Suzanne Vega has released an animated lyric video for her single ‘Chambermaid', taken from her new album ‘Flying With Angels‘.
The video is directed by artist/animator Michael Arthur. You can watch the animated video below:
Speaking about ‘Chambermaid', Vega explains, “In my adaptation of Bob Dylan’s ‘I Want You', I imagine what the character of the Chambermaid would say about her own aspirations, and her relationship with the great man himself.”
‘Flying With Angels' is Vegas' first full-length album of all-new music in over a decade. The collection is produced by her longtime collaborator and guitarist Gerry Leonard (David Bowie, Rufus Wainwright, Laurie Anderson, Duncan Sheik).
“Each song on the album takes place in an atmosphere of struggle,” notes Vega. “Struggle to survive, to speak, to dominate, to win, to escape, to help someone else, or just live.”
In celebration of the album, Vega will tour throughout Europe and North America, performing an evening of career-spanning songs as well as showcasing material from the new album. Her extensive UK run takes in London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall, and stops in Gateshead, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cambridge, Brighton, Bristol, Birmingham and Stoke. Vega and Leonard will be joined on stage by cellist Stephanie Winters. Vega’s special guest on the UK dates is critically acclaimed UK singer-songwriter, Katherine Priddy. See below for full details.
