“Lover, Beloved: Songs From An Evening With Carson McCullers” To Be Released October 14
One of contemporary music’s most iconic singer/songwriters, Suzanne Vega, will celebrate the remarkable life of another distinguished writer, Carson McCullers, when she releases a new studio album inspired by the novelist entitled “Lover, Beloved: Songs from an Evening with Carson McCullers” on her own Amanuensis Productions on October 14, 2016.
The songs, which she co-wrote with longtime friend and theatrical collaborator Duncan Sheik, richly capture the essence of McCuller’s insightful words and forward-thinking philosophies on gender and love. “I feel that McCullers’ ideas and thoughts are very modern,” Vega says, “and she incarnates them in a way that other authors don’t. She tried to live them and paid a price for it.”
In addition to releasing the new Carson McCullers-inspired album, Vega will also premiere a new production of her play “Lover, Beloved: An Evening With Carson McCullers” in Los Angeles on October 21. Vega will also embark on a US and European tour this fall, performing many of the songs from “Lover, Beloved” as well as fan favorites from her songbook.
You can pre-Order the CD and LP (and limited signed CDs), at SuzanneVega.com and you can pre-order the digital download at iTunes and get the instant grat track “Harper Lee”!
