I read that Alice Walker and Tracy Chapman were partners, which is a coupling I ship hard (how about Walkman for pairing name? Tralice? I'll work on it). The List is treating me to some excellent female vocalists lately, and I hope the trend continues.
I liked the songs that were more stripped down in terms of production, like "Fast Car" and "Behind the Wall" but I guess that is a lot to ask of an 80s album. I guess her karmic reward for that was being included in a Nicki Minaj song.
I was also impressed by the lyrical quality. Walkman for the win!
RATING: 4/5
