On her second album, Tracy Chapman goes the traditional singer-songwriter route--think Carly Simon, James Taylor, etc.--by largely writing about the effects on her life of the unexpected success of her first album. The title track, standard blues imagery aside, is as self-analytical and autobiographical as any one of Joni Mitchell's early '70s albums. Other songs, like "Material World," address the same concerns in more subtle fashion.
Elsewhere, Chapman looks at freedom and oppression in such songs as the Nelson Mandela tribute "Freedom Now" and "All That You Have is Your Soul." Chapman and producer David Kershenbaum add subtle touches like horns, slide guitar (courtesy of Neil Young), and accordion, opening up the guitar-and-voice canvas of her self-titled debut and fleshing out the strongly melodic songs without overpowering them.

Tracy Chapman exploded out of the Boston folk scene in the late eighties, carrying the acoustic guitar-playing singer/songwriter mantle to a more political and socially conscious level than had recently been achieved. Her deep alto and throttled vocal delivery, combined with attentively scrutinized social scenarios presented in a simple, accessible manner, rocketed Tracy to the top of the charts and into the Grammy record books. Instrumentally crisp and minimal, TRACY CHAPMAN is a compelling statement from ...

"Give Me One Reason" won a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Rock Song. Tracy Chapman earned four additional Grammy nominations for NEW BEGINNING. "Give Me One Reason" was nominated for Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, and the album was nominated for Best Pop Album.
What made Tracy Chapman's self-titled 1988 debut significant was her ability to bring the troubling stories of America's underbelly to an audience mostly removed from such problems, but eager to listen. Her supremely crafted songs quickly became anthems, making her the first popular African-American singer-songwriter to reach mega-stardom. Seven years later, Chapman's ...

There's nothing particularly fancy about Tracy Chapman's particular brand of folk-rock; she just blends the folk into the rock more appealingly than most anyone out there.

Crossroads
$7.15
Tracey Chapman's sixth album continues her tradition of immaculately crafted, self-effacing, deceptively low-key songs that consistently get to the root of things. That the most commercial track here ("Say Hallelujah") is about a funeral speaks volumes about Chapman's songwriting approach. "The bucket is kicked/The body is gone" she sings prosaically; "Eternal rest for the weary/Mourners party tonight." It's a catchy song that manages to retain its optimism despite its mortal subject.
With LET IT RAIN Chapman seems to be settling in to an acceptance of her cult status after her initial success with "Fast ...

Crossroads
$8.49
The evolution of sound set forth in their fi rst record self-titled CD, CUBIKY, released in 2004 on Escuchalo Records, now consolidates to make Cubiky an electro-power trio that fuses the energies, feelings, sensations and sounds of the three elements that form their concept. Carlos Sotelo (programming, guitar, voice and keyboards), Trippy Castillo (bass, voice and synths) and Alex Arce (drums, kaoss pad) are Cubiky. Together they create a group that dedicates itself to breaking cultural and linguistic barriers through danceably fresh, pleasant and powerfull electronic melodies. Their awesome stage presence and the incredible energy exhibited in their live performances have made them heavy hitters in L.A.’s Latin Alternative music scene. Cubiky’s well-earned reputation has allowed them to play abroad at such events as the annual “DJ Dance” festival celebrated in Acapulco (Mexico), South by South West (SXSW) in Austin, Texas, alternating with artists like Plastilina Mosh, Nortec Collective, Andrea Echeverri, Ely Guerra and Lucybell among others. They’ve taken their multimedia show on the road through much of the United States and performed in throughout Mexico in cities like Guadalajara, Toluca, Cuernavaca and Puebla. They’ve been awarded the special honor of performing in a special show at the historical Zocalo in Mexico City. Their international recognition has grown phenomenally since the release of their debut CD, resulting in Cubiky being tapped to participate with acts like Cafe Tacuba,Molotov, and Julieta Venegas by contributing their electro rock take on “Golpes en el Corazón” to Fonovisa’s “Homenaje de los Tigres del Norte” esteemed tribute CD. They’ve also gained recognition in Spain via their participation in the much-acclaimed compilation “Electronic Latin Freaks.” Cubiky’s “Conmigo” video, from their self-titled first CD, is still in rotation on MTVS, LATV, SITV, HTV and MUN2. Early reports from industry insiders confirm what we expected: Cubiky’s latest CD, “Aura,” is awesome! It has piqued the interests of the internationally upcoming mexican video director Sofia Garza for both Kinky and Porter, who has committed to taking on the video for “Pirotecnicas,” the premier single from “Aura,”...just because she can’t get the tune out of her head! It just ...
