On this cold wet evening, St. Vincent returned to UK to play a sold-out show at the legendary O2 Brixton Academy in London, after releasing what is one of her best albums she's ever written and produced with her self-tilted album during 2014, the american superstar has returned with a great-follow up of' MASSEDUCTION ' which she released last week. Anne Clark also well-known as ' St. Vincent ' performed two-sets during her performance on stage, during this gig she performance entirely on her own in front a massive screen.

Her first set titled 'THE BIRTHDAY PARTY' included her well-known hits from her previous albums. The performance began with a short film 'The Birthday Party' in lieu of a support act which she arrived on stage through a thin break in the curtain. St Vincent opened with her debut album titled track 'Marry Me' when then followed followed tracks off her first four albums in chronological order the curtain on stage slowly shifted across the stage. The stage eventually came into view with the audience would be learning that those mechanical beats were actually a backing track rather than with a live band which St Vincent normally has. Some of the highlights during her first set were tracks such as 'Actor Out of Work', 'Cheerleader' and 'Rattlesnakes' being performed.
After a short interval to allow a costume change from pink latex into a futuristic silver number, she re-emerged from on a plinth to play through her brand new record in it's entirely. She performed and backed the new album Solo again and back by surreal fantasy of imagery behind her on the screen. Throughout the second set of the performance, it was very interesting from a audience point of view, some were happy and some felt cheated that she was performing for nearly ninety-minutes on her own with a backing track which was in replacement of her usual live band on stage. Looking at previous albums and St. Vincent's image it's easy to say she has moved from electro-indie for art-pop on this latest album 'Masseduction'. Entire performance was directed by St Vincent herself.
During her second performance of the evening performing her latest record 'Masseduction' in entirely she performed leading singles 'New York' , 'Los Ageless' and 'Pills' she also performed other tracks like 'Young Lover' and album tilted track 'Masseduction'. It's easy safe to say seeing this performance on stage is a completely different visual and sound which we're normally see St Vincent as. We expect see bigger stage performance of this performance at larger venues in the next year.
