Vega's second album, which replaced the delicate acoustic textures of her self-titled debut with more dramatic arrangements, includes Vega's career song, \"Luka,\" surely one of the biggest hits ever written about child abuse. But it was the energetic folk-rock production of \"Luka,\" thick with ringing guitars and pushed by perky drums, that let the listener luxuriate in a song that suggested the darkness that can lurk behind a neighbor's door. The title tune confronts personal loneliness with a similarly powerful performance, while \"Ironbound\/Fancy Poultry\" makes a downtown landscape sound downright homey. Well-turned tunes like \"Calypso\" and \"Gypsy\" recall the softer textures of her debut. Ironically, Vega's next big hit would come when the English production duo DNA made a dance hit out of \"Tom's Diner,\" a nursery-rhyme tribute to a coffee shop that opens the album.\n--John Milward\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 750215136246\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0075021513624\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45927947730978,"sku":"15-PT9S-YB80","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/51ZXGZmeAZL.jpg?v=1783568598","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/products\/suzanne-vega-solitude-standing-cd-used","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
