Songs in Red and Gray (A&M). Review by Julio Diaz.
SUZANNE VEGA SONGS IN RED AND GRAY A&M Suzanne Vega is a national treasure, and one that's been sorely missed in the five years since her last effort, 1996's Nine Objects of Desire. As ever, Ms. Vega is a consumate storyteller, and Songs in Red and Gray finds Ms. Vega using her deceptively simple melodies ...

Lots of artists like to go into the studio to play with all the high-tech toys, but Self went in to record their new album on actual toys! Matt Mahaffey reveals the secrets of Gizmodgery to Bryan Tilford.
... with those sly constrictor melodies, and that classic sound-of-Self such as "Wide Awake At 7" and "Hey Deceiver," plus meaty remakes of "Dizzy" and Suzanne Vega's "Fat Man & Dancing Girl." And that doesn't include the BWG companion Brunch, three songs apparently too genius for their mother disc. Self ...

... with Froom and a couple of Los Lobos in the Latin Playboys), Dopamine also showcases the talents of Soul Coughing's M. Doughty, Lisa Germano, Suzanne Vega (Froom's wife), Mark Eitzel, Sheryl Crow, the Attractions' Bruce and Pete Thomas, and several more. The result is an interesting blend of Froom's ...

... . Ale House and the Japanese folk singer, Rika Shinohara. Shinohara has fine-tuned the Lilith Fair sound and turned it Japanese. Bits of Sheryl Crow, Suzanne Vega, and of course, Joni Mitchell run through her songs. She sings both in Japanese and English. She sounds more confident in Japanese, but her ...

December 1997 :: Music G-K :: Lauren Hoffman (Hal Horowitz)
... Megiddo Virgin Just to prove that not every nineteen year old wants to be another angry Alanis, here's one that yearns to be another self-reflective Suzanne Vega. It's a less commercially viable role model, but it makes for better music. Charlottesville, Virginia's Lauren Hoffman has a knack for a sophisticated ...

Steve Stav finds himself tongue-tied when he engages his favorite chanteuse-next-door in a revealing Q&A.
... pretty much set me in good stead for the rest of my life. Some people have a sort of... great sound and unique quality to their voices -- I like Suzanne Vega, she's got a lovely "sound;" it's not that strong, but it's very sort of... not passionate, but emotive. She makes her statement, she delivers ...

May 2000 :: Ink Spots :: The Dismemberment Plan (Andrew Chadwick)
... 'll see." Finally, I wondered how much of Morrison's lyrical content is autobiographical. Intriguingly, he answers with an improvised vignette: "Suzanne Vega: 'Leonard, what do you think of confessional songwriting?' Leonard Cohen: 'You do whatever you must to make the song work. Lie, tell the truth ...

The Golden State (Columbia). Review by Bettie Lou Vegas.
... attention closely or miss the depth and amazing detail of the shadows and light. Her music is organic in a way reminiscent of Michelle Shocked or Suzanne Vega; her pure voice is a satin ribbon, threading through each track and weaving one song into the next, creating a rich tapestry with the accompanying ...

June 1999 :: Music F-I :: Meg Hentges (Phil Bailey)
... kicks out hard-edged songs that fall uncomfortably into the netherworld between rock and folk. She shares the field with women like Ani DiFranco and Suzanne Vega, but has created her own voice. Hentges' songs are potent, personal messages, without becoming whiny or manipulative. Hentges' songwriting ...

Yeah Yeah Yeahs EP (Shifty / Touch And Go). Review by Kurt Channing.
... " starts like a sparse B-52's tune, but then flip flops between Napalm Death-like blasts of screaming and an angular vocal bit that reminds me of Suzanne Vega's"'Tom's Diner." The opening "Bang" has a superfunk riff to counterpoint Karen O's vitriol -- "you ain't no baby no more... Baby." Ouch. Following ...
