It will be remembered. And not only will the young girls who mostly filled the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona in the first of the only two concerts that Billie Eilish offered in Spain. They will do it, among other things, because Billie represents them and sings about the problems they themselves have, dissatisfaction, insecurity, aspirations, fragility, fears or restlessness, and also does not from the pulpit of the stars, but with the naturalness of a 23 -year -old girl who does not seem substantial to her friends. Wide sportswear that was not changed, basketball pants, beads, a cap that went and went, long hair collected in a braid and races from the stage that showed joy and youth dynamism. At the same time, security to be seen without the diva, still on stage, smiling and receiving applause and a ductile voice, with dramatic depth and caressing through the whisper. His was his superb concert that showed the chiaroscuros of life.
It was not a magnificent show only for music, the scenic presence, light and the powerful of Billie Eilish and the excellent interpretation of his songs, but also by a dazzling show of exquisite taste and a fascinating luminosity. With the rectangular scenario located in the middle of the track, whose ground was also projection space, the musicians in two pits that she visited making them partakers of the scenic prominence even recording them with a camera, a screen that formed a huge cube or was fractional on individual screens topped a diaphanous space on which they descended and ascended towers with lights and lasters that could also welcome projections. But as in the music of Eilish, nothing was exaggerated, there was no grandiloquence or search for the result due to mere accumulation of effects, but sent subtlety and touch, the same with which she sang ballads like When the party’s over either Wildflowerissues whose voice caresses with the dim tone of the thoughts that are housed in a room in solitude, as she did singing sitting on stage, all blank, ending lying as when intimate problems only find the reflection of the roof on the bed. Ballads like those that sounded in the final stretch of the concert, Whats Wat I Made For and Happier than Everor in half, with two vocalists on stage and her and her guitar, Your power and Skinnythey do not detach sugar but vulnerability, an empathic bridge with their followers.
The concert was very variad The Gretaestor like when Bury A Friendless intimidating and dark than on the album, everything turned red in a Sant Jordi with all the covered windows so that only the light of the stage would send without the interference of the sunset that was reigned. There was exciting dance with Guessthe piece that sings to the alimon with Charli XCX and that turned everything into green, the color of Brator in Oxytocinwhen everything turned red, with the venue and the fire that sprouted from the scene warming faces.
There was time to remember Los Angeles’ disturbances through a speech in which she referred the violent turbulence of this world that in the background, emotionally, reflects in her songs. If it started with Chihiro concluded with Birds of A Featherin a very complete show, an ode to pop that showed an superb interpreter capable of varying record depending on the issues. Drama and vivacity. It is not surprising that this show was short that was more colorful than the one she starred in 2,019 in the same enclosure. It was a show at the height that will undoubtedly be one of the best concerts of the year. In the city that has just seen Charli XCX, Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter.
