Lyrics:
on the street i’m a kingsize killer
I can make your kingdom come
on my feet I’m an earthquake shaking
so open up my little onehey what are you looking at
who the hell do you think I am
what are you looking at
like you never seen a broken manlover nail yourself right to me
if you go I won’t be well
I can hold my arms right open
but I need you to drive the nail
hey what are you looking at
who the hell do you think I am
what are you looking at
like you never seen a broken manHow do you see me now?
You built my tower to tear it down.
And how could you see me now?
If I stopped cracking up myself
If I stopped cracking up
#stvincent #brokenman #allbornscreaming

It's the sound I’ve been begging for for over a decade. Worth the wait.

[@TheJATWolf]

💯💯💯

[@Scott_Silver]

yeah her edge is back I love it!

[@ikerina]

LMAO! I thought she'd work with pop producer Antonoff again but when the news said she self-produced this new album, I think I'll check it when it's out 😂

[@ShoeString13]

Influencer collection, yes?

[@MaddyKiss]

This song sounds similar to Waiting on a Wave

[@Howard_Louis_Music]

This is a magical blend of PJ Harvey, NIN, and so much more. But most of all, it’s so uniquely Annie at the same time. Amazing.

[@shawnbay2211]

I love she produced this album herself. She is phenomenal.

[@laylover7621]

Mad fucking respect. SUPER excited she's producing the whole record herself. I like jack antonoff's work but he could not make a song sound like this. Just amazing

[@JohmathanBSwift]

The song, along with the video is impressive.

[@jimmythebold589]

oh, is that why it's so dang quiet? the LUFS level is definitely off. Love the track, but I had to turn my 100 watt stereo and subwoofer all the way up. Normally I have both at 2, instead of ten. It's definitely my favorite thing I've heard of hers in years, I love her older stuff like 'Cruel', etc, She should definitely stick with self producing, but find someone else to master it... I produce music, and I also struggle with mastering, and often see a large waveform filling the display, and it's still quieter than other pop tunes. If I turn it up, it clips and distorts. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, and I've watched countless videos. I suspect she's going through the same thing. The ad came on and I had to turn my stereo back down!!

[@krumpingmarge]

yeah i respect jack antinoff but his production on her last two albums felt very bland. whereas this sounds great

[@tallonrk1]

​@@jimmythebold589this video is just quiet for some reason, the song is at a normal volume on streaming

The black background with flames in the video and the word “broken” in the title better have been intentional! Otherwise, it’s an amazing coincidence.

[@greatbasinman]

Good thing she didn’t let her sleeve keep burning, just hope she keeps turning the tunes out 😎😎😎

[@jpistolas]

Yes! I hear PJ Harvey in the vocals & lyrics but a bit of NIN in the main groove/loop. She is one of the best today. Bless her for making good music while most everything else is garbage.

[@shadelings]

Closest current artist to 'a Bowie', who can play with persona and narrative while remaining her own authentic self. Any comparison with another artist is now obsolete. We should cherish Annie for as long as we can. Brilliant.

Just a reminder that this lady can play guitar for Sufjan Stevens, co-write Cruel Summer with Taylor Swift and can also rock out harder than damn near everyone else. Annie is a true genius. Edit: Yes, I'm aware that she's also worked with Swans, The Polyphonic Spree, David Byrne and Sleater-Kinney. I just wanted to keep the comment brief lol

[@itookallthenames]

Collaborate with David Byrne, the Swans! Insane versatility

Wasn't she also providing guitar for Polyphonic Spree for a while? And she produced the latest Sleater-Kinney album a couple years ago.
