The album is pretty good though I wish she would have added more ballads with which to showcase her beautiful voice. Standout tracks include: "It's All About You (Not About Me)", "Still In My Heart", "No Matter" and "Unbelievable". Worth the addition to anyone's musical collection.

Tracie Spencer was one of the most favorite female R&B artist of the early ninties. I never cared for her previous albums but I love this album. Too bad the album got little promotion just like Tevin Campbell and Shanice's albums that were released that same year. Tracie hooked up with producers "Soulshock & Karlin" which I think she was dating one of them at the time. It's rare that you find a album where you could listen to every song. This album is very nice and I would recommend buying it.

having not produced an album for some eight years, tracie spencer is in a unique position. while she bears the burden of generating the renewed interested of established fans who may have forgotten about her, she also has the advantage of a completely new audience which is, at most, only peripherally aware of her career is a child prodigy, allowing her to a) recreate herself however she may wish and b) sing sexually-provocative lyrics without making people uncomfortable. while the album, _tracie_, is a solid effort with seamless production and suitable vocals, it does not, in fact, completely demonstrate spencer's considerable vocal talents. and though spencer's vocals give listeners a taste of really good pop/hip-hop music, the hyper-synchopated nature of today's hip-hop doesn't fully allow spencer to flex her vocal muscle. the closet the album gets to exhibiting the majesty of songs like "tender kisses" and "imagine" is "no matter", with its freewheeling improvosations and memphis flavor. spencer also deserves mad props for featuring a female rapper (sonja blade on "feelin' you"), rather than opting for the usual naz-timberland-mase selection.

I like her new cd. It's filled with modern songs and hot beats. Its actually not that bad. Its definetly a hot pick for younger listener's. If you love R&B this is the cd for you. I think this cd is going to open ears to new audiences people who never heard of Tracie before.To the fans of the lovely Tracie Spencer:This is not Tracie back then this is Tracie now! She's got a fresh new sound. "Its all about you(Not about me)" is a jammin' track I think many of us both men and women can relate to it. I was actually shocked that some people were disappointed with this album. I really dont think its disappointing, its just different and she still sounds good, but I do agree that we all love her voice and we'd like to hear more of it. This album does not focus on her natural vocal talents but it has phat beats! It would have been nice if there were some tracks that stressed her voice but other than that it gets me groovin'.This is a good cd to listen to when you just wanna kick'it. We heard this sound before but its cool since its coming from Tracie she puts her own personal stamp on it. This cd is definetly a plus. It'll go well with the rest of my collection of nice beats.

I loved Tracie Spencer's '99 album. She just dominates on every song here. I went, is this the same girl from Iowa that amazed us in 1990-1991 with multiple hits with This House, Love Me and others from her second album? And Soulshock and Karlin gave her a good sound for this album. I still love It's all About You. This album was very timely to come out right after Soulshock and Karlin's big hit with Whitney Houston, Kelly Price and Faith Evans, Heartbreak Hotel. That techno-driven R&B sound that they're known for continues on this album too. Spencer still sounds good vocally for this one. I like the fact that she's still in music, even singing on a song on rapper 50 Cent's successful 2003 album. This album proves that you can take time off after having teen star fame and still return on top form later in your 20s. Excellent comeback for her!

This is a great album! I absolutely love it! Tracie can really sing! I wasn't that crazy about the album at first, I had to grow into it a bit. Every song on here is awesome. My personal favorites are: "Nothin' Broken But My Heart," "Not Gonna Cry," "Feelin' You," and "Still In My Heart." These are all beautifully written songs and beautifully sung by Tracie herself. This album sure doesn't disappoint. She is a great singer. I strongly recommend you get this now if you don't already own it.

This cd is great! With songs like It's All About YOu (Not About Me), Feelin' You, and Still In My Heart, this album is just GREAT. Tracie songs are good for teens to listen to because they are very relatable. Her songs also have good beats, good rythm, and awesome relatable lyrics. If you like good R&B and need some romance help just listen to one of Tracie's songs and I guarentee you'll feel 80% better. Hey, if you can't trust me, who can you trust?

THIS IS A REALLY GREAT CD. THE BEST SONGS ARE HER TWO SINGLES "ALL ABOUT YOU (NOT ABOUT ME)" AND "STILL IN MY HEART" BUT I ALSO LIKE #5 TOO. SHE'S GOT A REALLY GOOD VOICE. IT ONLY FALLS SHORT OF 5 STARS BECAUSE SOME OF THE SONGS SOUND THE SAME BUT I WOULD DEFINETELY RECOMMEND IT TO R&B FANS!

I remember this album when I was 12. I love this CD. It's hot. The album is filled with jeep-styled jams and heartfelt ballads. This is her coming-of-age album. This album showcases her musical skills in a truly contemporary setting. This album should have been promoted more. Remember,this was 1999.

Tracie Spencer has it all: the voice, the production, the songs. This album contains "IT's all about you" which was sung by Mya too. Tracie surely has grown from the talented teen star into a great souldiva.
