Concert Review: Lana Del Rey
If I had to name a hobby, I would say going to concerts is definitely a hobby of mine. I love the energy of enjoying your favorite artist and being surrounded by other people who also love that artist. My first concert was the Jonas Brothers and I will never forget that day! It was a free concert in Central Park, my mom and I woke up at 5 in the morning to wait for them. It was the best day of my teenage life. As I grow older and don't know what saving money is, I keep going to shows with my cousin because I don't have friends that stick around too long or enjoy the same music as me!
The Lana Del Rey concert was everything that I wanted and needed in life. A cute boy sat in front of us, a had a jack and coke in my hand, and my lip gloss was popping! ( hey, Fenty beauty!) Her opening act was Kali Uchis. Let me tell you, listening to her music was an experience I didn't know I was looking for. Her sultry vocals and baby-making music were like drinking pina coladas in Hawaii with a cute boy who loves you and respects you. She reminded me of Selena Quintanilla and Cardi. B with her long hair and beautiful smile that was as bright as the stage lights. Some of her songs were in Spanish and non-Spanish speakers were shook!
During the intermission, everyone was smoking weed and I wasn't ready! I guess that's how they party in New Jersey! The Prudential Center wasn't my favorite to be completely honest. It felt packed and empty at the same time! I don't think I'll go back. Maybe if One Direction got back together and the only concert they were doing was at the Prudential Center. Well maybe.
When Lana came out I felt like my soul left my body. I was told there would be two opening acts, she came out right after Kali and it was my turn to be shook. She opened with 13 Beaches off her new album Lust For Life. I'm not totally familiar with her new album but I know most of her songs so I was good. Her stage and production team were truly a work of art. Every song had its own theme and they also played clips of the music videos. Her stage looked like a perfect beach vacation with striped beach chairs, sand, and palm trees. The dancers kept throwing merch into the crowd and I've never seen that before!
Hearing my favorite songs live made me go home and binge all her albums. Her love for her fans was shown through every song she sang. Every time she spoke to the crowd it was like she was having a conversion with you. I know artist are trained to do this but it was different with her. After the show, she hopped off the stage and had a mini meet greet with the people who had floor seats. People gave her gifts while her band kept playing music and that was so cool!
