Concert Review: Lisel Is Beauty At Baby’s All Right
Lisel proved that incorporating lighting and set design into your music does not, necessarily, deplete its authenticity. There are artists that believe lights and sets degrade the raw connection between a crowd and an artist, even going so far as to say it is a distractor. This can be true, but, at Baby’s All Right, Lisel showed that, if smart, your visuals, including your presence, can elevate the genuineness of your art.
By all means, you can describe Lisel’s music as ethereal. Her voice might as well come from the “magical seashells” that, as children, we are told to put up to our ears so as to hear the ocean. It is a beautiful concept; the idea that clasped between the hard casing of a mollusk lies a spiritual/ aerial sound capturing the nature of another entity. With this rich image, Lisel’s voice and presence can be described. Thus, any artwork she added felt revealing of her imagination. It was as if we were seeing her mind’s workings rather than seeing her.
What I love about Lisel’s performance style is the paced delicacy and precisions from which she moves her voice and body. She can make moving one finger or holding one note feel as purposeful as an army of angels swarming to earth in aid. Hence, displaying that even how you stand is a visual. Playing off her debut, Angels On The Slope, her record came off more gorgeous when live. While I enjoyed the album, because of her art and presence, everything felt so much more important. Her songs came to life as philosophies on what makes a soul disconnect and reconnect with itself. It is as if see our hearts like hard drives downloading files from an invisible cloud and praying not to get corrupted or hacked. Thus, from “Ciphers” to “Vanity” she felt like a young, self-help guru too humble and connected to modern youth to call herself as such.

The cruelest people have the tendency to describe themselves as the kindest, while truly good people see themselves as not worthy enough to call themselves “good.” The irony does not surpass me, but it is in that sweet. but sad irony that Lisel finds a sound that encourages humanity to feel cosmic in its goodness.
