Concert Review: Julia Michaels In Unafraid To Be Fearless
I watch Forrest Gump when I want to cry. I eat carbonara pasta when I want something savory. I go to twerking classes when I want to feel like Rihanna, put on a red dress anda leopard print coat when I want to “look” like Rosalia, and I re-read Pride and Prejudice when I want to believe that a Mr.Darcy exists. My point is we all have our go-to’s when we want to feel something specific, and Julia Michaels was for those wanting to be empowered at Webster Hall.
I have met a lot of artists that have mentioned their work or friendship with Julia Michaels, which is why I was excited to see her show at Webster Hall. An artist who supports other artists and is supported by them is a good sign of both their heart and potential prosperity in the music industry. Bruno Mars has worked as much for others as he has himself, and I am proudly rocking the 24 Karat Gold. In this sense, Julia Michaels thrived at the “go-to” for when you want to feel empowered and you don’t care if someone says it is cheesy. Entering her show she, literally, has a list of laws that could rival Planet Fitness is setting up a No Judgment Zone. (Note: When I want to work out…… I don’t)
JP Saxe – If The World Was Ending (Official Video) ft. Julia Michaels
With a mini-marching band, light up flowers, and verses that asked people to love their beautiful, it was hard not to walk out of Julia Michaels’ show not feeling like Barbie heading to her dream-house. Her concert was filled with permanent smiles as if we were all a bunch of Ken and Theresa dolls. Yet, most importantly, no one cared about a world that makes fun of people even WANTING to feel like that. People judge Barbie as childish, but that woman has fashionably done it all with a unshakeable, happy face. Yes, we all claim to want inner peace, but let a random yogi enter our room to teach us to meditate and we call the cops. (Now that I think about it, yes, that is not acceptable). My point is younger generations are more open and better at wanting to feel spiritually elevated compared to older generations, but we have work to do, and Michaels’ music is that work.
Julia Michaels – If You Need Me
As a performer, she is giddy and exuberant; treating her audience like they are a choir more than a crowd and their voices are what is going to get God to listen. It is a beautiful notion that hits the audience like church bells with simple ringing melodies. From “Body” to “Issues,” Michaels built a space that felt as clear as if shamans were walking around with sage and candy bags, and, frankly, I loved it.
