Tracy Chapman
Artist Overview
Tracy Chapman made quite a stir with her first album in 1988. With her soulful, Joan Armatrading-like voice and poignant songs full of artfully rendered social realism, she represented a strong new voice in the singer-songwriter realm. That album's hit "Fast Car" became her signature song. Though Chapman never equalled her debut's success, she's continued putting out thoughtful, emotionally honest records over the years, and her commercial profile got a boost with the surprise bluesy hit "Give Me One Reason" in 1996.
