Concert Review:Sigrid Is Far From Sigrid Raabe At Baby’s All Right

I’m in love. Yes, Sigrid has made fall in love with her ferocity. Just a day before International Women’s Day, where people are deciphering the women who have inspired, I think I have found one that will. Combining a sense of chill and coolness to her aura and self-explorative lyrics, Sigrid makes music for those moments when you are convinced a beat can get you high or, at least, take you to your higher self. 

I first heard of Sigrid when she was Sigrid Raabe doing thoughtful covers of the 1975’s Sex and strumming  her original songs like,”Known You Forever. It was immediate that this was a young woman who wants to make “considerate” music. You might think I mean “polite”, but when I say “considerate”, I associate it in terms of an artist that seeks to reach and relate the inner turmoils and triumphs of just being  young and alive. I mention this “Sigrid Raabe” because in a few, short years, Sigrid had “revamped” herself, and revealed that young girl has become a young woman in her Baby’s All Right performance. Although still thoughtful, she has transformed her seeming shyness into a stream of warmth that makes her concert presence reach “Adele” heights of relatable. She sweetly laughs, gives a few quick quips on life, and enters her songs like they are celebrations. Sigrid, herself, hypes the crowd with the sparkling intelligence and depth at which she sings her songs. No matter what tempo, she sings with an urgency and presence that endears listeners to swim through their synths and instrumentals to hear her words that have made her FEEL so much. Sigrid FEELS!, and in a generation that has a lot of feelings, her music seems to embody Millennials’ top two mottos; “the struggle is real” and “work hard, play harder”. 

Sigrid – Don’t Kill My Vibe (Lyric Video)

Similar to Frances, Lorde, and Khalid, Sigrid is amongst a rising tide of international artists making the trek to the U.S. and bringing forward an analysis of youthful spiritualism through synth wave R&B/pop-ballads. Playing her newest hit, “Don’t Kill My Vibe”  while introducing future ones that will equally be on your playlist, Sigrid felt like the epitomized, music version of today’s youth. Vocally, the subtle sentimentality of her voice seems to leap forward in concert. I its not that she is a “riffing soul songstress”, although she does not mind doing a light run, but Sigrid is an artist that truly fleshes the meaning of her music through her live show. It is as if her light voice becomes enlightened when heard live.This my not sound like a “wonder” to you, but there are artists who shine in concert and those who shine on record. Yet, Sigrid does more than shine; she reveals,which is refreshing. Suddenly, you realize that music is not a career option for, but a personal one, because if she is not on stage in front of you, the crowd, then she is not being herself.  For More Information On Sigrid Click Here.
