The music isn't bad. But her voice is flat and if she has any range to her singing, she never shows it. She is the inspiration for every lame-ass coffee shop singer that I've heard since 1990. No thanks. One star solely for the music and for not having to listen to "Luka".
i have no time for this. well done for giving folk a 90s twist, but its still folk sang with a largely uninteresting voice.
Glorified slam poetry
The fiddle in one of the closing tracks was the nail in the coffin for me
What's with the multiple fonts on the cover? What's with the echoey, poor vocal production? What's with the terrible beat poetry spoken over random guitar? Best review I saw: Enya meets Bobo Dylan. I'd only add "in a Soho coffee house." I will admit it got more cohesive toward the end. This is one star.
Personally not for me, a bit slow for my liking.
nope
Nah
This is the worst open mic night one could possibly attend.
80’er Singer/songwriter, kedeligt
I was listening to Suzanne Vega and I fell asleep. Did I miss anything? No. Ms. Vega’s vocal style is a mix of spoken word and singing, and it doesn’t work for me. It’s like she knows she doesn’t sing that well, but still tries to make her spoken word sound singing-ish. And how is there only one Suzanne Vega album on this list and it’s not the one with Tom’s Diner? WTF?
nope. this is not my cup of tea. sounds so dated.
good but not my thing
No thank you
Wrist cutting music, yikes
Didn't enjoy! Not my style, sorry Suzanne Vega!
You know how dream pop type music tends to have some of the best vocalists? Cocteau Twins, The Cranberries, etc. I guess it's unique to approach that sound but be horrible to listen to. If I wanted to hear William Shatner's start-stop delivery of words over music, I could just listen to the songs he made. Most is so dull it bounces right off my ears. When it strays away into straight folky pop it's sickeningly cheesy. That last song at least slightly stands out from the rest, but its bass is bordering on unironically being Seinfeld music. And that album art screams "Graphic design is my passion." Struggled to finish, worst thing yet.
sang toms diner
No.
Honestly was bored af the whole time. Lyrics are kind of cheesy like what I imagine reading a monologue in a check-out isle romance novel is like, but that would probably be more entertaining. The album had stopped playing at some point and I was like, cool, it's over, but turns out I had only listened to FOUR SONGS and Spotify had just died for some reason.
I didn't know any of her stuff beyond Luka and the doo doo do doo song, so was curious. Disappointed. Feels like middling 80s stuff. Julianna Hatfield without hooks?
Meh.
Nope.
Zzzzzz. Kill me.
