Fragments of Freedom is Morcheeba's third album. It was released in 2000. The album proved to have been one of their most successful albums in terms of chart sales however critical reception was not as welcoming as with other Morcheeba albums. Mostly due to the drastic change in sound. As Morcheeba did away with much of their roots which was their trip-hop sound and in return developed a pop sound.
Previous entries in Ace's Black America Sings series have focused on Bob Dylan and the Beatles, but also Otis Redding – a singer/songwriter who shows up on Bring It on Home: Black America Sings Sam Cooke singing "Shake," a song that became more identified with Otis than Sam. This alone suggests how great Cooke's legacy is: he wove his way into the very fabric of pop culture, quite clearly influencing generations of soul and rock singers, but also shaping how R&B could cross over into pop, along with the parameters of how black musicians could set up their own independent enterprises in the music business.
