St. Vincent "Reckless" Video Premiere - PAPER Magazine

“I watched you all night 'til the dawn had come/And the angels came down and picked you up/ Breathless,” St. Vincent sings with unnerving calm on “Reckless,” a brooding slice of sonics off her new, self-produced album, All Born Screaming.

Performing “Reckless” Live from Vevo Studios, St. Vincent’s live rendition has all the heat of its studio recording. But with a band in tow and an icy stare aimed directly at the camera, her live performance has an extra punch that will leave you breathless.

“This was recorded during the All Born Screaming album release week and was the first time this band had performed together,” St. Vincent tells PAPER, which tracks given the performance’s fresh and kinetic energy.

“It was so labored- over, and I don't mean that in a bad way,” St. Vincent told PAPER earlier this year when speaking about her latest album. “It was such a process to get there, to strip away anything that didn't feel exactly right and to be more intentional about every sound, intentional about every word not that I wasn't before, like casting aspersions on previous work. But I do think, too, there are emotional places you will only go alone."

St. Vincent’s second stint in the Vevo Studios following her performance of “Sweetest Fruit,” “Reckless” is another exciting offering from one of our greatest living rock stars.
