It feels very biased to say this as a fan and perhaps it’s a little silly to say because it’s subjective but St Vincent is definitely in the conversation of best artist of the last 20 years and I think she belongs in the conversation with all of the greats in history like Prince , Bowie, Bjork, Kate Bush etc Every album has been great , memorable and distinct from her previous work. Very excited to listen to the full album tonight, Daddy’s Home I think was her best album and the best of 2021 probably so expectations are high af.
SV is an underrated artist but imo not in the same category as the greats. I only have really liked Masseduction since it went in a much more experimental direction. Loved her album w/David Byrne too. I listened to the new album & while good it doesn't live up to my favorite song on it 'Broken Man'. Hoping the rest of the album grows on me.
@@augusts1 idk it’s subjective so it’s hard for me to come with arguments if you simply aren’t into her music that much but all I can say is if you haven’t yet try giving her albums more time. I think a lot of her music benefits from repeat listens. Honestly it took me until her self titled album to fully get into her music before that I liked a handful of full of songs. I think she’s every bit as creative and talented as anyone else of the last 50 years of music her style just may not be for everybody.
One of the most intriguing and interesting artists of our times. What a privilege to be an audience to her artistic evolution. This album is the most experimental and enjoyable one she's put out since self-titled. Can't get enough of it.
I've been a fan of St Vincent since ~2011 or so. Got very into her first 3 albums and then the collab with David Byrne when that came out. I've always appreciated that each of her albums has a unique identity. There are some common elements and through lines but they all feel different in some way and you can tell that she's always growing as an artist, which is awesome. Sometimes this meant that my taste didn't exactly align with her but that's ok. All of that said, this album is the first one in a while where I feel totally in sync again. This album is flawless, I loved every single track. Can't wait to listen more.
This album is absolutely remarkable, harrowing and powerful, she knocked it out of the park. Probably my favorite album of hers period, followed by her self titled album. 👏 🏆
I am so into this amazing artist. I discovered her as a super guitar player, and then I heard the eponymous album, and from there she has been a constant presence in my sonic landscape (and when I saw her live, front row, I thought I wanted to buy her signature guitar, but I'm lefty! PLEASE MAKE A LEFTY MODEL OF THAT!)
This was SUCH a great interview! It helps that Zane is very good at this _and_ Annie is talented _as an interview subject._ She's such a smart creative interesting person...I could listen to her talk about art and creativity forever. My favorite thing about her is how deeply obsessed with MUSIC she is. That's not super common, oddly enough. How many popular artists will talk for 5 minutes about the yearning emotional timbre of a major 7th chord? Not many. I like both Annie and Matty Healy, in part, because they actually love music...making art with sound. All the other stuff...the thematic elements, the aesthetics, the lyrics, etc...is super interesting too, and she can speak to that very well. But I just love how _fluent_ she is when talking about actual music...chords, notes, melodies, rhythms, timbres, cadences, motifs, etc. I also love how she hasn't lost her edge, her passion, her curiosity...and is still making relevant music that matters in the culture. She's 41. Most 41 year olds lose touch with the ineffable joy of creating art. I'm 41 myself....and it's refreshing to have someone like Annie as an example for how it can be done. It's not inevitable that you get old and resign yourself to some legacy tour and endless greatest hits albums. You can still make important art....but ONLY if you refuse to extinguish your inner light.
I love how you talk about “code switch.” I had never heard this term before but I have described my experiences of growing up gay as being myself one minute and then realizing I needed to pretend to be someone else, like walking out on the stage. My life felt like a performance I hadn’t prepared for. 😂 It was awful, but you helped me see it in a different way, as a survival mechanism. Thank you so much for that. ❤❤❤
Boy, this Zane Lowe really likes to listen to himself talking. Was he interviewing or just using her story as an excuse to share his own experiences? (and in the end I just skipped and skipped, he asks questions, she starts to answer and he takes over)
With humility “Let’s start where it started from” cool quote. Geez all the machines? The Beatles Apple Studio 4 track. Like when laugh tracks came out! Buy vinyl, not remastered and basic turntable ( my choice ).
I love hearing st Vincent talk about anything, her geniusness is interweaved into everything and it’s so enjoyable to see and hear
She and Fiona Apple are cut from the same massively creative cloth.
Luckily she doesn't wait as long to release something 😄
Fiona apple is a genius but like you have to wait 10 years or something for an album 😂😂😂 but when it does it's a masterpiece ❤
Let her complete a sentence, Zane.
Quite irritating indeed, the man loves his own stories

