Her obsession with heroines like Marlene Dietrich and James Dean are explored here for the first time, a theme that is to re-occur throughout the course of the Album. " We play that we are Actors

Advantages: An incredibly talented musician and lyricist Disadvantages: May be too deep for some listeners
Suzanne Vega, I think everyone who is interested in female rock or folk music should have heard this ladies name somewhere and if not, then you should have.
Suzanne was one of the first folk singers to step out of the clubs and make it big as a recording artist and is now known all over the world—singers like Sheryl Crow, Tori Amos etc have a lot to thank this women for as she helped pave the way for singers like this to also become massive recording ... ...guitar accompanies her music
Suzanne was born on July 11, 1959 in Santa Monica, California she was brought up by her mother and half Puerto step-father Rican in a hispanic neighbourhood in a house that she herself describes as a very creative home where singing was an influential part of her upbringing.

Advantages: Great lyricist, this is her best album Disadvantages: Not the best singer ever

This is evident in her first album, which includes songs like "Knight Moves ": "Watch while the queen, in one false move / Turns herself into a pawn / Sleepy and shaken, and watching while the blurry night / Turns into a very clear dawn" and "The Queen and the Soldier", which is almost more like a story than a song. In these two songs, Vega explores the differences between the sexes, and ... ...is the best introduction to Suzanne Vega's music there is. Actually, I don't think anything else, out of the many albums she has done since, comes close. It is also one of the few highlights of the nineteen-eighties, which is still worth listening to and does not sound at all dated. "Suzanne Vega" can easily be found at a discount price as it is such an early album; as such it is an absolute bargain.
Very highly recommended. ...

Advantages: Good music Disadvantages: It's a shame that she doesn't recorded now
I heart only Suzzane Vega's, the album specially the track " Luka" where she described a girl who's name is Luka with a "lyric that says "My name is Luka, I live at the second floor, I live upstairs from ...". I remember it because it was a good song with good lyrics, about the others song that I don't remember so much have the same topic of the lyrics that for me ia one of the better in English language because her song has a soft ritmic. Now it ...

...Moves" and the beautifully abstract "Small Blue Thing". Behind the soft music and Suzanne's softer voice lies lyrics which are often moving and thought provoking. Suzanne Vega is an important artist who has had an influence on many others like Tori Amos and is one who should not be overlooked. ...
