Her 2019 summer show in San Francisco was magnificent. I immediately fell in love with Robyn’s album “Honey” when it came out, and to this day, still admire its delicate and soothing production. Hearing it live that summer was a dream come true.
What I didn’t expect and know about was how subtle and understated her stage persona is. She commanded the stage with such confidence, but that confidence was so obviously a result of deep inner awareness and comfort with herself, not some ostentatious gimmick. Her outfits in the show were sexy but not vulgar, her dancing was sensual but not provocative, and her attitude was playful but not immature.
It all together felt very cathartic. Starting with slower songs from "Honey" and ending with some of her incredible dance classics (my favorite was actually her live performance of “Don’t Fucking Tell Me What to Do”) was an incredible way to show us what she was going through at the time—an escape from darker days, an evolution to a new self.
