From September 2004 through April 2005,[2] she composed fourteen tracks spanning from lo-fi guitar-driven to high-gloss produced tracks. Much like her debut album, Exile in Guyville, Somebody’s Miracle was originally modeled after another canonical album, Songs in the Key of Life by Stevie Wonder, though only elements of this exist in the final product.[3] The first single, “Everything to Me” was released to radio on August 1, 2005. Somebody’s Miracle debuted at number 46 on the Billboard 200,[4] and has sold over 83,000 copies in the U.S.[5] (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsAlbum information[edit]Release and promotion[edit]Reception[edit]Track listing[edit]Personnel[edit]Singles[edit]Release history[edit]References[edit]Album information[edit]The album features a somewhat softer side of Phair, with themes of innocence, loss, and love. Many critics and fans accused Phair of having lost her edge. Phair responded to backlash by saying, “If you are an old fan and it doesn’t fit what you need, don’t buy the disc.”[6]Release and promotion[edit]Prior to the album’s release, Phair embarked on an acoustic tour in the summer of 2005 in which she previewed the album’s material. The tour, which had nine stops, commenced on July 26 in Boston, Massachusetts, and concluded on August 19 in San Francisco, California.[7] To further promote the album, Phair headlined a month-long North American tour. The tour commenced on October 6 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and concluded on November 16 in San Diego, California.[8] (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Phair also performed the album’s title track on the Charmed episode “Battle of the Hexes”. She was also the last artist to perform on the show.Reception[edit]The album has a score of 54 out of 100 on Metacritic, indicating “mixed or average reviews”.[9] One critic wrote, “Miracle contains the singer’s most winning melodies to date, not to mention her most confident vocals.”[20] MSNBC wrote that in comparison to her 2003 self-titled album, Somebody’s Miracle was “less blatantly commercial, but still smooth, reflecting her increasing shift toward a clearer sound”.[21]Rolling Stone, however, gave the album just two stars, calling her vocals “thin and dry” and the album as a whole “plain and forgettable”.[16]The A.V. Club wrote that Phair “has grown into the role of an MOR songstress.”[22]This was Liz Phair’s last album for Capitol Records. Her next album, Funstyle, was released on the independent label Rocket Science Records.Track listing[edit]Somebody’s Miracle \u2013 Standard edition[23]TitleWriter(s)Producer(s)1.“Leap of Innocence”Liz PhairJohn Alag\u00eda4:222.“Wind and the Mountain”Phair5:333.“Stars and Planets”PhairAlag\u00eda3:544.“Somebody’s Miracle”PhairAlag\u00eda4:235.“Got My Own Thing”PhairAlag\u00eda4:346.“Count on My Love”Shanks3:417.“Lazy Dreamer”PhairAlag\u00eda4:558.“Everything to Me”Shanks3:199.“Closer to You”Phair3:3710.“Table for One”PhairAlag\u00eda4:1211.“Why I Lie”PhairAlag\u00eda3:2112.“Lost Tonight”PhairAlag\u00eda4:0213.“Everything (Between Us)”PhairAlag\u00eda4:3414.“Giving It All to You”Shanks3:44Total length:58:11Somebody’s Miracle \u2013 Japanese edition (bonus track)[24]TitleWriter(s)15.“Can’t Get Out of What I’m Into”Phair2:51Total length:61:03Personnel[edit]Credits are adapted from the liner notes of Somebody’s Miracle.[23]ProductionLiz Phair \u2013 writerJohn Alag\u00eda \u2013 producer, mixing, additional production, background vocal arrangementBrian Scheuble \u2013 engineering, mixing, recordingJeff Robinette \u2013 assistant engineer, additional engineeringDino Meneghin \u2013 producerJoe Zook \u2013 co-producer, engineering, recordingJohn Shanks \u2013 writer, producer, mixingJeff Rothschild \u2013 recording, mixingLars Fox \u2013 additional engineeringShari Sutcliffe \u2013 contractor\/project coordinatorDavid Campbell \u2013 strings arrangementAllen Sides \u2013 strings recordingJoel Derouin \u2013 concert masterTom Lord-Alge \u2013 mixingTed Jensen \u2013 masteringMary Fagot \u2013 creative directionEric Roinestad \u2013 art direction, designDusan Reljin \u2013 photographyInstrumentsLiz Phair \u2013 vocals, guitar, background vocalsDino Meneghin \u2013 electric guitar, acoustic guitar, lap steel guitar, keyboards, guitar, drum programming, hand percussionAaron Sterling \u2013 drums, percussionOliver Kraus \u2013 celloTim Bradshaw \u2013 keyboardsSean Hurley \u2013 bassJohn Alag\u00eda \u2013 guitar, keyboards, B3 organBill Mohler \u2013 bass, acoustic bassJohn Shanks \u2013 bass, guitar, keyboards, background vocalsJeff Rothschild \u2013 drumsJoe Zook \u2013 tambourineSingles[edit]Chart performance for singles from Somebody’s MiracleYearSingleChartPosition2005“Everything to Me”US Adult Top 40[26]272005“Everything to Me”US Pop 10099Release history[edit]References[edit]^ “Going for Adds”.
