About this episode
Celebrating the 40th anniversary of her self-titled debut album (which was released on May 1st, 1985), Suzanne Vega's latest album is "Flying With Angels," her first collection of all-new songs in over a decade. Emerging from New York City's folk-music scene of the early 1980's, Suzanne has become known worldwide for her detailed songwriting, incredible live performances and for creating memorable characters in her songs like the victim of child abuse in "Luka," the narrator observing her surroundings in "Tom's Diner," and the resident of an apartment being scoffed at by a poster of Marlene Dietrich ("Marlene On The Wall"). Suzanne is back on the road in support of her new album, with dates in the US and internationally all through 2025.
