The ambitious, two-disc Prism celebrates a plethora of faiths from around the world. Recorded over a 10-year span, the album was largely inspired by Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s concept of a common humanity. The first set features both original and traditional songs in English, and Disc Two—on which Chapman sings and chants and in an astonishing nine languages, including Farsi, Welsh, and Hebrew—s by turns somberly pretty and drivingly hypnotic.
