St. Vincent : Todos Nacen Gritando

St. Vincent’s ‘Todos Nacen Gritando’ is equal parts labour of love and tribute to the fans who inspired its creation. The three-time GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter/guitarist cites a handful of her most memorable live experiences, including shows in Mexico, South America and in particular a 2023 appearance at Primavera Barcelona. Though separated by time and geography, and across a diverse range of settings and venues, these crowds were united in their passion-singing every word to every song in perfect English. Inspired by their collective effort and intensity, St. Vincent would find herself pondering, ‘If they can sing along in a second or third language, why can’t I meet them halfway?’ She then enlisted best friend and occasional collaborator Alan Del Rio Ortiz to work on translating All Born Screaming’s lyrics, tweaking here and there for melodic reasons, and ultimately recording new vocals en Espanol for every one of the album’s 10 tracks.
