For me, Joywave's set was pretty decent and edgy, but I have to admit I am fairly unfamiliar with that sound. Nonetheless, a nice and new discovery for me, although the mix was a tad too loud IMO. In comparison, Emmy's performance started slow and much more introspective. It took a while, I felt, for her to find the right balance, although she instantly knew how to address and connect with the audience. The loud talk in the background was unfortunate. The second half of Emmy's show, and particularly the encore, first solo, then with the band and Mr Hynes (thanks for identifying him for me!), was superb. Overall a good first concert night for me in NYC. Thank you for your concert review. For me, Joywave’s set was pretty decent and edgy, but I have to admit I am fairly unfamiliar with that sound.

I never even realised, huh. I enjoyed the set, although even more First Love stuff would've been nice as well. Big shame about the talking during the set, I agree, it was a bit painful at times.

Enjoyed the Island In The Sun cover and the Devonte Hynes cameo. I wouldn't get too upset about the openers talking at the bar after they played, though. Looked like they were accosted by A&R folks during Emmy's set. This was a New York show after all, so that's pretty common. Thought they were great as well. Agree, Emmy’s set was very good.
