St. Vincent has had a transformative year in 2024, marked by the release of two standout albums. In April, the acclaimed artist dropped her self-produced seventh studio album, All Born Screaming. Later in November, she followed up with a Spanish-language version of the same project, titled Todos Nacen Gritando. This version serves not as a replacement but as a companion, offering fans in Spain and Latin America a fresh perspective on the material. Of all her work spanning from 2007’s debut, this release feels the most cohesive and driven by a singular vision.
On a recent episode of Broken Records podcast, St. Vincent sat down with Justin Richmond at Amazon Music’s Studio 126 to discuss the challenges of producing All Born Screaming. She revealed the hurdles she faced while bringing the album to life, offering insight into the intricate process behind its creation. As she continues touring the album well into the next year, including dates with Olivia Rodrigo and Nick Cave, St. Vincent also shared her reflections on how she developed her impeccable taste, a trait she credits to her upbringing in the Midwest before the advent of the internet.
The conversation illuminated the depth of her artistic journey, offering a glimpse into what makes her music both distinctive and deeply personal.
