两年前，Annie Clark在她的首发专辑"Marry me"中以St. Vincent的名字首次亮相，迅速直接地展现了她那令人眼花缭乱的音乐天赋，一颗新星在德克萨斯平原大地冉冉升起。来自各方的文化评论媒体,从"Pitchfork" 到"Spin"再到“纽约时报”，无不狂喜于她专辑中娴熟的编排和优雅的歌词，通过Vicent的现场表演稳步增长了她的歌迷群体，这些歌迷都惊讶于她那具有强大磁场吸引的舞台魅力。St. Vincent的不少歌迷说"Merry Me"这首歌的标题，从字面上看，就有令人心碎的力量。该专辑为她带来了一个非常成功的开头，使她获得了“年度最佳女歌手奖”的桂冠，并进行了国际巡演。
"Acotr"是一张令人陶醉、富有经验和结构复杂的全新专辑，也体现了St. Vincent在音乐上的野心，不断进步，从不向后看。这些歌曲不但在结构编排上更巧妙，歌曲制作更为宏伟，甚至在现场演出也是更加自信和鼓舞人心的。关于"Acotr"的创作，她创造了一种奇特的过程，她乐于沉浸在自己最喜欢的电影里，比如"Badlands"，"Pierrot le Fou"，"The Wizard of Oz", "Stardust Memories"和"Sleeping Beauty"，每首歌都是作为一个秘密的电影配乐开始的，接着它们慢慢地具有独立性，她会根据每部作品的结构和歌词来充分考虑歌曲的重点。由此产生的11首电影配乐同时也成了脍炙人口的流行歌曲。
"Acotr"这是一张需要你闭起眼睛来倾听的专辑，美妙的音乐不断移动旋转。"The Fantasy of Disney"（迪斯尼狂想）具有那种变化多端的戏剧形式，横扫听众的耳朵。"The Strangers"一开始便看似在为失去爱情歌唱的一首挽歌，突然扭转犹如洪水袭来的颠覆。"Actor Out Of Work"有一种亲吻般的具有混灭性的声音混合了顽皮的歌词以及吉他。如果说"Marry Me"成功的向世人推荐了Annie Clark，那么"Acotr"这张专辑便成功的替她加冕。Clark的头顶闪耀着光环，很荣幸我们能够亲眼所见。（鹿燃Gin/译）
Before she began writing and singing her own quirky, intricate pop songs, Annie Clark proved her musical prowess as part of Glenn Branca's 100 Guitar Orchestra, as a guitarist and background vocalist for the Polyphonic Spree on their third album, Fragile Army, and as a member of Sufjan Stevens' touring band. Sounding something like Regina Spektor, My Brightest Diamond, Joan as Police Woman, and Feist, St. Vincent (which Clark called herself as a solo artist) self-released a three-song EP for her tour in Europe, which included a cover of the Jackson Browne-penned "These Days," as well as originals, the Billie Holiday-esque "What Me Worry" and the orchestral "Paris Is Burning." That same year Clark signed to Beggars Banquet and issued her excellent full-length debut, Marry Me — on which she played not only guitar, but also organ, vibes, Moog, bass, and piano, just to name a few — in July 2007.
