Let’s start at the finish: St. Vincent in a spotlight on stage at the Greek Theatre, singing “Somebody Like Me,” one of the loveliest, most personal songs in her catalog. “Does it make you an angel / Or some kind of freak,” the musician born Annie Clark sang to the hushed full house on Friday.

“To believe enough / In somebody like me?” Oh, they believe in you, Annie. And why wouldn’t they? Seven albums and 17 years into St. Vincent’s career, she remains one of the most mesmerizing performers in modern music, making art rock with heart, industrial rock with warmth, lounge music with soul, and much, much more.
