With just two nights remaining on the North American tour in support of her fourth long-player, the pop- and R&B-filled Venus, Swedish singer-songwriter Zara Larsson had everyone dancing along last night at a sold-out Webster Hall.

After making a name for himself with Fortnite videos and TikTok, precocious teen D4vd — born in Queens, raised in Houston — dropped his first EP, the pop- and R&B-filled Petals to Thorns, about six weeks ago. And on Saturday night at Music Hall of Williamsburg, he put on his first of three local shows.

Jungle’s fourth LP, Volcano, dropped in August to rave reviews. And the English dance outfit came to Queens on Saturday to close out the North American leg of their world tour at Forest Hills Stadium.

Jessie Ware burst onto the scene briefly with a 2011 collab single with Sampha and then in a more profound way when her first full-length, Devotion, arrived a year later. “The South London singer Jessie Ware is a devout realist making the most of her pop-star dreams,” raves Pitchfork. “Her commitment to both sides of that equation is what turns her debut album into a uniquely soulful master class.” This past April, more than a decade later, she delivered another stunner with That! Feels Good!. “A true, forward-facing pop visionary,” says NME. “Ware’s finest album of her career is a transformative experience, an outlandishly good record that allows her to let loose.” And with her North American tour winding down, the disco-pop star (and podcast host) let loose at a sold-out Terminal 5 on Saturday night.

Declan McKenna – Brooklyn Steel – July 20, 2023

With a highly anticipated third studio album in the works, Declan McKenna is out on an extensive world tour this year. And the recently launched second leg brought the English singer-songwriter to a packed Brooklyn Steel on Thursday night.

On December 31st in the Meatpacking District, there was a double-dip party for New Year’s Eve and to celebrate Racket’s very first birthday with a little help from the likes of Brooklyn’s Model/Actriz alongside Baths and Alice Glass.
