I don’t know how to quite describe this album because it is so different than anything I have ever produced. Some of my friends have been previewing the project to help me refine and describe it. Brian McLaren, who has continued to encourage my work and music since we co-produced Songs For a Revolution of Hope together wrote this:
With this release, Tracy Wispelwey joins an elite group of musicians that includes Anais Mitchell, Ben Harper, Michael Franti, Bruce Cockburn, Ani Difranco, and Tracy Chapman: singer-songwriters who address social and spiritual issues with prophetic insight. What sets this collection apart even from that august group is the rich, sometimes-big and sometimes-frail mixture of electronica, trance, anthem, and hymn. Think of the musical love-child of Sarah McLachlan and Sigur Ros. One hopes these songs will help create a new genre.
Much, much more to come!
