This self-titled little album is Suzanne's first, and probably best, piece of work. The tracks are gentle and simple, sometimes happy and sometimes sad, with a fairly consistent style and quality. The highlights here are "The Queen And The Soldier", "Knight 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.
