"Marry Me"
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz4 Under the shining of the world, it will lead the creation of things. When St. Vincent first appeared, people compared her with Kate Bush and David Bowie, as well as Sufjan Stevens (Sufjan Stevens). ) (St. Vincent was a member of his touring band at the time) expressed his appreciation. This is a good partner!Why it is excellent: For Saint Vincent's next avant-garde rock , this album is a delicious first try. Talent emerges from "Marry Me", and Clark's music puts the chaos in order. She entered the circle as a real individual, making herself unique from the beginning.
"Actor" (2009)
Characters:
Inspired by the big screen, Saint Vincent explores a low-key but dramatic reality behind the second album. Yuan, right?). Clark incorporated a Disney-like voice into the album, using dark lyrics such as "Save Me From What I Want" and "Actor Out Of Work" to weaken her sweet melody.
Why it is excellent: This is where Saint Vincent really enters the drama-this subtle transformation allowed her to get an A in rock music . Basically, this is the soundtrack of the best movie ever made by Tim Burton (Tim Burton), showing that St. Vincent can cover a wide range of areas - and does it well.
"Strange Mercy" (2011)
Characters: 90s trash
St. Vincent went to Seattle to create an album of capricious pilgrimage, which solidified the artist’s pilgrimage in this city. For example, "Northern Lights" amplifies her harsh guitar performance.
And "Champagne Year", a scarred ballad, cuts off her existential problem of pursuing her mission: "I make a living by telling people what they want to hear. It's not lethal but Enough to clear the trap.". The explosion of self-deprecating rock sparked by the moody weather in Seattle—who reminds you of?
zWhy 41z says it is outstanding: The combination of Saint Vincent's skillful guitar and painful lyrics makes her farther and closer to the audience. Becoming more individual while maintaining this distance makes her work more open, giving it a second life in the minds of the audience.
"Love This Giant" (2012)
Characters : American Gothic granddaughter
You might expect to work with art rock star David St. Vincent's team (David St. Vincent) The quirky tendency to deviate from the epicenter, but the result is a less experimental, more earthy sound. For this collision of ideas, they called a brass band to play their unique melody.
Why is it excellent: The cover of the album has been digitally processed, and their faces look like the third-generation version of the American Gothic couple in the famous 1930 painting by Grant Wood, with distorted facial features , But still dressed traditionally, and the background is not clear.
combines traditional song models and clear modern production to give "Love This Giant" an advantage, and shows that as a musician, Saint Vincent can cooperate. She has produced an album that is different from any of her previous albums-but it fits all of her works perfectly.
"St. Vincent" (2014)
Characters: The recent religious leader
is a miniature album of her self-expression. There is a religious aesthetic here—robes, pendants, tousled hair—reciting strange hymns and beckoning others to join her rock offerings and playing music for her altar.
Since her debut album "Jesus Saves, I Spend" was released, religion has always been an aspect of Saint Vincent's work. That album ridiculed the concept of organized religion by appreciating the idea of a religious believer.
Why it is excellent: As the high priest, Saint Vincent always injects unorthodox elements into her music, while maintaining the approachability and richness of the work. In this case, the role of this cult leader is a channel to expose the weird daily emotions around us.
In the electronic pop impromptu "Bad Believer", Clark disagrees: "What do you know? I am a bad believer", making fun of the belief systems that dominate our lives-religion or other.
"Temptation (Masseduction)" (2017)
Characters: Dystopian sadomasochism
is not only a kind of cleverly expressed revenge in the strategy of musical revenge. It enhances the sense of reality. From the crazy and reckless "Pills" to the neon-like satire "Los Ageless" all captured the aggressive nature of the public's eyes. This is something that St. Vincent knew very well after dating models met paparazzi.
The musician needs the courage to turn the media’s ill-intentioned look-but isn’t it the kind of fearlessness we expect to see from Saint Vincent?
Why it is excellent: Saint Vincent's bold energy makes her sadistic role untouchable and intense. This kind of fierceness is the thread that runs through her work-and titles like "Dad is Back" are also our feelings for thisThe incredible artist is looking forward to the upcoming sixth album.
