Concert Addicts: "Cruel Youth is headed for big things"
Quote:
Right before Kiiara came on, a band called Cruel Youth played. After a somewhat speckled past, Teddy Sinclair (lead singer) dropped her alter-ego, Natalia Kills, to create Cruel Youth. Though only time will tell if this move will be beneficial to her (and her fans). Hopefully, the public can let go of Sinclair’s past indiscretions; because, based on Cruel Youth’s talented performance the other night, I think they’re headed for big things.
The new group (Sinclair, along with Lucy Graves and Lauren Stockner) is something totally unique, and yet familiar at the same time. What makes Cruel Youth unique is their sound, which is very much their own. Their sound features solid beats, with a grungier feel at times, but also a lighter feel too. The familiarity comes with Sinclair’s voice, which is sultry, low and raspy; akin to the late Amy Winehouse.
My favourite part of their performance was their second to last song, “Hate****”, which Sinclair stated is her favourite song as well. After the song ended, she explained it was about her ex and added the interesting irony of it being a “beautiful song for such a ****ing ugly person”; #truth.
