However you feel about her, Azealia Banks dazzled.
To be a fan of Azealia Banks in 2022 is to engage in a tightrope of cognitive dissonance, hercomplicated by just how good she is at this whole music thing. Whatever you think about her, Banks is a consummate performer — and over the course of the evening at her headlining Noise Pop show at the Warfield on Sunday, she dazzled, again and again.
Her take on “Heavy Metal and Reflective,” already a menacing, steel-encased song on record, was punishing live — nearly broaching heavy metal with severe drums and riffs. On a song like “Gimme a Chance,” where salsa instrumentation and Banks singing fully in Spanish melds with house-tinged hip-hop, a live horn section further established just how exacting her musical vision is. Not only did she do “212,” but she enlivened her signature hit with live drums.
At one point, midway through performing “1991,” she stopped the music entirely — seemingly struck with a thought she couldn’t escape from. She started chatting with the DJ about an unreleased song she had just recorded.
