Album Notes

TRACY FORSYTH, 'Heavy Metal Lena Horne', in her debut CD, brings to the world of folk/rock dynamic control of her operatically trained soprano voice. Combine these attributes with her spiritual and new thought lyrics and the talent on this CD flies in the face of strict genre categories.
Although Tracy did not highlight her very capable higher operatic sounds in this adult contemporary release in 2005 the brilliance still very much stuns listeners, both those who have and those who have not heard this artist before. Her influences are Heart, Queensryche, Scorpions and the music on her current CD has tones of Kate Bush, Tori Amos & musical theatre. Taking care of ourselves and doing the best we can is the premise on what the CD songs represent.
Tracy's 11 songs were chosen from the more than 100 that she has written over the years. This CD was an exceptional coming together of talent. It has been called 'gospel' but Tracy prefers to call it 'positive'. The CD package includes an 8-page colourful booklet of lyrics, photos and liner notes. The package was completed by Tracy and JON Hemingway (music & artist-extraordinaire! - producer, keyboardist, back vocalist.... the man did a superb job with this CD!).
Since the CD release in 2005 Tracy has enjoyed a 1/2 page newspaper article written about her & her CD in the Peace Arch News (first CD ever to have that large an article in the newspaper), has appeared on a KISM radio interview, enjoyed radio airplay around the world, performed in a musical theatrical production, joined two Classic Rock bands & recorded songs for videos. She continues to explore new avenues of music....E-mail: tracymusic@telus.net
