Read MoreOne of the starkest cuts on St. Vincent's MASSEDUCTION album from 2017 is "New York," a ballad with the gut-punching memorable refrain of "you're the only motherfucker in the city who can nickname me." Lorde is a confirmed fan, having tweeted out those lyrics last summer. It makes sense, as St. Vincent co-wrote the song with Lorde's trusted collaborator (and pal) Jack Antonoff. Those..
