Tracy Chapman
by Tracy Chapman
The same 'sound' as Fast Car is heard over the whole album. She has a very nice way of telling stories in songs. Across the lines feels oddly relevant today, which is very sad, knowing this song is today 35 years old and still (police) racism hasn't bettered ... Behind the wall continues this feeling. She transports us to her living situation, if that is her own. It demonstrates how well she can convey a story, I believe it's something she is going through. All in all a nice album but I never really listen a lot to this genre.
