Half Notes: Suzanne Vega – Beauty And Crime (2007)

Share this:

Most people seemed to tune out of Vega’s music after “Luka” and/or the various remixes of “Tom’s Diner” had their way with the airwaves, relegating her to that sad status as fluke hit-maker. Luckily for discerning listeners she paid them no attention and carried on creating strong albums that provoked and questioned what women in pop/folk could and should do. After a six year break in the early 2000s, she returned with her first release on Blue Note — an album that, if you were still listening, ended up being one of her best.

‘Half Notes’ are quick-take thoughts on music from Something Else! Reviews, presented whenever the mood strikes us.
