VINCINT
“The amount of time it’s taken me to get into this interview and my phone is still playing up!” It’s 2021, so VINCINT having an absolute nightmare with his Zoom connection is an experience many of us can relate to by now. But hopefully this socially distant ‘new normal’ is something we can wave goodbye to very soon, as a very real optimism that the lifting of lockdown restrictions is upon us. And what better timing for an album packed to the brim with big pop anthems ready to soundtrack the summer?
VINCINT’s brilliantly titled debut album, There Will Be Tears, will be released on 11 June and features a raft of LGBTQ+ collaborators on a joyous collection of songs filled with lyrics of love, friendship and solidarity. Since 2018, VINCINT has served us sky-soaring pop, but for this album he’s managed to take it to another level yet again.
When we catch up with the American singer-songwriter, it’s been a few days since the release of his euphoric new single Higher; soon to be a dancefloor staple at gay clubs across the world. VINCINT celebrated with a tub of Ben & Jerry’s (cookie dough, obviously) in anticipation of returning to the stage this Pride Month for some big shows. It’s about bloody time!
Hello VINCINT! How are you?
I am frazzled beyond belief, but I am here and I am ready!
That’s good to hear. I usually ask what have you been up to during lockdown, but you’ve been busy writing and recording an album.
Yeah, I started writing this album in January 2019. I had already finished The Feeling and it
