Suzanne Vega February 25, 2010

Widely regarded as one of the most brilliant songwriters of her generation, Suzanne Vega emerged as a leading figure of the folk-music revival of the early 1980s. Vega is an artist that continues to surprise. Bearing the stamp of a masterful storyteller who "observed the world with a clinically poetic eye," Vega’s songs have always tended to focus on city life, ordinary people and real world subjects.

Notably succinct and understated, often cerebral but also streetwise, Vega’s lyrics invite multiple interpretations. In short, her work is immediately recognizable as utterly distinct and thoughtful, and as creative and musical now as it was when her voice was first heard on the radio over 20 years ago.
