Suzanne Vega

Suzanne Vega is back in full force on this cinematic tribute to the lives and loves that have made New York City the intrigue capitol of the world. Get down and dirty with "Frank and Ava," go uptown with "Edith Wharton's Figurine" or head underground with "Unbound." Beauty and Crime is an apt title for this collection, as Vega's songs are so cool and elegant that you may not notice the kinky side-glances and the barely suppressed heartbreak that are at their core.
