Complete List Of St. Vincent Songs From A to Z

Annie Clark, professionally known as St. Vincent, has built one of the most distinctive and genre-blurring careers in contemporary music. Raised in Dallas, Texas, she attended Berklee College of Music before leaving to pursue performance work, touring with her uncle’s jazz group and later joining the Polyphonic Spree. Her academic and practical education helped establish the foundation for a solo career defined by experimental textures, commanding guitar work, precise arrangements, and sharply observed songwriting.

Clark launched her solo career as St. Vincent with Marry Me in 2007. The album earned critical attention for its sophisticated arrangements and lyrical wit, introducing an artist who could draw from chamber pop, jazz, rock, and electronic music without settling into a single category. From the beginning, she showed little interest in conventional pop formulas, favoring unexpected structures, detailed instrumentation, and emotional contradictions.

Her second album, Actor, arrived in 2009 and expanded the scale of her work. Clark built the record around woodwinds, distorted guitars, orchestral colors, and abrupt shifts in dynamics. Songs including “The Strangers,” “Actor Out of Work,” “Marrow,” and “Laughing with a Mouth of Blood” strengthened her reputation as a meticulous composer and producer whose polished surfaces could suddenly open into aggression.

Strange Mercy followed in 2011, pairing heavier guitar sounds with some of Clark’s most emotionally direct writing. “Cruel,” “Cheerleader,” “Surgeon,” and the title track expanded her audience while preserving the tension and unpredictability that had distinguished her earlier records.

In 2012, St. Vincent collaborated with David Byrne on Love This Giant, a 12-song album dominated by brass arrangements, rhythmic interplay, and alternating lead vocals. The project included “Who,” “Weekend in the Dust,” “I Should Watch TV,” “The Forest Awakes,” and “Outside of Space & Time.” The partnership continued through an international tour and the 2013 Brass Tactics EP.

Her self-titled 2014 album brought wider recognition. St. Vincent won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album and included “Digital Witness,” “Birth in Reverse,” “Prince Johnny,” and “Rattlesnake.” The record joined dystopian imagery, clipped funk rhythms, distorted guitar, and carefully controlled visual presentation without sacrificing the strangeness at the center of her work.

St. Vincent released Masseduction in 2017, exploring fame, power, addiction, desire, and emotional collapse through vivid pop production and an intentionally heightened visual world. “Los Ageless,” “New York,” “Pills,” and the title track became central songs in her catalog. The album later earned Grammy Awards for Best Rock Song and Best Recording Package, while the stripped-down 2018 companion album MassEducation presented the material through voice and piano.

The 2021 album Daddy’s Home drew from early-1970s New York soul, funk, rock, and studio production. Clark introduced another visual and musical persona while writing about family history, reinvention, and the complicated relationship between performance and private life. “Pay Your Way in Pain,” “The Melting of the Sun,” “Down,” and “Live in the Dream” helped the album win the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album.

Outside her principal studio albums, St. Vincent has worked across film, production, and collaboration. She directed a segment of the 2017 horror anthology XX, co-wrote and starred with Carrie Brownstein in The Nowhere Inn, produced Sleater-Kinney’s The Center Won’t Hold, and contributed to recordings by artists including Taylor Swift, Beck, and Paul McCartney.

In 2024, St. Vincent released All Born Screaming, the first album she produced entirely herself. The record included “Broken Man,” “Flea,” “Big Time Nothing,” “Sweetest Fruit,” and the title track. At the 2025 Grammy Awards, she won Best Alternative Music Album for All Born Screaming, Best Alternative Music Performance for “Flea,” and Best Rock Song for “Broken Man,” bringing her career total to six Grammy Awards.

Later in 2024, Clark released Todos Nacen Gritando, a Spanish-language re-recording of all 10 songs from All Born Screaming. She worked with Alan Del Rio Ortiz to translate and adapt the lyrics, recording new Spanish vocals over the original musical foundation. The album included “Hombre Roto,” “Pulga,” “El Mero Cero,” “Tiempos Violentos,” and “Todos Nacen Gritando.”

St. Vincent continued expanding the catalog in 2025 with “DOA,” released for the film Death of a Unicorn, and a new version of “Tiempos Violentos” featuring Mon Laferte. Her 2025 BBC Proms performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall paired her songs with a 60-piece orchestra. The concert was released digitally and as the 2026 live album Live in London!.

Clark’s work is distinguished not only by its music but by the degree of control she maintains over arrangements, production, videos, album imagery, guitar design, and stage presentation. Her Ernie Ball Music Man signature guitar challenged traditional assumptions about instrument design while becoming a widely used professional model.

St. Vincent has also used her visibility to challenge outdated ideas about gender and technical musicianship. Her career has helped place an inventive female guitarist, songwriter, producer, and bandleader at the center of modern rock while demonstrating that experimental work and broad recognition do not have to be opposing goals.

Whether bending genres, building abrasive guitar tones, composing orchestral passages, or changing her visual identity from one project to the next, St. Vincent has made reinvention a central part of her work. Each album introduces a different frame, but the precision, curiosity, tension, and unmistakable guitar voice remain consistent throughout her catalog.
