One of the best albums ever made by a kid
It's difficult to believe from listening to this that it could be possible, but the throaty, wailing voice that anchors the songs on this superb album is that of a girl who was 11 at the time. She's also great at not wasting it, either, employing some top jazz and pop-soul background players who do as much to give the album a mature, sophisticated, sound. Best songs include the ballad "Hide And Seek", the midtempo "Symptoms Of True Love", and the breezy upbeat "Cross My Heart."
Also of note is a brilliantly robust cover of the John Lennon anthem "Imagine," which Lennon purists would probably be impressed by (or at least not insulted by).
Such a talent
Tracie is a great talent. It's a shame that she's a bit forgotten now. This album features her PWL hit "Symptoms of true love" and also "Imagine". She was so cute back then when she won Star Search, but she's still a great performer and a nice lady today
An Impressive Debut
My obsession with Tracie Spencer began in 1999 when the single It's All About You {Not About Me} came out and from then on I became one of Tracie's biggest fans. Tracie's self-titled debut{Recorded when she was just 12 years old} is nothing but a album of fun dance tunes and simply cute ballads. Hide and Seek is a very wonderful ballad and was the first single. Track 2 is very New Wave sounding and will get you dancing and was Tracie's biggest single My Heart Beats only 4 U and In My Dreams are two dance and love ballads that are simply cute that could have easily been released as singles on the radio. And of course let's not forget Tracie's rendtion of John Lennon's Imagine. This song should be played on the radio in honor of our world today. And John would be real proud if he heard this version. The Michael Jay {Martika Brenda K. Starr} written tune Cross My Heart is fun and showcases Tracie's rap ablities as she raps for the first time. The other tracks are cute and should appeal to many girls of all ages. Get this album and you will not be disappointed. And for more fun check out Cosby Kid Raven-Symone's 1993 out of print Album Here's to new Dreams if you want to hear a cute voice like Tracie's
Listen and Enjoy,
