St. Vincent, LIVE IN LONDON! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
St. Vincent is back with a live album. Somehow I had no idea this was coming out, so this was a nice surprise.
This was recorded with the Jules Buckley Orchestra backing her, and holy jeez is it great. I mean, St. Vincent has always written these huge, epic sounding songs. So to hear them with a full orchestra backing? It just makes them even more powerful sounding.
The orchestral arrangements are beautifully and skillfully done, too. Sometimes they are more faithful to the source material, and other times they deviate wildly. For example, “Los Ageless” has gone from a very energetic pop groove to a very stripped and slowed down contemplative take on it. And St. Vincent’s voice is top notch.
Every song works here. There’s no misses. This is an absolutely stunning piece of work.
Favorite song: “Marrow”
