About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

While known as a crack Nashville songwriter, Beth Nielson Chapman works inside the pop realm on You Hold the Key, her second effort for Reprise. But pop for Chapman isn't all easy-to-digest nuggets. A talented songwriter, she moves in fluid motion between hearty pop, heart-tugging piano balladry, and burnished adult contemporary groove. She flirts with smoky piano jazz on the coy "Dance With Me Slow," imbues the first-person, fibrous title track with uplifting grace, and sells the smooth Paul Carrack duet "In the Time It Takes" with precision. But she's just as comfortable with the brassy, Bonnie Raitt-style blues-rock of "You Say You Will" or the quietly surging "Faithful Heart," where violins, harp, pipes, and a reverent choir of voices combine with her own fervent vocal for a truly moving experience. It's all in a day's work for Chapman, a wonderful performer who elevates the few scant weak moments of You Hold the Key with pure talent. Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide

May 16, 2004: This cd is beautiful from start to finish. From the opening, upbeat tempo of "I Don't Know" to the beautifully fluidity of "Faithful Heart", this cd is chock-full of talent. My favorite is track #4(?) "Say It To Me Now". The lyrics are heartrendingly passionate, and express a feeling that most people are unable or unwilling to give voice to. This is true of several other of the songs on this album. Check out "Rage on Rage", about an abusive relationship. Beth's voice is sweet or sultry or simple depending on the feelings she is conveying, and she accompanies herself on the piano on several tracks.
