The second day of rock in the Seine could have become disappointment. A month before his performance, at $ Ap Rocky – Star announced this Thursday, August 21, he had canceled his arrival. Two days before the event, it was rapper Doechii announced its absence, leaving a bitter taste for the festival attendees. You just have to count the number of disappointed fans who have chosen to be reimbursed for their tickets, and the little crowd in front of the main scene, that day.
Therefore, the festival bet a lot to Kid Cudi’s performance. Scheduled at the head of the night, to replace a $ Ap Rocky, therefore, Cleveland’s rapper was expected in the turn by his French fans. Unfortunately, he left them hungry.
For the only French date of his tour and his second visit to Rock in Seine (the first date of 2011), the 41 -year -old artist arrived, only on stage, the leather jacket and Nirvana’s shirt on the shoulders, with a screen for a screen, transmitting clips of him.
A very minimalist staging, if not cheap, which gives rise to confusing moments, especially when Kid Cudi is forced to replace his microphone between the songs himself, leaving a target at the audience.
An unequal repertoire
Despite some sound problems and a fairly soft start for the concert, Kid Cudi quickly lifts the bar thanks to its interactions with the public, playing with those attending the front festival. At the end of Day dayBadge title of his discography, one of the spectators challenges the rapper to ask him to play the song again. The rapper runs, generously.
Kid Cudi also takes advantage of rock in Sena to reveal live Neverland, Severe AND Mr. MilagroTitles extracted from your new album Freethat leaves this Friday, August 22. Pieces that, unfortunately, fight to convince.
Between two recent productions, the artist does not abandon his fans of the first hour, interpreting cult songs – Man on the moon, Prayer, Soundtrack 2 My life – Who makes us (finally) find your unique universe?
An abbreviated ending
If Kid Cudi has been established in its early days as a figure in the Hip-Hop culture, it is thanks to its sincere and introspective pen and its music, to horcajadas on rap, rock and electro. He arrived at the music scene in the early 2000s, with the support of Kanye West, he was one of the few artists of his generation to put his failures in the center of his art filtering his anxiety, his depression or his addictions. With this audacity, he was noticeably raided the way for a new generation of introspective rappers, from XXXTentacion to WRLD juice through Travis Scott.
In front of the rock audience in Seina, Kid Cudi tells how music helped him get up in difficult times, and how his listeners could meet and feel supported through his texts.
But these exchanges too numerous with the public end up harmful to him. Forced to shorten his list of songs for lack of time, the artist finally ends his concert in a steep manner with Happiness searchLeaving aside the other most anticipated successes of the night: Mr. Rager EITHER Memories, His cult duo with David Guetta. One more disappointment. Nostalgic fans will only have to listen to Kid Cudi albums to comfort.
