'Extra' Raw! on Tour with St. Vincent
"Extra" Music Correspondent Adam Weissler caught up backstage with Annie Clark aka St. Vincent, at a recent show, talking with music's new "It" girl about her album "Strange Mercy" -- and how she prepares for a concert.
Watch the interview!
St. Vincent's acclaimed 2007 debut album, "Marry Me," was created almost entirely on a laptop, while the exquisite follow-up, the 2009 "Actor," is a collection of arrangements fashioned into ornately structured songs. "Strange Mercy," said Clark, is different. "I just wrote the songs first and didn't worry about the embellishments. On the last album, I could play about three songs by myself on guitar. On this album, I can play every song that way."
