Digital Witness

Since music is one of the things I like the most, I would like to write about St. Vincent, musician and singer-songwriter I listen to very often, especially now, after the release of her last, self-titled album.

If I had to decide what I like the most about her, it would be professionalism and great preparation for each concert, the incredible voice that always sounds good, even at live performances, an unusual talent to compose music or, finally, her new look including very curly hair dyed pale blue.

She was born in 1982 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She got interested in music very early and started playing guitar as an adolescent. At that time her uncle who is guitarist impacted her a lot, even if he admitted not having encouraged her to play very much. Her early career included playing in the Polyphonic Spree and also in Sufjan Steven’s touring band, but it was not enough to her. That is why she decided later to make music on her own.


Her music style is not easy to describe and it still changes (which is probably the case of the majority of artists today). However, it may be described now as a mixture of indie rock, chamber pop and cabaret jazz (that is what wikipedia says). She has released five albums. The one I like the most is Strange Mercy, but this time I want to present you a song from the newest one. It is energetic and ingeniously composed:

  1. I've got to admit, she is something different. If Marie Antoinette had a descendant who was a XXI-century model, I guess it would have to be her ;)
