After making her

directorial debut on

the horror anthologyy

XXX, Annie Clarkk

announced that she

would helm a gender-

flipped spinonThe

Picture of Dorian

Gray. “A t the core I’m

a storyteller,” she tells

EW. “Directing films is

just this other com-

pletely thrilling way to

tell stories.” Oscar

Wilde’s novel—”some

of therichesttext I

could possibly imag-

ine”—appeals to her

for multiple reasons.

“You’re dealing with

youth and beauty and

narcissism and trans-

gression and subli-

mated queerness,”

she says. “I can speakk

very personally to the

issues at the heart off

Dorian Gray.”

Unified by a singular cre-

ative vision and the helping

hand of co-producer Jack

Antonoff, Annie Clark’s fifth

solo album as St. Vincent

runs the gamut from ber-

serk prog (“Fear the Future”)

to synth-pop (“Sugarboy”)

to cheekily cinematic bal-

ladry (“New York”).
