MØ : Hyperactive


 

Corona theater 
Montreal
November 30 2016

The Corona is a grest venue that i discovered this year where the concerts feel intimate so it is easy to get into it.

I was happy to have the chance to see MØ again since the last time i saw her perform was at Osheaga and it was impactful.
The crowd that night was really young and looking to party.

 
Grace Mitchell was opening the evening.
She was a great opener to warm up the already conquered crowd.
She danced quite a lot, had the crowd participate often and the beats were entertaining.
We were ready for MØ.

During the setup for MØ, they played 30 minutes of Lana Del Rey which slowly calmed everyone down.
MØ came on stage alone and started singing staying immobile for a bit and that was probably the last time she stayed put.
The band joined her on stage then it really started...in the dark she was singing with pulsating lights it was interesting to see flashes of MØ dancing.

In only a few seconds, She really ignited the crowd.
Everyone was dancing and singing.
It was a fun party atmosphere x1000.

MØ has a really awkward style of dancing, but it works.
She has gestures for all her lyrics it is fun to watch her.

 
She played a few new songs, but unlike other artists i find that her songs are really easy to get into even if their new.
The way the drummer plays the drums is just exquisite...its an artistic performance for a moment then beats his drums so hard the next moment.
I was surprised that I stopped watching the singer and was mesmerized by the drummer for quite a long time.

MØ sang from everywhere on stage, on the barricade blocking the crowd and even went on the 2nd floor balcony to sing 1 whole song. 
She was then moving throuh the crowd on the balcony to sing with people.

She displayed so much energy and sang so hard that at some point her voice was going out.
Fortunately at that time it was time for a slower song with only her guitar player. 
It was a refreshing moment to slow down and breathe a little.

She played a few more energized songs after this and continued to dance until the end of the show.
Kept screaming "Montreaaaaaaaal" and she seemed to really enjoy the crowd and the energy given back to her.

She ended the show with a 3 songs encore and crowdsurfing to end it all!


Really great night!
