Resumen del Editor

"A great song is a magic trick, it’s a slight of hand, it’s supposed to look effortless."

On rare occasion, a fascinating artist will endeavor to peel back the curtain and truly reveal themselves: Their craft, their thoughts, their pain, their humanity. But it is even more rare that the artist actually possesses the range of gifts to pull it off. St. Vincent is such an artist. And St. Vincent: Words plus Music is such an experience. Armed to the teeth with words, wisdom, grit, and wit to spare, St. Vincent’s new addition to Audible’s Words plus Music is a deeply personal meditation on an artist’s discovery of their authentic self-tracked through the lyrics and influences of her Grammy-winning catalog of music.

Heralding the first in a series of upcoming collaborations between Audible and entertainment company Gunpowder and Sky, St. Vincent: Words plus Music continues to raise the bar on its existing blueprint - blending storytelling, music, and performance to create a one-of-a-kind listening experience.

In a relatively short span of time, Annie Clark, the sublime singer, songwriter, guitarist, and performer known professionally as St. Vincent, has established herself as a uniquely profound talent, an iconic new voice in today’s music landscape. And after just 90 minutes in total running time, listeners can arrive at only one of two inevitable positions: Either confirm what they already knew - St. Vincent is an exquisite artist and storyteller - or marvel, with some embarrassment, at how they’ve inadvertently managed to miss out on this sensational artist since at least 2007.

Featuring nine newly-recorded versions of catalog hits curated from among her five albums including stunning versions of "New York", "Marry Me", "Strange Mercy", "Digital Witness", and "Mass Seduction", St. Vincent effectively creates a series of gorgeous musical "trail markers" through which she and listeners can understand (spiritually and otherwise) the course of her journey - as a woman and artist. In between these songs, in vivid detail, St. Vincent fills in the rest - offering unflinching honesty, delightfully dark humor, and more subtle Catholic imagery and metaphor than she knows what to do with.

Whether she’s deconstructing the juxtaposing "grandeur and squalor" of being a working artist, singing about the manic seduction of today’s endless stimulation ("I can't turn off what turns me on"), or explaining the visceral jolt of no longer being on the road in one fell swoop ("Come down from tour is like a werewolf receding"), there are few artists today - young or old - with St. Vincent’s searing command of self and unique power to express it.

Talent like this must be heard.

About the Creator and Performer

Annie Clark made her recorded debut as St. Vincent in 2007 with Marry Me, and has since become one of the most innovative and enigmatic presences in modern music.
Each of St. Vincent’s four subsequent albums has met with critical acclaim and commercial success eclipsing that of its predecessor. These albums would include Actor (2009), Strange Mercy (2011), and her self-titled fourth album and winner of the 2014 Grammy for Best Alternative Album, making her only the second female artist ever to win in that category. In addition to these solo works, St. Vincent joined with David Byrne to record and release the collaborative album Love This Giant in 2012, and performed with Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear of Nirvana at the band’s 2014 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, playing the season finale of Saturday Night Live that same year.
In 2017, working with co-producer Jack Antonoff, St. Vincent created a defining statement with MASSEDUCTION. As ambitious as it was accessible, the album broke St. Vincent into the US and UK top 10s while landing at #1 on the Best of 2017 lists of Jon Pareles of The New York Times and The Guardian—and placing high in the year-end rankings of The AV Club, Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, Mashable, The New York Daily News, the NME, Noisey, Paste, Pitchfork, Q, Stereogum, USA Today, and more.

Featured Article: Turn Up the Volume—These Are the Best Listens for Music Fans


There’s nothing quite like the electricity that flows through the crowd at a concert: from the moment the lights come up on stage to the amazing sense of communal energy, it’s an experience unlike any other. So it's been a painful few months for fans, musicians, and venues as the pandemic upended album releases, festivals, concert tours, and other events. These listens offer a much-needed dose of the rhythm, artistry, and melodies you might be missing.

Terrific retrospective for a fan

I loved hearing this personal retrospective and listening to the selected songs. I saw the St Vincent concerts from every stage of Annie’s career and had a better understanding of where she was coming from when she recorded and performed those songs.

What is going on with the reviews?

Basically everyone is complaining about the audio book being centered in Annie Clark.

I mean what is wrong with that people, the topic is literally St. Vincent, it is all over the cover art, title and publisher's summary, I just saw a comment saying that everything is not about her, which is true, but, this audio book is all about her. I mean who expect this to be about God? I mean if you like religion don't expect everything to be about it. About the audio book, is short and perfect to get started with Audible, it shows Annie's problems, insecurity... as well it shows her wins and what made her feel proud with herself. Yeah, if you are expecting this audio book to be about something that is not St. Vincent... read better, get help and don't listen to it.

Extraordinarily Fresh

As intuited, this is a fantastic piece, with a very interesting, articulate and melodious nature; a work of art, in its musicality, nuanced and beautifully prosodic spoken word, and diction. Annie’s story is fascinating! She is fresh, in her act, persona, and alter-ego; the avatar she embodies and through which she delivers a profound and relevant message about the world, life, the self, the inner world she has not shied away from but exteriorizes in a daring and unapologetically fresh way, which can acquire a different meaning when it relates to her life as a New Yorker.

Insight into the Artistic Process

This was an interesting listen for anyone interested in the creative/artistic process. I will listen to St. Vincent differently in the future.

Hope Audible makes more of these!

This made me fall in love with an artist with which I was only vaguely familiar prior to listening...so cool to have the music paired with some insider info - told direct from the artist!
