Flying With Angels, the first full-length album of all new music in over a decade from Suzanne Vega — widely regarded as one of the foremost songwriters of her generation or any other — is out now on Cooking Vinyl.
In support of the new album, Suzanne Vega performs live at the Lincoln Theatre on Tuesday, June 10! You can win a pair of tickets to go with Parklife DC! Winners also receive a signed Suzanne Vega vinyl record.
“Each song on the album takes place in an atmosphere of struggle,” Vega said. “Struggle to survive, to speak, to dominate, to win, to escape, to help someone else, or just live.”
Vega previously shared the singles “Speakers’ Corner,” acknowledging the increasingly political nature of communication today, when the ability to speak one’s mind is easier than ever on social media, and yet that privilege is often misused; and “Rats,” of which Paste raves, “There’s a little bit of everything from each sonic era that Vega has witnessed…it feels like a quirky soundtrack to the end of the world, as Vega leads her prancing pack of beloved animals up and down the sidewalks of 6th Avenue.”
