The bass is filled with midi goodness and the orchestral piano really sets the love of who St Vincent is talking too. I find this song very interesting because it kind of sounds like “ Pay Me No Mind – Jeff Beck Remix” off Jeff Beck’s album “Jeff” in parts of the song. St Vincent surely does have a futuristic pop sound that is very rare. Lyrically, the lyrics are a bit cheesy and related to pop music, but the instrumentation is experimental and fun. It’s filled with extra terrestrial vibes and makes you feel like you’re floating in space. “You and me aren’t meant for this world”… but where are they meant to be? Hang On Me is full of unusual emotions of wondering where you’re supposed to be. I do definitely see that, but I would say she’s more like the female David Byrne. Back to business, “ Masseduction” is emotional and full of fear. I find it very interesting when I hear an artist using a stage name, purely because it seems like they have two sides, maybe even an alter ego? (Hint hint Hannah Montana). The electro-pop goddess that is St Vincent gets called the female David Bowie. She has been using a stage name since 2006 and everybody now knows her for this. It’s personal and takes a big step into Annie Clark’s life. Her fifth studio album “Masseduction” is now a very important album in St Vincent’s discography. Multi instrumentalist St Vincent is back.
