St. Vincent has announced a Spanish-language version of her latest LP, All Born Screaming. Annie Clark worked with filmmaker and close friend Alan Del Rio Ortiz on the project, titled Todos Nacen Gritando. Ortiz helped Clark translate the 10 tracks on All Born Screaming, tweaking phrases only slightly “for melodic reasons,” as Clark said in press materials. Below, listen to the new album’s lead single, “Hombre Roto,” a Spanish-language update of “Broken Man.”
Clark recorded her Spanish vocals atop the foundation of the original record, which features contributions from Dave Grohl, Cate Le Bon, Mark Guiliana, Stella Mogzawa, Rachel Eckroth, Josh Freese, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, and David Ralicke.
Speaking of her inspiration to create a Spanish-language version of All Born Screaming, Clark said:
The origins of Todos Nacen Gritando can be traced back to some of the most memorable shows I’ve ever played, in Mexico, South America, and, recently, Primavera Barcelona, in 2023. Though separated by time and geography, and across a diverse range of settings and venues, these crowds were united in their passion—singing every word to every song in perfect English. It was truly inspiring. Eventually, I asked myself: If they can sing along in a second or third language, why can’t I meet them halfway? So I enlisted my best friend and occasional collaborator Alan Del Rio Ortiz to work on translating these lyrics, tweaking here and there for melodic reasons, making every effort to stay true to the song at hand without sacrificing accuracy. After much rewriting and re-singing every vocal track on the album, the result is Todos Nacen Gritando, equal parts labor of love and tribute to the people who inspired it.
Todos Nacen Gritando arrives November 15 via Total Pleasure.
