MØ is a must: MØ at the Spanish Moon in Baton Rouge, LA
Danish singer MØ completely brought down the house to an intimate crowd on October 7 at The Spanish Moon in Baton Rouge, just 2 days after her performance at Austin City Limits.
Girls wanted to be her best friend. Gay guys were crying. Even the dudes just there with their girlfriends were nodding in approval.
In short, MØ’s concert in Baton Rouge was AMAZING.
Playing infectious electro-pop songs from her newest album “MØ: No Mythologies to Follow,” MØ had the crowd in the palm of her hand by the second song. You could tell that about 10% of the crowd were die-hard fans. The rest were either familiar with her music or just there as loyal patrons of the venue. But by the end of her show, there wasn’t a person there who wasn’t staring up at her on in admiration. And maybe even a slight bit of intimidation (or was that just me?).
Using a loop-pedal and a foundation of deep synths, MØ steadily brought the energy. At one point, she came through the crowd and continued to the bar, on which she sat for the duration of the song. She delivered her songs with lots of energy and with her unique voice. She was powerful and sassy when she needed to be, yet quiet and delicate when the occasion called. By ending the show with 2 encores, you got the feeling that she was having just as good of a time as we were. Just because our show was overshadowed by big brother Austin (City Limits), she wasn’t going to give us anything less than 110%.
After the show, she stood by the doorway of the venue talking to fans, signing autographs, and taking pictures. She was so likable and quite frankly, such a badass. That badass-ery that she brings to the stage also continues to her personality. Her fuck-the-haters attitude that comes out in her songs, lyrics, and delivery is totally genuine. She’s featured on Iggy Azalea’s upcoming single “Beg For It,” so I can only assume that this gal’s going to keep getting bigger and better.
Check her out stuff on Spotify here! Here are a few pictures from the show, including one from when I got to meet her after the show!!!!
Look at us!!! We’re basically besties now.
