Tracy Chapman - New Beginning - 1995

I need to preface this post that I sort of half listened to this album. I think I put so much effort into the Stormzy listen that I was ready to move onto something else tonight. But I’m trying to get back on schedule!

I owe it to you, Tracy, to do better. So I’ll write this now and then come back tomorrow or later this week to relisten.

Listening to this in the background, I really enjoyed her voice. I’ve always been allured by her unique folky raspy voice. I’ve never listened to this album but Give Me One Reason is legit one of my favorite so I felt like a fraud for not knowing the whole album.

Love the guitar in Remember the Tinman, but also got lost in something else because it was in the background.

I think my initial favorite song was New Beginning. I loved the intro with this sweet rhythm layered under this annoying buzzing noise. Just catchy.

Anyway I’m lazy and tired now.
