I have her first two albums, release in the late 1980s. I hadn't listened to them in a very long time, partly because even though they are beautiful and poignant they are, frankly, really depressing.
Her performance of "Talkin' bout a revolution" on Seth Meyer's show was stark (just Chapman with an acoustic guitar) and powerful. He voice has lost nothing in the 30 odd years since she recorded the album.
I found myself deeply deeply moved this morning listening to her after so long, like being reunited with an old friend; and, tragically, the song is as relevant today as it was 30 years ago.
