Free Music Notes for New Beginning
Free Music Review: Wonderous, Authentic, & Warm
Hit: 5 Stars
I have eclectic tastes in music (alternative rock, R & B/soul, reggae, folk) -- yet this is truly one of my favorite CDs...I am not sure if it is truly brilliant, but I definitely emotionally & musically connect with it. Tracy has grown (up), demonstrated by the increased nuance and textures...
Surely one can't expect the naive & angry freshness of her debut... Instead this satisfies more, and yet avoids "middle of the road" status. "New Beginning", "Cold Feet:, & "The Promise" are amazing songs (melody, lyrics, textures).
Wonderful stuff.
Cheers.

Heaven here on earth, give one reason, and well, all of the songs are just so dang good! the words, the band, the blusey wonderfulness of all of it. just good stuff. buy it. Free Music Review: An emotional journey: not for the weak of heart
Hit: 5 Stars
Ok, I understand the "Give me 2 reasons" review only because the radio release of Give Me One Reason was a bit of false advertising. But come on people, you can listen to a CD before you buy it now! This is, without question, my favorite of her collection. It is a rare gem that takes you on an emotional journey through the heart and the world. At this Point in My Life is as real as it gets in life. If you can't be this honest in love, then what's the point? The live performance of Promise at Lillith Fair in '97 made me cry and it was the first time I heard this song: my first Tracy Champan experience. Remember the Tinman? I think we all know the Tinman in this life and I wonder if this song refers to mankind. Lastly, I'm Ready is rightfully placed at the end. This song is enlightening and is reason alone to have purchased this CD. "Gonna wake up and know where I'm going...I'm ready to let the rivers wash over me". This is the most beautiful song I've heard from Tracy.
If you LOVE emotional music, buy this one and Tracy's debut album.
Free Music Review: Only one complaint
Hit: 5 Stars
I only have one complaint about Tracy Chapman.....she doesn't do more! A superbly talented songwriter, storyteller and vocalist, Tracy is terrific in "New Beginning." The rock and blues "Give Me One Reason," hooked me from the start. But check the "listen" section to hear clips of all her songs to be sure you like Tracy Chapman's work because it is different. You don't want to buy an entire CD just because of one song then get all out of wack because you don't like the rest!
Chapman's "I'm Ready," has a repetitive theme but so much soul. The sad and also soulful "Smoke and Ashes" is terrific with a real story and Chapman's voice giving it life.
This isn't music for the masses but it's great for the conniseur of soul, blues, pop, and great great songwriting. While other lesser people claim credits for writing their own material only Chapman and Jewel remain in the Pop arena as remarkable vocalists and songwriters. Anyone with a good voice can get on stage and warble out the songs of others. Chapman makes no such fake pretenses. She's terrific in "New Beginning."
Again, this isn't a cd for everyone. So give it a listen before you buy.
Free Music Review: It will break your heart
Hit: 5 Stars
I am a new devotee of Tracy after hearing a song on the radio. I love the whole CD, but "Promise" could break your heart. The feeling she puts in the song feels like she's been there.
