Nine Objects of Desire is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega, released on September 10, 1996, through A&M Records. As with her previous album 99.9F°, it was produced by her then-husband Mitchell Froom. The recording sessions took place at The Magic Shop in New York City. Much like its predecessor, Nine Objects of Desire integrates experimental instrumentation and arrangements into Vega's signature sound. Elements of jazz are present on tracks such as "Caramel" and "Tombstone". High-profile contributors to the album include Tchad Blake on guitar, Jerry Marotta on drums, and members of Elvis Costello's backing band the Attractions. Nine Objects of Desire peaked at number 92 in the US, continuing a downward trend in Vega's album sales throughout the 1990s. However, it received positive reviews from critics, many of whom praised the songwriting and production. It spawned a UK top 40 hit in "No Cheap Thrill".
