Nine Objects of Desire is the fifth studio album by American musician Suzanne Vega, released on September 10, 1996, through A&M Records.

[7] Much like its predecessor, Nine Objects of Desire integrates experimental instrumentation and arrangements into Vega's signature sound.

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.

Driven by what Vega described as "sensual" rhythms, the album incorporates elements of bossa nova and alternative rock.
