Solitude Standing

Solitude Standing is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega, released on April 1, 1987, by A&M Records. It is the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed album of Vega's career, being certified Platinum in the U.S. and reaching number 11 on the Billboard 200.

In Rolling Stone, David Browne said that the mixture of older and newer compositions on Solitude Standing resulted in an album "shakier and less focused" than Vega's eponymous debut studio album, but also one that "unwittingly shows where Vega has been and where she's going", concluding that with her "growth as a singer and writer", she "has managed to beat the sophomore jinx while giving the singer-songwriter a good name once again."
