Hear the first episode of St. Vincent’s first fan-mixtape show, St. Vincent’s Mixtape Delivery Service
St. Vincent’s Beats 1 radio show debuted on Apple Music last night. It’s called St. Vincent’s Mixtape Delivery Service, and the premise is that Annie Clark will make you a specially curated mixtape and that becomes the program. She explains in the intro that the mix is intended “to serve as a soundtrack for whatever is going on in their lives,” and this week, the lucky individual on the receiving end was an 11-year-old named Piper.
Piper says she’s a fan of Purity Ring and Chvrches, and Clark in turn comes up with a playlist of songs that she thinks Piper will love, but likely missed, because she’s 11. They also have a chat. It’s adorable. Listen to a stream of the radio show below.
