Suzanne Vega Unveils New Album 'Flying With Angels' Featuring Exclusive Formats
Suzanne Vega is set to release her highly anticipated album, Flying With Angels, on May 2, 2025. This marks her first collection of entirely new songs in eleven years, following the 2014 release of Tales from the Realm of the Queen of Pentacles. The album promises a deep exploration of various struggles, as Vega describes each track as taking place "in an atmosphere of struggle," whether it be to survive, speak, dominate, or simply live.
Flying With Angels features a standout track, "Rats," which was previously released as a standalone single along with nine other new songs. The album's tracklist includes:
- Speakers’ Corner
- Flying with Angels
- Witch
- Chambermaid
- Love Thief
- Lucinda
- Last Train From Mariupol
- Alley
- Rats
- Galway
Fans will have multiple format options to experience the new release. A smart 2CD casebound book edition will include six demos and 36 pages of exclusive content, available signed through Suzanne Vega’s official shop. Additionally, an exclusive red smoke vinyl edition is offered, alongside a standard single CD version. For collectors, signed and numbered vinyl test pressings are limited to 50 copies, priced at £50, while bundle options combine the 2CD set with the red smoke vinyl LP.
Produced by Vega’s longtime collaborator Gerry Leonard, Flying With Angels maintains the artist’s signature sound while incorporating fresh elements that resonate with contemporary listeners. The meticulous production ensures that each track delivers both emotional depth and technical excellence, appealing to audiophiles seeking both lyrical and sonic richness.
In conjunction with the album release, Suzanne Vega will embark on a North American and European tour, performing both new material and beloved classics. The tour will showcase the new tracks in immersive live settings, allowing fans to engage with the latest chapter of Vega’s illustrious career. The upcoming tour dates include major venues such as Royal Albert Hall in London and the Isarphilharmonie in Munich, promising a memorable experience for audiences worldwide.
Flying With Angels will be available through Cooking Vinyl, with various editions catering to different preferences and collections. This release not only adds a significant milestone to Suzanne Vega’s discography but also reinforces her enduring presence in the singer-songwriter landscape.
