Bearing the stamp of a masterful storyteller who “observes the world with a clinically poetic eye” (The New York Times), Suzanne Vega’s songs are notably succinct and understated. Her work is immediately recognizable—as utterly distinct and thoughtful as it was when her voice was first heard on the radio over 30 years ago.

Suzanne reinterpreted the majority of her catalogue in an intimate and personal manner, creating 4 new thematic albums that were originally released over 2010-2012.

Close-Up, Volume 3, States of Being, has Suzanne revisiting her most haunting songs. Suzanne says, “I used to call these the “Mental Health” songs. They express a state of mind, but also more than that. I wouldn’t call them personal songs but descriptions of a place deep inside. Anyone can feel like the narrator in Penitent, or Cracking, depending on your mood”.
