‘St Vincent’ was released on February 24 and is the fourth album from the Texan musician whose real name is Annie Clark. It includes the tracks ‘Digital Witness’ and ‘Prince Johnny’ – both of which also feature in NME’s Tracks Of The Year list. On its release, NME labelled the album a record “for dancing and for feeling”, celebrating its “boldness” and ability to connect with the listener.
