![]() ![]() As one of the reviewers said: She smiled, and then giggled, and then tore the house down.© 2012 WMG \"Halo\" by Beyonce, performed by LP, live at EastWest Studios. ![]() Lucky people in The Viper Room who got to witness that jaw dropping performance in person. Because what else can be said when LP gives a show off performance with a song that challenging, beer in hand, vocals on command. Instead there are pyrotechnics, fireworks and, pretty much, human cannonballs, let’s just say that. Nature needs balance, though – hence yet another spectacular “Halo” by LP, with no fairy lights whatsoever. And when you immerse yourself into the song, after about half a minute you can almost forget that, in fact, it’s the three of them in front of the mic: LP, Trevor, and a radio host squeezed in the middle. She made every ending of each line so fine that we rewound those ten seconds several times for this elusive state of mind: fairy lights, embroidery, sublimity. Vocally, she takes your breath away, not only with her power, but probably even more when she sings in low keys. It’s such a pleasure to watch them play together. But not this time, he simply nails it here. We love his part, especially that – although he is remarkably talented – the way Trevor used to play LP’s songs is sometimes a bit controversial for us in terms of the arrangement. Secondly, she’s accompanied by Trevor Menear, with his melodic guitar sounding so tenderly here. And we’ve missed that small Martin guitar, and its distinctive sound, ever since LP replaced it with a different one earlier this year. First, LP sings the song, but plays the guitar as well! We don’t think we’ve ever seen her perform “Halo” with a guitar elsewhere. We had to see it again, and then another time.
