Our Bright Future

On her 20th anniversary as a recording artist, Tracy Chapman has written one of the most powerful and moving albums of her career.

"Our Bright Future" is Tracy's eighth studio album (her first since 2005's acclaimed "Where You Live") and comprises of 11 new songs written by Chapman. "Our Bright Future" marks the latest stop in a musical journey that began in 1988 with the release of Tracy Chapman. The multi-platinum debut earned three Grammy Awards and featured the classic singles 'Fast Car', 'Talkin' Bout A Revolution' and 'Baby Can I Hold You'. It went on to become one of the most successful debuts of all time, selling more than 18 million copies worldwide. To this day, it still makes regular appearances on album charts around the world, and in the UK it is the most successful album by a female artist in chart history, having spent almost 200 weeks on the chart.

Impervious to trends, Tracy has commendably stayed her musical course, earning the approbation of fans, critics and peers for her subsequent albums: 1989's multi-platinum Crossroads, 1992's Matters Of The Heart, 1995's multi-platinum New Beginning (which featured the Grammy-winning single 'Give Me One Reason'), 2000's platinum Telling Stories, 2001's multi-platinum Collection, 2002's platinum Let It Rain, and 2005's Where You Live.
