Entrancing songstress ST. VINCENT (born Anne Clarke, 41 years ago in Oklahoma) has her 7th LP, called All Born Screaming out on April 26.
Clarke: “If you’re born screaming, that’s a great sign. Because it means you’re
breathing. You’re alive. My god. It’s joyous. And then it’s also a protest. We’re all
born in protest in a certain way. It’s terrifying to be alive, it’s ecstatic to be alive.
It’s everything.”
A couple of weeks ago we could dance to the disco doozie named Broken Man.
On the second taster, titled FLEA, foo fighter Dave Grohl hits the drums.
Oklahoma born songstress ST. VINCENT (real name: Anne Erin Clark) will
share her 7th album, titled All Born Screaming, with the world on April 26.
Talking to Mojo Vincent said: “I needed to go deeper in finding my own sonic vocabulary.
I like to think of [the record] as post-plague pop, it’s a lot about heaven and hell – the metaphorical kinds. Which is appropriate, because sitting alone in a studio for that many
hours I would say is a version of hell.”
First single BROKEN MAN is a blistering Prince groover.
Sexy and sassy. A badass stonker.
Alluring singer-songwriter ST. VINCENT did a weeklong residency on American
TV show The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Last Friday she covered Fleetwood
Mac‘s 24 Carat gold hitDREAMS (more than 1 billion streams on Spotify) from
their 1977 juggernaut LP Rumours.
St. Vincent was joined by the house band STAY HUMAN .
The Latin jazzy-soul rendition was quite notable.
The soundtrack of the film features big stars, covering 60s and 70s hits,
such as Tame Impala & Diana Ross, Phoebe Bridges, Bleachers and H.E.R.
Also part of the party is ST. VINCENT who picked 1980 disco hit FUNKYTOWN written by producer Steven Greenberg and turned
into a global blockbuster by three whirling Minneapolis ladies known
as LIPPS INC. (a pun on the term ‘lip sync’)
Shake it, St. Vincent…
My vote goes to the original. It’s fully elated and irresistibly catching and
the video clip that promoted the mega prizewinner with the dancing queens’
glorious body moves back then (from a 1980 TV show) is fantastic.
You can/could find Bristol punk gunslingersIdles everywhere this past year.
On tribute albums, on covers albums, on collaborative tracks (like the one with Tom Morello) and of course on their own 4th LP Crawler. Same story for lady of
the night St. Vincent.
So I think they met somewhere in between while being busy
for others and decided to have some fun together too.
She’s already back now with this new song, part of the soundtrack
of the rockumentary of the same name, featuring herself and Carrie
Brownstein from Sleater-Kinney. It will be available as a video on demand
from this Saturday on.
Kamikaze guitars à la Link Wray and Dick Dale, Ramones sniffin’ glue again, and devilish Lux Interior howls. Yes, it’s psycho-surf-billy time, folks. Get your leather jacket out of the closet and pretend you’re a member of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. This is the first single off their upcoming EP ‘Machine in the Monkey’.
Press play right here…
. ‘Sad But True’ (Metallica song) by ST. VINCENT (Tulsa, US)
Metallica sounding sexy, sultry, and snappy? Like the late great funk genius Prince? Yes, it happens right here, thanks to disco queen St. Vincent.
Louisiana Swamp Blues sultriness from… The Netherlands. No frontiers when it comes
to stirring up the steam, turning up the heat, and pumping up the decibels. This red-hot ripper is about “brotherhood and supporting your friends and family during hard times.”
All together now…
‘Ladylike (Don’t Hold Her Back)’ by CUBS REFRAIN (Toronto, CA)
Band member Erin Roblin reflects on her experiences with society’s expectations of her as a woman, including the fight for control of her own choices in her life and career. It’s 2021 and women still have to suffer from external pressure. Incredible. Therefore, encouraging earworms like these are always welcome for everybody – regardless the gender – who struggles with being pushed for the wrong reasons by the wrong people. Ladylike is a frisky and sprightly humanlike booster. Get up, stand up and fight for your right to be who you are.
Brazilian singer/songwriter Henrique Neves is the man behind The Daily Spreadsheets.
Riff-roaring rock ‘n’ roll streams through his sonic veins for years now. On Glide he lets The Beach Boys sound like if they were a speed-up garage band. Good vibrations indeed.
