Matters of the Heart is the third album by American singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman, released in 1992 (see 1992 in music). It was her first not to be produced or co-produced by David Kershenbaum.
All songs written by Tracy Chapman.
The record marked a notable switch in sound from Chapman's earlier works. Allmusic labeled it as "less bold and angry" than her preceding record, and Israbox took note of the "subtle elements of world music, blues, and jazz" included in the record.
Matters of the Heart received generally mixed reviews from music critics.
