Concert Review: Kristina Bazan Is A Purposeful Vixen

There is an inner vixen in all of us because everyone wants to own and further their power. It is basic humanity, and, while there were guys wide-eyed by the Bazan’s beauty and sultriness, it was my fellow femmes that stood out to me. While men may sexualize a beautiful woman, women admire her, and Bazan moves her body and voice as if it is undergoing a Vogue photoshoot. She is so purposeful with her poses, and understands that the stage does not only command personality; it summons personas. 

Seeing her enter the stage, as she crossed the column, it was as if Kristina Bazan became possessed by “Rocker Chic.” She is “on” the whole time, framing herself and her songs like the pictures of a love gone to hell. From “Killer” to a cover of Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Games,” nearly all her tracks played to the woman that fell for the “bad guy.” No matter what, every gal can relate to the time when she was confounded by a “savior complex” and truly thought she could save “The Devil” with love. Yet, from “Clockwork” to “Old Soul,” the ladies sang her songs like they were the more “fashionable images” of the truth; when you fall for a bad boy, he does you dirty. 

Sonically, Kristina Bazan’s voice and sound feels whipped like cream but glazes over verses that cut like blades. Her pop sound feels like a poisoned cupcake, which is perfect when thinking of her tracks thematically. Bad relationships can can feel like you have bitten into a cupcake that LOOKED delicious, but, once tasted, you realize the batter was replaced with ash. While her music and presence scintillate like red leather pulling over your skin, she gives a show that reminds women the beauty of our love can be betrayed, but a good, moody song might be the cure all.
