Lana del Rey is unique in what she does, and she does it oh so well. She does not do a lot of tours, and when she does she usually skips Europe altogether. But finally, this time she brought the 'La To The Moon Tour' to Europe, even though there were not many stops. I had the honor to see her live last Tuesday, in Antwerp, Belgium.
Del Rey has a presence on stage and that is why she really got the crowd going. It was clear she wanted the show to be energetic and different from what she Always does. She changed up the setlist during the show and did some audience requests, she even did some songs that she hadn't done before on the tour. It was a blast.
Del Rey does not do fake. When she just wasn't feeling like for a moment, she didn't. When she didn't feel a song that was next on the setlist, she did another one. Some may find it annoying, but she brings it in a way that it is just fine.
Her vocals were amazing. She sounds even better than the Original recordings and the ones that say she ain't no good live, clearly have no ears. Ofcourse, she has had some bad performances in the past, but who hasn't.
The setlist was a nice mix of all her albums. It included classics as 'Born To Die', 'Blue Jeans', 'Summertime Sadness', 'Ride' and 'National Anthem'. Also 'Ultraviolence' and 'West Coast' came by. Of course the songs from her newest record, 'Lust for Life', and from her third album 'Honeymoon'. She ended the evening with 'Off To The Races'.
Lana Del Rey is true force to be reckoned with. If she ever comes to a city near you, please go and see her. If you are into this type of music then you will absolutely love the concert. You will not regret it.
