Show was solid. She had a very welcome crowd in Chicago, which made it a great atmosphere. Unfortunately the mix was quite bad for most the night; her voice is so thin and it was barely audible at times. Meanwhile the bass drum was turned wayyyy up for some reason. Nevertheless I really enjoyed hearing the new album’s songs live. It is her most accessible and straightforward, and everything translated really well. Highlight was a cover of Paramore’s “That’s What You Get.” She also slipped into Imogen Heap’s “Hide and Seek” at one point; can’t recall if that’s from HEAVN? She has a lovely and giving vibe and presence, talking openly about her personal growth and the lessons that inspired her writing. I was very glad she performed “I Miss All My Exes” which is one of my favorite moments on the album and maybe the best example of her unique talents.
