So her fifth album is streaming on The Guardian's website. Here it is. First impressions, it's more St. Vincent. Pretty killer album, though, feels grittier. Grittier St. Vincent is weird but I think I LIKE IT. I'm going to do a full write-up when it physically releases February 25th but give this thing a listen.
Okay, yeah. This album is so absolutely great. You know what made Love This Giant so good? It had some dirty-ass bass and horns, which every artist can benefit from. This album made it apparent that Annie realized that you can put that dirty, sexy kind of beat in your music and just make an album that sounds really awesome. Prince Johnny is like her older stuff, but slicker. Birth in Reverse is a hot suburban jam that I'm really down with. Oh yeah, and BRING ME YA LOVES ALL YA LOVES YA LOVES will never get out of my head. And her new hair is pretty cool
