Concert Review: Alexandra Savior Is NYC’s Baby Doll
Watching Alexandra Savior perform at Mercury Lounge, for some reason made me recall the scene in Toy Story when Little Bo Peep gets cracked and tossed away, and then we find her in Toy Story 4 kicking ass and herding sheep into local heists. I think my remembrance of Little Bo Beep came for two reasons. First, Alexandra looked like a live-action baby-doll; glimmering make-up shining under lights that hued over her with colors of love-lorn love. Second, she captured the strength and softness of feeling like the rag people toss but, somehow, finds another way to put itself to us.
Alexandra Savior – Crying All The Time
Feeling like a tossed baby doll may not seem like the reason to go to a concert, but it spoke to her crowd and explained why she was sold out. There is a Lana Del Rey quality to her sound and style of bringing vintage, 1950’s “don’t they know its the end of the world” vibes. These women know how to make the classic modern, and how to display a fractured woman might, actually be, breaking into her clarity. Alexandra is sweet, easy-going, witty, and swings in place as she sings as if her songs came from the playground of her mind. She has a childlike way of approaching adult issues like, our lack of hope and poor choices in life and love. It is as if she sums and packs “adutling” into a kid’s juice-box and everyone was sippin.
Alexandra Savior – Howl (Official Video)
Frankly, I was surprised by “fan-girl” her crowd was because it went beyond liking Alexandra Savior’s music as much as admiring her as their voice. People felt her songs like, “Howl,” “Vanishing Point,” “Girlie” and “Soft Currents” like the diaries of reality and dreams of wonder they carry for themselves, and, admittedly, her indie, pop-rock tracks came off dreamier live. She was Alice and her new, fantastic LP, Archer, was a wonderland of tracks that she not only sang but emoted and acted. She embodies her music and furthered her fans belief that Alexandra Savior is not only a good, creative artist but an authentic one. For More Information On Alexandra Savior Click Here.
