Hands up who had Suzanne Vega dropping a catchy pop-punk belter, sensual soul-infused love song, or early contender for Record Of The Year on their 2025 bingo card? Well, that’s exactly what she’s delivered with her first album of entirely new material in over a decade.
Opening with Speakers’ Corner – a joyful, jangly affair about freedom of speech that delivers a waspish political punch – and the lilting lushness of the title track,you may well be thinking, ‘so far, so Suzanne Vega’.
