- multi-instrumentalist: guitar, bass, piano, keyboards, synthesizer
- has a pleasant & expressive voice
- interesting lyricist
- great look and personality
- won a Grammy (Best Alternative Album) for her self-titled album
- collaborated with David Byrne, The Chemical Brothers, Swans, The National, and others

- she was the lead designer of her own guitar, the St. Vincent Signature Ernie Ball MusicMan Guitar: https://instagram.com/p/65ZlEpQTf0/
- Annie is a host of a Beats 1 radio show where she delivers some awesome mixtapes
- she knows how to do a football rainbow kick: https://vimeo.com/85067428

It does sound kinda annoying in her first EP but that's because she felt uncomfortable when singing.

idk if you'd call her underappreciated, as with any session musician really. Did she write any of her parts, or just perform what the artist had written? I know some session players like james jamerson wrote the bass parts, but with stuff she did like Pet Sounds Brian Wilson had written them right?
>>
>>60571817
That's the pasta. And "great look and personality" isn't something negative. Maybe in your twisted mind.

The only subjective parts:
- has a pleasant & expressive voice
- interesting lyricist
- great look and personality
- insane live performances

Everything else are facts.

You're reading into that badly/it wasn't phrased greatly to start with. A lot of popular/mainstream artists are popular because of marketing over talent, so you only hear a small amount of okay musicians and maybe a few great ones. A lot of popular music also tries to fill a particular mold or niche, and it's good at it. They're great at making that kind of music.

Less popular music is not inherently talented, nor is it inherently bad for not being more well known. But if you start looking outside of what is heavily shoved in your face you'll start to find a lot of great, innovative artists doing things outside the mold.
