In the early 2010s, at the age of 50, Suzanne Vega decided to look back on her prosperous career by revisiting her greatest hits in an acoustic style. She and her record company wanted to incorporate as many songs as possible, so they decided to release four albums under the following themes: Songs of Family; Peoples, Places & Things; States of Being; and Love Songs. This throwback was followed by a world tour in which the Californian singer was accompanied by just one guitarist. This present album could easily be described as a ‘best of a best of’. The acoustic vibe is a natural fit for Suzanne Vega's intimate, hushed style, whose often folk-inspired songs delicately describe the small moments in life. Her hit ‘Tom's Diner’ is notably absent, though fans will be pleased to rediscover ‘Luka’, the other hit from her 1987 album Solitude Standing (1987). While some tracks remain faithful to their original versions (‘Freeze Tag’, ‘Song of Sand’), others stray far, acquiring a new sense of depth after undergoing their acoustic transformation (‘Wooden Horse’, ‘Anniversary’). Suzanne Vega has never been so close to her audience, and these intimate songs highlight her love of folk music and contemporary poetry. ©Nicolas Magenham/Qobuz
