St. Vincent – All Born Screaming

St. Vincent’s latest album, All Born Screaming, arrived in April 2024 as her seventh studio effort. This self-produced collection marks a continuation of her creative momentum following the acclaimed Daddy’s Home. Musically, the album blends genres like art rock, progressive rock, and industrial rock, showcasing St. Vincent’s adventurous spirit.

The title itself carries a powerful duality. According to St. Vincent, the album acknowledges the inherent protest of being born into the world, but also celebrates the cry of a newborn as a sign of life. Lyrically, the album explores themes of experience and growth, suggesting that the title “All Born Screaming” represents the totality of human existence, from the initial outburst of life to all that follows. Collaborations with other artists add further dimension to the record, making All Born Screaming a rich and multifaceted exploration of what it means to be alive.
