I have to say that, at first, I thought that Our Bright Future by Tracy Chapman will be a great album. Like Let It Rain, which started out to be hard to crack, but then quickly became a favorite. Except, this time, it was the album was promising and then faded fast. Its 2 good tracks “Conditional” and “I Did It All” caught the ear and then vanished. I have to say that the album has no withered away into becoming a banal piece of empty folk musings.
