Sinopse
Catching up with Suzanne Vega backstage at Bourbon and Beyond, Kyle Meredith dove into the timeless artist's latest ventures, including her new single “Rats.” Listen now.“Rats" is a gritty homage to New York City's darker corners, inspired by punk mainstays like The Ramones and newer post-punk outfit Fontaines D.C. The timing couldn’t be better: the song dropped alongside the first-ever National Rat Summit in NYC, giving Vega’s track a fitting place among the urban grit it romanticizes.The real news? Vega’s first album since 2016 is set for spring, coincidentally (or not) landing on the 40th anniversary of her iconic self-titled debut. Vega hints that this new record veers between genres; expect everything from folk rock to a Motown-inspired track, and even a song with a California ‘70s vibe. For fans, it’s a return to the kind of thematic storytelling that’s always marked her work, with fresh twists on familiar urban motifs. “Life gets in the way,” she laughs, referring to her longer album hiatus
