Over the past few years, I've become a fan of Annie Clark's music (aka St. Vincent). I think she has a strong voice with a tinge of quirkiness that makes her stand out. Also, she appears to be an excellent musician and a good composer.
To me, she's a musical artist. Not just a singer.
I subscribe to her news letters, which come out once every few months. She's on tour performing work from her second album, Actor.
One of my favorite songs come from her first album, Mary Me.
Her newsletter had a link to WBEZMusic. She's featured on their page doing a live rendition of her song Actor Out of Work. Now that I've done a lot of reading on emotions and human nature, I like this song even more. I suppose that would make sense because I've come to respect acting far more than I once did. Executing a believable portrayal of emotion to an audience takes skill.
Singing a neat song that also carries philosophical undertones about the phenomena of acting takes skill, too.
Anyway, I just thought I'd embed the video of her street performance her. You don't have to like her music. But I like it, regardless.
