If you were to only listen to the music of St. Vincent's "Cruel", you'd instantly recognize a sound akin to the Talking Heads - "Road to Nowhere" in particular - mixed with the distinctive guitar work of Robert Fripp (King Crimson). While the music may give off such a positive vibe, the lyrics (and video) are a muscular critique on the dehumanization of individuals - women in particular - in society.
