Froom's ubiquitous synthesizers and samples step aside on several songs to make way for tastefully orchestrated horns and strings. The semi-industrial pop of 99.9 F gives way to a more eclectic compositional bent. \"Caramel\" is a smooth, jazzy ballad that bears a strange kinship to an Astrud Gilberto bossa nova. \"Lolita\" boasts a lilting samba feel mediated by electronic percussion.\u003cbr\u003eThis being a Suzanne Vega album, there are also a few introspective acoustic-guitar based plaints. In fact, these (particularly the subtle, eerie narrative \"Honeymoon Suite\") are among the most memorable of NINE OBJECTS' 13 songs. Elsewhere, colorful, lighthearted arrangements offset dark subject matter, as on \"Thin Man\" and \"Tombstone,\" both contemplations of mortality. NINE OBJECTS OF DESIRE finds Vega pushing the envelope slightly, while maintaining the quality songcraft that her listeners have come to expect.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50555886305567,"sku":"731454058322","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/b5b2287cdcfd835d897b7f3020e29a07_a418cfc3-55af-4770-ac29-dbd78dc03bef.jpg?v=1777969469","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/nine-objects-of-desire","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
