Caught the 10 pm and second performance of Grimes at the Esplanade Theatre Studio. Did not understand why there is a long queue to enter the venue. During non Mosaic Festival period, entry was pretty smooth and fast even for sold out performances.
My impression of Grimes was the atmospheric or ambient-type songs that she sang. For the concert, her focus was more electro-dance base. Understand that it was the direction for her new album Visions.
There were only 4 performers on stage: Grimes, another musician plus 2 dancers from Singapore. Grimes held the attention of the audience very well, at times busy with both the keyboards/ synthesizers and her singing. She had a very girl-like and amiable personality, spoke very fast, which endeared her to the crowd. She had a good voice, and performed songs such as "Vanessa", "Genesis" and "Oblivion".
It was an hour's performance which was the right length. Grimes said that she would not have an encore but would perform her "encoure" as her last piece. It was an enjoyable concert, and let' see if Grimes could scale the next level of pop stardom. She had the right credentials.
