Opening for Billy Bragg at the Town Hall in New York, Alice Phoebe Lou checked in with a set of songs that displayed her poetic finesse and melodic precision.
The South African-born singer/songwriter—whose song “She” was shortlisted for an Oscar for Best Original Song—is a captivating performer, her voice a study of stillness and light.
Numbers like “Girl On An Island” and “Witches” were notable highlights, while “Underworld” and “How To Get Out Of Love” cascaded with intensity and real beauty.
