ST. VINCENT RELEASES NEW SINGLE “EL MERO CERO”
Listen To “El Mero Cero”; Final Single in Advance of Todos Nacen Gritando Album Release This Friday
St. Vincent to Perform at Mexico City’s Legendary Corona Capital Festival this Weekend; New 2025 Tour Dates Announced Including Shows with Olivia Rodrigo
Career-High Four Nominations for 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards
St. Vincent has released the new single “El Mero Cero,” a Spanish language version of her song “Big Time Nothing.” It is the final single to preview the upcoming album Todos Nacen Gritando ahead of its release this Friday.
Todos Nacen Gritando is the result of Annie Clark a/k/a St. Vincentâs ambitious decision to re-record every vocal track on her Grammy-nominated All Born Screaming album translated into Spanish. The echoes of tens of thousands of fans chanting her lyrics across Latin America and Spain moved Clark to pay tribute to her Spanish-speaking fans and the Spanish language she loves so much. âIt was really inspiring,â she says, recalling experiences like the crowd reaction to her set at Primavera Sound 2023. âAt the end, I asked myself, ‘If they’re able to sing in a second or third language, why can’t I do the same thing?â
That is how Todos Nacen Gritando’was born. Clark defines this meticulous reinterpretation as one of the biggest challenges of her musical career: âIt’s been a much more complicated process than anything I’ve done before.â
No small statement for an artist whose accomplishments and accolades include 3 Grammy awards (“Best Rock Song” in 2019 and “Best Alternative Music Album” in 2015 and 2022) â a tally that may wind up doubling (or more) with this yearâs career-high 4 nominations â collaborations with artists from Taylor Swift to David Byrne, fronting Nirvana for their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, contributing to Paul McCartney‘s III-Imagined album and playing live with Metallicaâand a just-announced pair of shows supporting Olivia Rodrigo in Mexico City and Curitiba, Brazil (Tickets for these newly unveiled dates will be on sale beginning November 12. For further information, go to ilovestvincent.com.)
The stark nature of the album âher first fully self-produced recordâ found in Spanish a way to enhance its visceral original vocal performances. âThere are things that I sing in Spanish that maybe I would feel self-conscious singing in English because they feel so sincere… it was a fascinating experience to find how to convey the feeling, but also discover a new way through words,” she explains.
