St. Vincent and Cara Delevingne dated for a little over one thrilling, stylish year before accepting it’s selfish of two people this cool to deny other equally-cool people a shot at dating them. But thankfully, their romance will soon be preserved in song. In a New Yorker profile, Annie Clark has revealed that Cara will make a sneaky appearance on her new St. Vincent album (supposedly out this fall) credited under the pseudonym “Kid Monkey,†to throw off British tabloids. (Oops.) She’ll sing – because that’s a thing Cara does now – on a song called “Pills†about St. Vincent’s prescription dependency to cope with anxiety and depression. So don’t be fooled: That’s all Cara singing, “Pills to grow, pills to shrink, pills, pills, pills and a good stiff drink / pills to fuck, pills to eat, pills, pills, pills down the kitchen sink.â€
When pressed for clues about which songs on the album deal specifically with their relationship, Clark previously told the Guardian, “I can only write about my life, and that – dating Cara – was a big part of my life. I wouldn’t take it off-limits, just because my songs might get extra scrutiny.†She reaffirms to the New Yorker that her next album will be totally autobiographical: “The emotional tones are all true. The songs are the most coherent expression of them. Songs are like prophecies. They can be stronger than you are.â€
