Suzanne Vega (born July 11, 1959) is an American songwriter and singer. Vega's eponymous debut album was released in 1985 and was well received by critics. The songs are straightforward and oppose the "bigger is better" ethos of the mid-1980s. They are not typical protest songs, but are introspective, in the manner of the singer-songwriters of the 1970s, such as Leonard Cohen.
Her sophomore effort, Solitude Standing (1987), contained two successful singles: "Tom's Diner" and "Luka". "Luka" is written about and from the point of view of a battered child—at the time an uncommon subject for a pop hit.
