Today was the third of the pop superhero gang: Chappell Roan, perhaps the most interesting of all for his artistic proposal at all levels. Without detracting from Charlie XCX and Sabrina Carpenter, she has managed to climb to the highest positions of sales lists despite her work challenging the normative molds of the mainstream. His career until success has not passed precisely by a path of roses but, at least, he has given juicy material in case he decides to publish his biography. After years of attempts in the world of music, when I was about to leave it, fed up with disappointments, the world put on its part and succeeded. Now they give him pleitesia and rightly.
At present, it rises in stages around the world in front of crowds such as the one that this Saturday congregated in the Fòrum willing to enjoy a good show. Roan has become an iQueer cone thanks to the lyrics of his songs, his public positions and his excessive aesthetics, even theatrical. In fact, the scenario in which his show took place became a kind of castle with a Gothic spirit that contrasted with the rhythm of his songs. Except for two ballads as Coffee o Picture you, Most of the rest of their themes were the ingredients of Una authentic dance party. Hot To Go, that has its own viral choreography, Red Wine Supernova,California And, as supposed, Pink Pony Club They raised the mood of a staff, who already blamed signs of fatigue but managed to maintain the guy.
Although in his locker room the body uniform with colored sequins did not miss, Its appearance does not fit at all in the diva to use. Excessive makeup has reminiscences to other artists who in the past walked so that she could fly like David Bowie himself or, why not, Freddie Mercury. Each in its field and at different levels but united by the lack of fear of provocation and criticism. The rupture of standards in music as a way of contributing A grain of sand to change that they want for the world. Even with songs, staging, eye shadows and glitter.
The strategy of placing a mega female pop star as a poster head each of the days has been A total success by the organization. For the first time, the influx of public has been similar every day: approximately 71,000 people, 293,000 in the total festival. Tradition used to be that on Thursday the Fòrum was a little less crowded than Friday and Saturday, but Charlie XCX and his colleague Troye Sivan had so much pull that they broke with that inertia. The average age of the attendees of this edition has been 29 years, A fact in which the fans of the Supernens have possibly influenced, as in the end it has ended up calling them everyone.
But not everything was sticky pop and bright shine, because on Saturday The guitars had a good share of prominence. Kim Deal was in charge of opening a mouth early in the afternoon with songs from his solo repertoire as Coast o Nobody Loves You More and also classic themes of The Breeders as Drivin’ On 9, Gigantic de Pixies And even a version of Happiness Is a Warm Gun of The Beatles. The sound may be somewhat irregular – a very large scenario for a too acoustic proposal, perhaps – but there are few voices as cozy and enjoyable as yours in the rock spectrum.
His performance was a boat ride on a lake of tranquility next to the Irish DC fountains, that they went on stage willing to give the public the strong emotions he was waiting for. The band had already passed through the festival three years ago and those who saw them then had high expectations. They were not disappointed. The show had two clear objectives: on the one hand, present its new Romance album, which went on sale last April. And, on the other, gratify their most faithful followers, so in their theme salad you could find some almost out of the oven as Romance, Bug, Death Kink o Sundowner and others already classic like I Love You, Nabokov o Boys in the Better Land.
After Chappell’s hurricane, a tornado shook the foundations of his stage. Central Cee He arrived with a good ristra of Drill songs for all audiences, with like as the main hook for those not too familiar with their music. It was a viral on Tik Tok three years ago and although some of the festival attendees may not have that application (for their age, surely) It is difficult to escape those successes. After him, LCD Soundsystem rang, who never fail as musical medicine to maintain adrenaline at an optimal point thanks to hits like Oh Baby, Someone Great o All My Friends. Better than a single coffee or a bullfighting drink.
Back three o’clock in the morning, the turn of Turnstile one of the jewels of the poster to which they inexplicably decided to program at dawn. Baltimore’s have a new album Never Enough and their followers – which are not few – were eager to verify how those small changes that have introduced in their music sound live, which is not so hardcore while still being. In addition, there was also a place for his classics, because that transnoche deserved an award. And, without more or less, Until next year, Spring Sound.
