A Washington Post reporter insisted that Black queer artist Tracy Chapman would have “almost zero chance' at the achievement Luke Combs had with her song.
success with his cover of Tracy Chapman’s"Fast Cover" is marred by the"complicated" conversation over race, a Washington Post article claimed on Thursday.
Black Opry co-director Tanner Davenport also argued that Combs’ success"kind of just proves that when you put a White face on Black art, it seems to be consumed a lot easier." "This is incoherent. Tracy Chapman's not a country artist. So of course she's not going to place on the country charts. And as everyone has pointed out, Chapman's original did great on the pop and mainstream charts. Which is a lot better than doing well on the country charts," conservative writer Varad Mehta tweeted.
