Przemyslaw Molik, The Varsaw Voice, 21 June 2006
A
very special event: world-famous artist Tracy Chapman
will sing June 27 in Warsaw. A rebel, influential social
activist, and winner of four Grammies, she will perform
at the Kongresowa Hall at her only concert in Poland.
Chapman
will promote her latest album, Where You Live. It came
out at the end of last year and features artists including
Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and keyboard player
Mitchell Forom, known for his work with Paul McCartney
and Sheryl Crow. The record is the seventh of Chapman's
career.
The
best known pieces come from her debut album released
in 1988. Fast Car, Talkin' Bout A Revolution and Baby
Can I Hold You won her three Grammies and launched her
career.
Chapman's
lyrics speak of love, dreams, threats and human weakness.
The
Give Me One Reason blues single from her album New Beginning
released in 1995 brought the artist her fourth Grammy.
The latest album has 11 original compositions, with
Chapman having collaborated with Peter Gabriel, Pearl
Jam, Suzanne Vega and Sheryl Crow.
