St. Vincent is gearing up to release her new album All Born Screaming and is giving fans a taste of what to expect with its fiery lead single "Broken Man." The singer-songwriter born Annie Clark spoke to iHeartRadio exclusively about the new song, which features Dave Grohl on drums.
“I produced it myself this time, and the genesis of it was me messing around with electricity and circuitry like a god in my studio until I found that loop [vocalizes beat] and I was like ‘ooh that’s interesting,’ so I wrote a whole song around it," Clark explained. "The song sort of starts with a slow burn and ends fully on fire, and it features Mr. Dave Grohl on drums. It’s a ripper! Ripperama.”
As for All Born Screaming, Clark had this to say: “‘Broken Man’ is from my new record called All Born Screaming that comes out in April, and it’s I think one of the more violent tracks on the record, but the record itself I think kind of goes, ‘we’ve got a little bit of a season in hell but we end up going love is the only thing worth living for,’ and the record ends with an ecstatic mantra, so we see a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel."
All Born Screaming is the follow-up to 2021's The Nowhere Inn and is slated for an April 26 release. Listen to "Broken Man" below.
