St. Vincent’s ‘All Born Screaming’ album artwork has been deemed ‘poorly timed’ in the wake of Aaron Bushnell’s death.
Today (February 29), Annie Clark, better known as St. Vincent, announced her seventh studio album, All Born Screaming. While fans are elated over the fact that they’re finally getting new music from St. Vincent for the first time in three years, the announcement has not come without controversy.

The album cover features St. Vincent in flames — a creative choice which was revealed just days after former US Air Force serviceman Aaron Bushnell self-immolated in front of the Embassy Of Israel in Washington, D.C. in protest of the ongoing Gaza-Israeli conflict.
“there could not have been a worst time to release this cover art,” said one X user, after St. Vincent revealed the artwork.
