Frenchi mean this is literally what her father did lol
Read my other comment. It doesn't matter. Making labels and presumptions (which the interviewer does the entire interview) and letting those presumptions frame your questions is not how a professional who's actually been working in the field for a while handles an interview with someone.

"Did you ever rebel against your dad's lifestyle growing up as a teenager?"
"I didn't grow up with him...and I don't know what lifestyle you're presuming but...."
How is St. Vincent even supposed to respond to a s***ty question like that?
This is the kind of hilarious s*** I'm talking about. I'm not even a huge Annie Clark fan, I just work in PR and this is abysmal.
Apr 26, 2021ThomForkClark isn't being stand-offish, the interviewer is asking her how the Floyd "riots" relate to her dad getting home from prison lol. It's a badly structured interview and anyone who works in the field or has been interviewed before can realize that right off the bat lol
she is stand offish before that and the question is clearly about the idea of prison reform (a hot button issue) in context of her dad coming home from prison - again, which the album is about.
it is not unreasonable to expect questions about personal and current political matters when they can be so easily and openly linked to your upcoming art. it wasn't a huge leap.

talking about PR, i don't know how her managers didn't understand that deleting this interview would create a streisand effect

Man I love st vincent but she has been a tryhard since her self titled album
Apr 26, 2021ThomForkIt's not that. It's that the interviewer like legit insults Vincent during the interview in backhanded ways.
Straight up called her father's jailtime as being punishment for "white collar crimes" lol
what was the time for? was it white collar?
- Apr 26, 2021class wario
but like how is it labelling to say what it literally is? those are white collar crimes
annie clark as a musician is somebody i like a lot and i have broadly liked a lot of her non musical output but she showed her ass badly this rollout imo and this is just the latest incident.
it's not cancel culture to cast a critical eye over the fact her dad was jailed for defrauding millions from people lol.
and if she thinks an album about her dad coming home from jail (broadly speaking) isn't gonna prompt questions about her personal relationship with him, prison reform (!!) etc then she is much less smart than i gave her credit for. the contrived aloofness doesn't gel with the subject matter
all true but very weird to tie it to George Floyd
