Suzanne Vega - Close Up Vol 2 (2010)

Date: 1 Nov 2010 01:37:47

The studio album release by New York-based singer/songwriter Suzanne Vega with re-recordings of songs from Vega's back catalogue with stripped-down arrangements that highlight her lyrics and melodies. The track "The Man Who Played God" was included in its original version on the album Dark Night of the Soul by Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse. Enjoy.

The second installment of Suzanne Vega's four-part thematically arranged intimate re-recordings of her catalog is People & Places, a concept that allows for the inclusion of her two biggest hits, "Luka" and "Tom's Diner." Both are here, given austere arrangements that are emblematic of the entirety of the album. Much of this is spare enough to suggest that the album contains nothing but Vega and her guitar, but these are not solo re-recordings – they're tastefully colored with strings, electric guitars, and light percussion, subtly changing the feel of some songs but not the intent. Apart from selections from the densely produced 99.9 Fø, there are no great reinterpretations of Vega's work and even those three don't feel drastically different, just unadorned, fitting the "Close-Up" concept quite well. Curiously, the entire Close-Up project sidesteps nostalgia, and not just because Vega finds space to include a new song, "The Man Who Played God," co-written with the late Mark Linkous and Danger Mouse, here. She may be revisiting her past but she's not attempting to re-create it, and this clear-eyed, unsentimental attitude goes a long way toward making these records work.
