  • Summary: Singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega fills her sixth studio album with 13 new compositions. Former producer (and former husband) Mitchell Froom is gone, replaced by Rupert Hine, who creates an overall sound that is more like Vega's earliest recordings than her Froom-produced output during the 1990s.

    Her calm, hushed, clear singing only emphasizes the emotional torment the songs trace. The result is an album on a par with her best work.

    Could well be her finest yet. [Oct 2001, p.128]

    Saw her live in concert, and met her. She is amazing. It is too bad that people tire of good artists like her, Cyndi Lauper and Joan Osborne. American Radio is soooo fickle! I'm tired of hearing scantily clad women with no talent (or talent, but crappy materiel.) Would love to hear some talented seasoned songwriters like Suzanne getting some air time! This album is melodic, thought provoking and beautiful!… Expand
