SUZANNE VEGA - CLOSE UP VOLUME 3:STATES OF BEING (180G IMPORT LP)

Suzanne Vega Close Up Volume 3: States Of Being on 180g Import LP

Suzanne Vega was one of the pioneers of the female singer/songwriter movement that domineered the late-'80s and early-'90s. Her unexpected self-titled hit album Suzanne Vega from 1985, with well-loved song "Marlene On The Wall" topped the charts and won her the admiration of critics and fans alike.

In 2010, Suzanne Vega started a new project; for both commercial control and artistic reasons she decided to re-record all her favorite songs in intimate, acoustic settings. Resulting in Close Up: Volume 1 Love Songs and Close Up: Volume 2 People & Places. The new arrangements called for a new order in her catalog and Vega grouped her songs thematically.
 
This third installment, Close Up Volume 3: States Of Being, is a collection of her most haunting songs. Vega used to call them her 'Mental Health' songs, as she explains: "They are descriptions of a place deep inside. Anyone can feel like the narrator in Penitent, or Cracking, depending on your mood."
