| Description: |
"Caramel" is a song by American singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega, which was released in 1996 as the lead single from her fifth studio album Nine Objects of Desire and featured in the American romantic comedy film The Truth About Cats & Dogs.
"Caramel" was influenced by the Bossa nova music of the 1960s, which Vega grew up listening to. In a 1997 interview for Power Music Network, Vega said, "'Caramel' was intended to be one of those old fashioned songs, like "The Girl from Ipanema," or what Astrud Gilberto would sing. I used to really love that kind of music when I was a teenager." Until "Caramel", Vega had consciously avoided writing in such a style because "I didn't want the music to be corny" and "I came up in the '80s during the new wave when rhythms were all so English-influenced."
I learned this song last month.
Thanks for listening. |
