St. Vincent will be presenting her seventh studio album at the Passeio Marítimo de Algés on July 11 on the Heineken Stage at NOS Alive’25. The artist joins The Backseat Lovers on the second day of the festival.

Annie Clark made her recording debut as St. Vincent in 2007 with Marry Me, and was quickly regarded as one of the most innovative and fascinating presences in modern music. Their subsequent albums have included Actor (2009), Strange Mercy (2011) and their fourth album of the same name, which won the GRAMMY® for Best Alternative Album in 2014. In 2017, his fifth album, MASSEDUCTION took St. Vincent to the top 10 in the US and the UK, as well as winning two GRAMMYs® (Best Rock Song for the title track and Best Recording Package). In 2021, Daddy’s Home found St. Vincent channeling the decadent glamour and grainy sepia-toned soundtrack of 1970s New York, receiving a euphoric reception that culminated in his second GRAMMY for Best Alternative Album.

After a global tour between 2021 and 2022, which reaffirmed St. Vincent’s status as one of the supreme forces in live music, with performances at iconic venues such as the Hollywood Bowl and Radio City Music Hall, Clark began work on his seventh album, released in April this year, and the first to be entirely self-produced (after co-producing all the previous ones), All Born Screaming shows St. Vincent at her most primal. With Clark leading “a curated group of incredible musicians”, the album includes the powerful “Broken Man”, the biting catwalk parade to the deafening sound of self-deprecation in “Big Time Nothing” and the sublime and elegiac “Sweetest Fruit”. All Born Screaming is equal parts spiritual desolation and ecstatic acceptance. “If you’re born screaming, it’s a great sign,” says Clark, “because it means you’re breathing. We’re alive. Oh my God. It’s a joy. And it’s also a protest. In a way, we were all born in protest. It’s terrifying to be alive, it’s ecstatic to be alive. It’s everything.”
