Suzanne Vega Unveils New Album ‘Flying With Angels’ and Engaging Single ‘Speakers’ Corner’

Get ready for Suzanne Vega's long-awaited album, ‘Flying With Angels’, featuring the insightful single ‘Speakers’ Corner’.

A Decade in the Making

After more than ten years, the iconic Suzanne Vega is back with her first album titled ‘Flying With Angels’. The excitement is palpable as she shares the details on her social media platforms, announcing that the album is set for release on May 2. Fans can already pre-order it, which adds to the anticipation.

“Flying With Angels is my first studio album of new songs in eleven years,” Vega expresses, shedding light on the album's themes. “Each song on the album takes place in an atmosphere of struggle. Struggle to survive, to speak, to dominate, to win, to escape, to help someone else, or just live.”

New Single: ‘Speakers’ Corner’

Vega has also released a new single from the album called ‘Speakers’ Corner’. This gripping track touches on contemporary issues of expression and the complexities of being heard in today’s digital world. It's a poignant reminder that while social media gives everyone a voice, it can sometimes distort the truth.

In her own words, Vega elaborates on the message of the song: “That’s something you don’t want in democracy: the shutting down of the Speakers’ Corner where people get a say. This is a moment in time when people are saying a lot, but sometimes they’re not making sense or not telling the truth. People should be accountable for what they say. They can’t just lie. One would think that that would be self-evident.”
