St Vincent teams up with Sheryl Crow for new song 'Wouldn't Want To Be Like You'

St Vincent has teamed up with Sheryl Crow on new song ‘Wouldn’t Want To Be Like You’.

Appearing on the track by her real name Annie Clark, St Vincent contributed back and co-lead vocals along with her signature distorted guitar tone on the song.

Speaking to Billboard, Sheryl said the song is “about the climate of truth not being important anymore” and that she approached St Vincent directly about the collaboration.

“I called her and said, ‘I am dying to have you bring your St Vincent-ness to this.’ And I said, ‘You will not hurt my feelings if you don’t like the song,’” she said. “And I sent it to her, and her response was, ‘Fuck yeah.’ That was a direct quote, as only Annie Clark can respond, which I loved. She did all kinds of stuff on it, and we pretty much used all of it.”
