Concert Review: Cautious Clay Is Love’s Crisis Manager At Brooklyn Steel
Cautious Clay is one of the best performers to see because he is multi-talented. He played the saxophone, ukulele, a bass guitar, and the flute throughout his set, and left the entire crowd saying, “Dis Too MUCH!” We were in awe of the everydayness of this every man at Brooklyn Steel.
Honestly, Cautious Clay could have cooked a five- course, five-star meal, delivered a child, and found the cure for cancer mid-set, and we would have been unsurprised. It is, immediately, set that this man is talented, but, what is even better, is that he is so relaxed. For being called Cautious Clay, he feels like the guy you want as a crisis manager; unfazed by all thetas arounds him as he presents all that is within him. He, intelligently, uses his concert as an opportunity to amplify what he is an artist: a precocious narrator of love.
From “French Riviera” to “Stolen Moments,” Cautious Clay scoped through his last two EP’s to display how trepidatiously we move in love. Every motion we make towards a lover is a movement we make away from our facade. Love is incredibly revealing of who we are, genuinely, and that is terrifying. Every layer you peel away of your soul is handed to your lover for safe-keeping, and, as Cautious Clay sang, you felt why vulnerability truly feels so……vulnerable.
Vocally, Cautious Clay feels like the child of Sade and Bruce Springsteen; he is The Chill Boss. Clay brings a rocker energy that is, not through sound, as much as in capacity. In being able to play so many instruments and carry his energy as if he is its pure owner, and people grew giddy as he brought out his tricks. One woman even said, “Oh my God! He did not just bring out a flute!” He impressed with his style, but he also serenaded the crowd with a voice that whirls and melted notes like marshmallows in cocoa.
