American singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman expresses concerns about the current state of the United States.
In an interview with the German Press Agency, American singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman, born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1964, voiced her concerns about the current state of the country. At 61 years old, Chapman remains a powerful voice, her music resonating with millions of fans worldwide more than 35 years after the release of her debut album.
Chapman's album, simply titled "Tracy Chapman," gained worldwide fame in 1988. The record, re-released on vinyl recently, addresses issues like poverty and racism that still persist today. Chapman finds it disappointing that the issues she addressed in her album are still relevant, describing her feelings as "terrible" about the current state of the country.
However, Chapman also expresses mixed feelings about the continued popularity of her album. On one hand, she is grateful for the impact her music has had and continues to have. On the other hand, she finds it disheartening that the issues she sang about are still prevalent.
Despite her concerns, Chapman believes that there should be no loss of hope despite the current situation. She believes that there are people who have never lost hope, even when changes seemed impossible. Chapman's dream as a songwriter is to create something significant that lasts over many years.
Chapman's comments were made in reference to the possibility of changes in the country. Her concern is directed towards the actions of the US President Donald Trump's government. Chapman finds the current situation "concerning."
Tracy Chapman's goal is "to be a good citizen" and "to do what I can to engage and make the world a better place." Her music, with its powerful messages and enduring relevance, serves as a testament to her commitment to this goal.
