Enter the digital escape that is the world of Sophie Powers, an artist who is true to themselves and creates a one-of-a-kind experience for her fans. The young artist recently set out on her first headline tour and the first stop was a sold-out show at the Moroccan Lounge in Los Angeles. The entire night was a hyper-pop delight, and Powers certainly put on a great show. Not only was Sophie Powers spectacular that night, but openers Ava Morse and Zoe Ko were fierce and knew how to warm up a crowd. The first show of a tour is always the most exciting because you don’t know what to expect, but Sophie Powers definitely hit the mark with this performance and the whole night was so lively.
The Moroccan Lounge has such a nice and dark ambiance when you first enter, it’s a classic venue that’s perfect to start off your first headline tour. As previously mentioned, openers Ava Morse and Zoe Ko were a great start to the night, both with great stage presence. Before entering the stage, Powers has an opening sequence play that makes audiences feel as if they are entering a video game, allowing fans to choose what character to play as. It’s a cool way to start the show and so true to Powers’ style. Speaking of style, not only is Powers a performer, but she is also a designer. For all the videos she posts and shows she does, she designs her own outfits that make her look like she just came out of a comic book. Her aesthetic is very defined and that’s such a cool thing to see in an artist. Additionally, during some of her performances of the night, we got to see background dancers on stage which only enhanced Sophie Powers’ main character aura.
Throughout the show, fans got to jam out to some of Sophie Powers' hits. “Bathroom Floor” is a fun fast-paced track that certainly had fans hyped to hear live. “Obsessed” is another great hit that had a mosh pit growing in the audience, only making the experience more entertaining. Powers’ cover of Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” is such a hyped version of the original and her bringing an audience member to the stage to serenade them in the last half of the song was a nice touch. “Woah!!” is another fun one to experience in real life and also had the crowd forming pits and jumping consistently. Her cover of Nirvana’s “Heart-Shaped Box” was highlighted because it’s a track that people who may be unfamiliar with Powers’ music in the crowd to sing along to. A personal favorite moment of mine during the show was getting to hear “Awesome” live as that is my favorite song by Sophie Powers. She finished off her show with “Greed” which was an excellent choice as that song is so easy to just completely rock out to. After the show, Sophie Powers stayed at the merch table saying hi and taking pictures with fans until the venue kicked everyone out, and then she continued to take pictures with fans outside. It’s nice to see a young artist be so happy to interact with her fans.
What Sophie Powers has done so well is she has created her own world that brings life to her music from multiple dimensions. Her online persona shows how dedicated she is to this work and how much she is willing to give to become the artist she is. She certainly is growing high, and one can only expect her to create bigger and better things from now on. Her Los Angeles show was a great start to the tour and defined what the rest of the tour would look like, an energetic experience that feels like you’re living in a video game. If you ever get the chance to go to a Sophie Powers show, do not miss it, it’s so worth your time to be surrounded by people who know how to let loose and completely themselves.
