Suzanne Vega-"Solitude Standing" (1987)

Following in the footsteps of great singer-songwriters like Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon and even Carole King, Suzanne Vega demonstrated with her first album released in 1985 that the generation of singers of the 80s were at the same height with a simple, captivating style and with lyrics that couldn't be ignored.
For her second album published in 1987 "Solitude Standing" she composed the tremendous success "Luka", a song that contains an irresistible, assimilable and unforgettable chorus.
In this outstanding song Suzanne sings in the first person a story of domestic violence that cannot be ignored by the listener, a song that first likes and then causes pain, and all this with an astonishing naturalness.
However, it is not the only song that stands out from this magnificent album, "Tom's Dinner" is an a cappella song that leaves its mark, making the singer make the difficult easy, precisely in a decade where the normal was the opposite.
"Solitude Standing" is one of those jewels of "signature pop" of the last decade that stands out for being full of feelings and sincerity very alien to the pomposity of pop that in those years reigned in the world of pop and rock.
