The statement, playful and self-aware, elicited a ripple of laughter from the audience, who appreciated both her humor and the gesture of performing the entire album. The setlist flowed seamlessly, each song building on the last with an intensity and rawness that only deepened as the night progressed. Mayberry’s voice was the anchor throughout the performance, soaring over sweeping synths and pulsating beats, making each lyric feel intensely personal, while also universal in its themes.
