St. Vincent, also known as Annie Clark, recently appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Wednesday, December 18, 2024, to perform a cover of David Bowie’s 1975 song “Young Americans” as part of the show’s new segment, “Under the Covers.” [https://www.colbertlate show.com/videos/st-vincent-covers-david-bowies-young-americans/](https://www.colbertlate show.com/videos/st-vincent-covers-david-bowies-young-americans/)
Clark’s rendition of the classic track remains largely faithful to the original, with a notable lyrical update substituting the name of President Joe Biden for Richard Nixon. This is not the first time Clark has performed this cover; she initially debuted it at the Love Rocks NYC benefit show in 2023. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/st-vincent-david-bowie-young-americans-colbert-1234944911/
During the interview, Colbert inquired about artists Clark would like to cover her own music, to which she responded with a compelling list including Erykah Badu, Doechii, and The Slits.
Clark spent a meaningful portion of 2024 touring in support of her critically acclaimed and Grammy-winning album, All Born Screaming. https://www.grammy.com/news/st-vincent-all-born-screaming-album-review
