New Music: Chambermaid

           

The iconical singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega has shared today a new song that's all about existing in someone else's shadow. On "Chambermaid," she sings about tending to a "great man": "I revere the places he has stayed and clean crumbs from his typewriter." It's all about inspiration and maybe also insignificance — the ways that it can be hard to separate those two feelings. The new single comes from Vega's upcoming LP Flying With Angels, her first album of original material in eleven years.
