Album Review: St. Vincent- Daddy's Home

Daddy's Home is the sixth studio full-length album by American artist St. Vincent, it was released on May 14, 2021. Daddy’s Home may lack the more exhilarating, guitar-shredding moments of some of Clark’s earlier work, but it’s possibly her best, most considered modern album to date. Daddy’s Home feels like a complex yet real moment for St. Vincent. Consistently captivating, it gazes into the future but through an authentic homage to the alt-funk and psychedelic soul of the 1970's. The lived-in, sleazy shimmer, fiery Wurlitzer and crescendos, melodies that take up rent in your mind for days on end, lyrics that personally bring us in to reflect and relate it's all a testament to St Vincent's well-realised artistic vision and musical chops.I was immediately intrigued by the crunchy guitars and body image themes that have become a staple of Annie Clark's work. While she has evolved as an artist since her early projects. Annie Clark's voice is often reserved, clipping the ends of notes or gently sliding from one note to the next, but at times she fully releases the power of her voice and belts out an emotional chorus. It's a thrill to encounter this masterpiece and experience an artist at a creative peak, I rate this album 10/10.
