, she seems to have seen some sort of light recently.
		Chapman’s voice is higher and clearer than usual, and the song has a loungey, downtown feel that’s new for the folksinger.

		Tracy Chapman had a top 10 hit in 1988 with "Fast Car," from her debut album.
		Her subsequent albums explore many of the same themes, and while another song about domestic violence is not exactly unwelcome, with each album Tracy sounds more tired and more resigned to the status quo she seeks to expose and change.
		Most of my women friends who are familiar with Tracy recommend the more recent New Beginning, where, with a new producer, Tracy returns to the more acoustic sound of her first album.

	Tracy Chapman
		Tracy Chapman emerged from obscurity in 1988 to become an unlikely pop star: a harsh-voiced fl woman who made no concessions to fashion or "femininity," singing stark leftist songs that didn't have happy endings.
		It seems Chapman's never going to break out of her full-band folk-rock formula, so the only points worth discussing are the clarity of her lyrics and catchiness of her melodies.
		Produced by Tchad Blake and Chapman, and it's much snappier than anything she's done since the 80s: more than half the tunes are under four minutes apiece ("Taken") and the mood is energetic (the blistering diatribe "America") as often as not ("Taken").

		Tracy's intensity, her poetry, her strong convictions, her musical soul are here for all the world to cherish.

		Like her, Chapman has a voice that needs no accompaniment; it is an instrument unto itself.

		Tracy Chapman's seventh studio album, Where You Live, is not only a reflection of the issues concerning her own domicile but of the wider tribalist rancourings--class, race, religion and the economic divide--which fracture human accord.
		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.

	BMG Music Service: CD Detail
		Chapman's set evokes a warm, heartfelt, backroads spirit that's both calming and inspiring.
		Though she has added a backup band, Chapman continues to take a simple musical approach that focuses attention on her voice and to sing lyrics that alternate between intimate emotional portraits and broad political generalizations that seem more felt than deeply thought out.
		As such, Chapman's relationship songs, though they too can be a little vague, register more powerfully because they are so personal.

	Atlantic Records - Tracy Chapman Home (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Grammy winning singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman returns to the recording fold with a new album that's as notable for its soulful hearthside vibes as for its deep-felt songs.
		Co-produced by Chapman and celebrated sound engineer and mixer Tchad Blake (Los Lobos, Peter Gabriel, Pearl Jam, Tom Waits, Bonnie Raitt, Elvis Costello, Richard Thompson), Where You Live was recorded at an improvised San Francisco rehearsal space-turned-studio that inspired the singer and her accompanists to stretch out both musically and spiritually.
		Running the stylistic gamut from hauntingly rendered ballads ("3,000 Miles," "Going Back"), to coarse-grained Americana ("Before Easter," "Taken," "America") and bright-burning acoustic rockers (the album's maiden single, "Change"), Where You Live is a remarkably intimate-sounding album that reestablishes Tracy Chapman as one of the premiere singer-songwriters of her time.
