]]>Here are 5 albums that contributed to this change:
Florence’s debut album Lungs put this indie-pop group on the map, but its follow-up proved they’re not a one-hit-wonder and things only got better from there.
Lana Del Rey is one of the alternative pop artist who defined the 2010s as we know it, and it all started with her major-label debut Born to Die.
St. Vincent is only one of two solo female artist to ever win a Grammy for best alternative music album, and her eponymous record from 2014 made this possible.
Billie Eilish’s star is still on the rise, but if her debut album is any indication of what awaits in the future, she’s got many amazing things in store for us.
Halsey shifted to pop as her career progressed, but she always identified as an alternative artist, and her debut album from 2015 clearly falls under this genre.

]]>The post Watch St. Vincent Cover Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Besides performing songs from MassEducation and some of her other classics, St. Vincent also delivered an amazing cover of Lou Reed’s song “Perfect Day” with the help of pianist Thomas Bartlett. In case you didn’t manage to attend the show, don’t worry. One fan was kind enough to capture this performance on camera and share it with us who were not there.
Check out the video below.
Lou Reed wrote “Perfect Day” in 1972 after he and his then-fiancée Bettye Kronstad spent a day in New York’s Central Park. The song became a part of Reed’s second solo album Transformer and included contributions from Mick Ronson and David Bowie. It became a big hit and was covered by various music acts since then including British pop-rockers Duran Duran and Scottish recording artist Susan Boyle. Reed himself also re-recorded the song in 2003 for his nineteenth studio album The Raven.

]]>The post St. Vincent Plays Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and Pantera Riffs appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>After picking up an acoustic guitar, she couldn’t remember which riff she learned first out of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and Jethro Tull’s “Aqualung,” so she played them both. St. Vincent was then asked about some of the underappreciated riffs people should learn, opting to play The Breeders’ “Cannonball.”
For the part about riffs that make her want to pick up a guitar, she went with the classics: Jimi Hendrix’ “Manic Depression” and Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog.” Finally, St. Vincent also revealed she was a metalhead, since she played Pantera’s “Cowboys From Hell” when it came to riffs she wishes she has written.
You can hear her playing all of these riffs and more in the video below.
When she is not sharing the riffs that changed her life, St. Vincent is playing her own stuff on her ongoing tour in support of her latest album Masseduction. Released in 2017, the album debuted at number 10 on the US Billboard 200, being her first top ten entry in the U.S. The album also met with critical acclaim, being considered one of the best records of 2017.

]]>The post Concert Review: St. Vincent and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds at INmusic appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Slowly navigating the audience through her biggest hits, St. Vincent looked comfortable on stage rocking her guitar. Everyone looked like they enjoyed every bit of the show, from St. Vincent – who was surprisingly joking around – to fans – who got drawn into the world of St. Vincent’s songs.
Still, there wasn’t much opportunity to catch a break after St. Vincent wrapped up the show with an acoustic version of “Prince Johnny.” While her performance was more than enjoyable, the highlight of the night was iconic Nick Cave and his Bad Seeds.
It was everything you would expect and then some more, at least for Cave’s fans. They know how to embrace the good and bad sides of his music.
The main selling point of this live show was the emotion he managed to translate to the audience. His movement on the stage, the change of mood in his voice and energy that’s bursting out of him during the show is a special thing to witness.
The audience was almost hypnotized by the “king of melancholy,” who was set to touch them as much as possible with his songs about birth, love, death and everything in between.
When we thought the show is over after a 10-minute long rendition of “Stanger Lee,” Cave decided to continue playing, which is a great rarity at music festivals. He topped already great show with songs “Push the Sky Away” and “Rings of Saturn,” and then finally sailed into the night, leaving the audience in awe.
