Release and promotion

"New York" was released as the lead single from the album on June 30, 2017. [6] The album was announced on September 6 along with a pre-order and the release of the second single, "Los Ageless". [7] The announcement was followed by a series of cryptic, satirical promotional clips Clark (St. Vincent) posted to her social media. Clark hosted a press conference on Facebook Live to announce the album, which was in the style of the sarcastic earlier clips. [8] "Pills" was released as the third single on October 10. [1] The album was promoted on two different tours: the Fear the Future Tour saw St. Vincent performing solo to prerecorded tracks in theatres, while the I Am a Lot Like You! Tour saw her performing with her band mostly in festivals around the world. [9]

Recording

The album was produced by Clark and Jack Antonoff at Electric Lady Studios in Manhattan, with additional recording at Rough Consumer Studio in Brooklyn, and Compound Fracture in Los Angeles. [10] It features contributions from Doveman on piano, Kamasi Washington on saxophone, Jenny Lewis on guest vocals, and beat production from Sounwave, as well as pedal steel by Greg Leisz and Rich Hinman, and additional guitar and vocals from her uncle and aunt Tuck & Patti, respectively. [11] [12] Model and actress Cara Delevingne, whom Clark had dated before they split in 2016, provided back-up vocals. [13]

Music and lyrics

Masseduction has been described as the "culmination of years of writing, with songs crafted from voice memos, text messages, and snippets of melodies that came to Clark while traveling the globe." [8] Clark has stated that the album focuses on themes of power, sex, drugs, sadness, imperiled relationships and death. [8] [9] In a press release, she stated: "every record I make has an archetype. Strange Mercy was Housewives on Pills. St. Vincent was Near-Future Cult Leader. Masseduction is different, it's pretty first person. You can't fact-check it, but if you want to know about my life, listen to this record." [14]

Musically, the album has been characterized as "futuristic" pop, [15] [16] [17] [18] electropop, [19] [16] [17] [18] [20] art pop, [21] glam rock [22] [23] [24] and new wave, [13] [25] while also incorporating ambient rock, [13] [17] "industrial-tinted techno", [16] [26] psychedelic rock, [24] [27] electronic rock [28] and dream pop. [17] It consists of guitar and piano, synths and strings, and drum beats "that punch with purpose". [8]

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 88, based on 38 reviews. [30] According to the site, the album was the fourth-most mentioned in critics' year-end lists for 2017. [4] John Murphy of musicOMH praised the album, saying "it's clear that Clark has not only raised the bar but moved it several notches up. Masseduction is a remarkable record, a certain contender for album of the year and demonstrable proof that Clark is an artist working at the height of her powers," continuing: "Masseduction is nothing less than an absolutely towering achievement. A year after we all mourned the loss of creative geniuses like David Bowie and Prince, we should be thankful that one of their spiritual successors in Annie Clark is on fine form." [20]

El Hunt of DIY wrote, "Along with the equally exceptional St. Vincent which came before it, this is the moment that St. Vincent enters the fabled realm reserved for the greats." [25] Claire Biddles of The Line of Best Fit stated that "ultimately, Masseduction defies explanation and critique, rendering the critic a dead weight in the dust of its ever-accelerating sucker-punch of ideas." [38] Drowned in Sound 's Jude Clarke said, "You wouldn't want one track or note to be changed or left out. It's a genuine masterpiece: complex, funny, sexy, bleak, uplifting, inspiring and enthralling from start to finish." [39] AllMusic critic Heather Phares said "Masseduction delivers sketches of chaos with stunning clarity. It's the work of an always savvy artist at her wittiest and saddest." [31] The A.V. Club 's Annie Zaleski wrote that Clark "perfects her fractured, futuristic pop vision on Masseduction" and that she "captures this emotional roller-coaster in her remarkably genre-agnostic music". [16]

The record made many appearances on best of the decades list. Uproxx listed Masseduction as the 14th best pop album of the 2010s. [40]
