Lollapalooza: SZA puts on a well-rehearsed, but tense pop diva show with little audience interaction


The singer performed for the first time in Brazil this Sunday, the 24th, in a narrative show

SZA appeared for the first time on a Brazilian stage this Sunday, the 24th, during Lollapalooza. Maybe it took a while for his talent to be recognized, but she arrived in the country at the right time: at the peak of her career and breaking all records.

The feeling that remains after the artist’s death is that there was little left to make history. With a line-up devoid of female headliners at the festival, SZA could have had a visit that did justice to the artist’s impact.

From the beginning the singer makes her intentions clear: she wants to tell a story: her story. There is no better metaphor for SZA than the ocean. It sets the tone for the presentation and the artist’s latest album, the excellent, critically acclaimed SOS.

Like the waves that come and go, SZA sometimes calls for help, sometimes saves the audience from drowning in the unpredictability of life. The presentation is visibly well rehearsed, which consequently means there is a risk of appearing strained. This is what happened.

The artist interacts very little with those present, focusing on the transitions between the songs and his theatrical performance. SZA could have been enjoyed much more by the audience, who wanted to see her so much and wanted to see her so much.

The R&B singer, who has become a “pop diva” with SOS, contains in this name everything that is best: the voice, the concept, the audience and, above all, where to go. You are the commander of your own ship.

Sometimes, however, letting the waters flow can be the best solution. The flavor that remains is sweet and sour.
