Review

Tracy Chapman's 'New Beginning' is a real treat for the ears, y'all. Released in '95, this album shows how much Chapman had grown as an artist since her debut. I'm telling you, the way she blends her classic folk-rock sound with new musical flavors is just *chef's kiss*.

The songs on this record are mostly chill and laid-back, but don't worry, there's still some toe-tappers in there. 'Give Me One Reason' is the standout hit, and let me tell you, it's got this bluesy vibe that'll have you swaying in no time. It even snagged Chapman a Grammy for Best Rock Song in '97 - how cool is that?

What really gets me about 'New Beginning' is how Chapman tackles big issues without weighing down the tunes. Songs like 'Heaven's Here on Earth' and 'The Rape of the World' show off her knack for addressing heavy topics while still keeping things musically engaging. And can we talk about the production? Don Gehman, who's worked with some pretty big names, really brought his A-game here. The backup singers and variety of instruments add so much depth to Chapman's sound. It's no wonder this album sold millions and got so much love from critics and fans alike. - Sienna
