St. Vincent covered the David Bowie classic “Young Americans” during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Wednesday.
The performance marked the launch of a new Late Show series called “Under the Covers.”
St. Vincent’s version of the 1975 hit stays mostly close to the original, with some added vocal affectations and a reference to another Bowie song, 1997’s “I’m Afraid of Americans.” You can watch the performance streaming now on YouTube.
The most recent St. Vincent album is 2024’s All Born Screaming . She also just put out a cover of the holiday standard “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” for the new movie Oh. What. Fun.
