ST. VINCENT
Her Upcoming Album + Best Videos
Rockstar and queer icon, St. Vincent (aka Annie Clark), is a shapeshifter. Every new album brings new characters to life. Don’t you dare call her a chameleon. She never blends in.
On Saturday, April 3, St. Vincent burned down the SNL stage. Both of her performances were fire. The first single, “Pay Your Way in Pain,” from Daddy’s Home, drops May 14. She also introduced the television audience to her new daddy character. Dressed head to toe in a Gucci leisure suit, she clarifies that SHE is the man. For those slow on the uptake, she ended her performance by turning her back to the audience showing “Daddy” stitched into her jacket.
The second was the psychedelically mournful “Melting of the Sun.” Daddy was seemingly gone, replaced by a smokey-eyed after-after-party diva. This song, she told Rolling Stone, is a love letter to brilliant female artists who push against adversity. Ensconced in a giant faux fur shawl, she lounged in platforms, evening dress, and pearls. In her lap, she cradled her guitar, which she pet like a cat. That is until she stood up to shred.
To mark this televised destruction of Studio 8H, here are her five hottest videos:
