I don’t wanna be a cheerleader for this song. It’s not good.

The live versions were good but the entire show was too stilted and leaned a tad too far into performance art. It was off-putting to some and I totally get that.The Argonaut wrote:I'm listening to the MASSEDUCTION album now. Not sure why I have this impression in my head that it's not very good. This thing kicks ass. Maybe I just wasn't very into the videos I watched of her performances for this album and that is what stuck in my head. The album itself is killer
I thought it was fascinating and I enjoyed it while I was in the room but coming off of the S/T tour it did feel cold and overly deliberate. A great one off experience but no real blood and I never found myself craving those versions. I never got in YouTube and spent hours watching those live versions like I did for the previous records.
The album versions have so much more heft and metabolism. Maybe in a vacuum that's hard to hear but in comparison to the live show It's more apparent. It's such a strong record.

I think on this track in particular the Bowie comparison is more in the video and visual aesthetic. Though I do hear Bowie in the chorus (as you pointed out) and in the intro, which really evokes Kooks from Hunky Dory.digster wrote:I may be more behind on how pop is adorned and arranged, because I'm not really hearing much comparison to most popular songs I'm aware of, nor does it really seem to sound much like Lorde or Taylor Swift, which I believe are the only two artists I've heard produced by Antonoff (who I admittedly don't know that much about beyond knowing the name).
I like the song, though, which helps. I'm also not sure how much Bowie I hear here, besides that particular vocal thing she does in the chorus. I'm sure the influence is there, but it's not immediately coming to my mind when listening.
I imagine the Young Americans era Bowie will end up being all over the album though. And I'm fucking here for it!

Striking resemblance to Uma Thurman in that video.

I like the track, it could be a grower.
The song takes notes from many 70s tracks in a way that feels similar to what Beck did on 'Midnite Vultures'..

Completely aside from that. Honestly didn’t even notice til now. But I only listened to it once. That was my immediate comparison.epilogue wrote:They both have the word "shame" in them.

Im loving it with each listen, and of course, it made listen to her again on daily basis....Masseduction is just so fucking good. But i also came back to my first St Vincent album, Strange Mercy. What a masterpiece.

Strange Mercy is still one of my favorite albums of the last 10 years -- it's weird to think it's almost too old to be able to say that about!VinylGuy wrote:Im loving it with each listen, and of course, it made listen to her again on daily basis....Masseduction is just so fucking good.

The album is cementing itself among my favorites of all time. It always feels new to me, like a discovery, every time I listen to it.
This new record could well end up being a spiritual cousin to Strange Mercy.
