Blogovision 2021, no.10: St. Vincent - Daddy's Home

 

Go get your own shit 

get off of my tit 

go face your demons 

check into treatment 

go flee the country 

go blame your daddy

just get far away from me

Lyrics from Down by St. Vincent

From her album Daddy's Home

Blogovision 2017, no.04: St. Vincent - Masseduction

Black saint, sinner lady

Playin' knockoff soul

A punk rock romantic

Slumped on the kitchen floor

Nuns in stress position

Smokin' Marlboros

Lolita is weeping

The bride is beautiful

Masseduction

Masseduction

I can't turn off what turns me on

Masseduction

I can't turn off what turns me on

Masseduction

I hold you like a weapon

Mass destruction

I don't turn off what turns me on

...Oh, what a bore to be so adored

Lyrics from Masseduction by St. Vincent, from her album Masseduction

Top-20 countdown - no.20

St. Vincent - Strange Mercy

One would think, upon a quick first listen, that St. Vincent, or Annie Erin Clark, had gone commercial. No fear for that though. Although this is the most coherent, well-produced and defined of her albums up to now, she definitely remains the quirky, unpredictable, charismatic artist we loved with Actor - and still do. Like that very good friend that you have not seen for oh so long, but you only need to look at each other to make sure that it's all OK.
