[451] I am friend to the undertow, I take you in, I don't let go
Long day. Good, though. Warm outside, and I've got cinema running through my veins. Spicy ramen and lucha libre around two a.m., I'm thinking. Regroup in the morning.
Wikipedia Sez: Suzanne Vega is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega, released on May 1, 1985 by A&M Records. The album was primarily recorded at Celestial Sound in New York City and was produced by Steve Addabbo and Lenny Kaye. The album's folk-style and stripped-back arrangements deviated from the prevailing trends of the time, and helped to usher in a new era of singer-songwriters. Suzanne Vega was a critical success and helped Vega's rise to popularity. The album surpassed sales expectations by selling over 200,000 copies in the US and was certified platinum in the UK for sales of over 300,000 copies.
Genre: Pop/Rock, Folk
Styles: Adult Alternative Pop/Rock, Alternative Folk, Alternative/Indie Rock, College Rock, Contemporary Folk
Release Date: May 1st, 1985
Prior Familiarity: Looooooow.
What I Did While Listening: Just kinda puttered around. Clipped my fingernails, because I'm in the middle of a vicious cycle where I don't paint them in a timely enough fashion every week so they start breaking and I can't grow them out properly through sheer lack of upkeep, ugh.
Verdict: It sounds like every single female singer/songwriter album from the '90s, so she was clearly extremely ahead of the curve with this shit. Chill and cool with some good character playlist potentials and only 35 minutes long, you love to see it!!! That's like a seventh of a Brutalist!
Favourite Song: Marlene on the Wall
Leshia's Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