Oblique strategies! Harnessing chaos. Man she is it
loved that Brian Eno reference
BRAZIL LOVES YOU ST VINCENT, COME AGAIN, SO EXCITED FOR THE ALBUM 🇧🇷🇧🇷❤️❤️
What an album.

When you interview someone, you must know how to listen.

She seems very smart and articulate
zane is really one of the best interviewers working today. thoughtful and interested in actual conversation
this is an amazing interview, a new favorite
This interview gave me life, My soul and heart feel renewed ❤ can't wait to listen to it
LOVING this interview! 💥❤
That was an amazing interview!
St. Vi really inspires and intrigues w/ her notes here so this interview is bomb!
Glorious.
Now that was an interview! ROCK and/or ROLL!
Me encanta cuando las entrevistas tratan sobre la música!

LOVE YOU ANNIE
we love post-industrial dance music!
eric's knowledge of songs for the deaf is considered hidden wisdom now.
Such an intelligent look at the creative process. Annie killed it on the new album
I love how you talk about “code switch.” I had never heard this term before but I have described my experiences of growing up gay as being myself one minute and then realizing I needed to pretend to be someone else, like walking out on the stage.

are you white? is that why you’ve never heard this?
you must be white
Brilliant songwriter. New material is fantastic
I love Zane Lowe so much, and I love St. Vincent so much. This record is great.
Make entire songs list of world in hi res audio.
Zane Lowe. Always. The hands bring everything. Brings life to all the interviews.
this woman is always leaving me speechless
So Americaaaaaan
Tell me the name of these microphones, please😢😢😢
Omg she’s paying tribute to the people who set themselves on fire
35:53
"...fun for the whole family!!..."...oh my goodness, hahahaha!
at first I thought that she got collab with Future by title lol
I love St Vincent ... in particular her first album and the last 3 ... but sorry you can definitely start a fire without a spark.
zane, the Larry David refrence is gettysburg address, not declaration of independence.
"..songs are rorschach tests for the listener.."
It’s like, you know she’s gotta be around 40 (about her actual age) but she could also so easily be, like, 26.
I’m kind of in awe of her aura and artistry rn
The way he keeps interrupting..
Boy, this Zane Lowe really likes to listen to himself talking. Was he interviewing or just using her story as an excuse to share his own experiences?
(and in the end I just skipped and skipped, he asks questions, she starts to answer and he takes over)
Lets Promote Russ the Artist Plz
Zane is just really good at what he does.
He isn't
@@shmoolicious expound
100% of the time when someone talks about art is cuz that person have not idea what art is.
Bring the Nowhere Inn to Criterion!!!!!!!
She just did Criterion closet. Maybe it’s in the works.
It's an interview not a cross examination!
Embarrassing to see an interviewer hijack the conversation with thier own opinions.
Let the artist speak!!!
With humility “Let’s start where it started from” cool quote. Geez all the machines? The Beatles Apple Studio 4 track. Like when laugh tracks came out! Buy vinyl, not remastered and basic turntable ( my choice ).
Zane needs to understand the interview isn’t with him it’s with the guest…..fuck me
So many interruptions
St. Vincent is great, Zane Lowe is unbearable.
he a bit condescending, isn't he
she's got that wendy williams thyroid stare on her
"micro dose" .. she's such a freakin hipster. 😂
what an annoying interview, I cannot think of a more self centered person asking self serving questions
