I hate playing the comparison games, but I was getting some vintage multi-platinum Debbie Gibson vibes if Debbie Gibson had an extra serving of soul. Her performance was bright and delightful and was a joy to watch. It’s got a modern pop/R&B gloss, but it really feels rooted in some late 80s/early 90’s sonic motifs. Second, I absolutely loved the style of her music. It’s crystalline clear and totally fits the underlying music she sings over. I was right.įirst off, I absolutely loved the timbre of Mỹ Anh’s voice. Wearing a brightly colored, and comfortable-looking, fleece pullover, I immediately got the sense that her music would be giving us those same kinds of bright, cheery, and gentle feels as well. The first act to perform on Sunday was the Vietnamese singer Mỹ Anh.

In fact, whether 88rising intended it or not, this may have been the first music festival I’ve attended where the number of female acts outnumbered the male acts. The women at Head In The Clouds may not have headlined, but they certainly were the crown jewel. While I was duly impressed with the level of fanaticism that the young male acts stoked, it was the women who not only held their own with their own fanatics but also really really dazzled me with their musicality. Taking a step back and taking a macro view of the festival, I wanted to note that I was particularly impressed with all of the women that were curated to perform for the weekend. I already anticipated that it would be a day of discovery for me, as I was only familiar with 4 (of the 14) acts that would be gracing one of the Head In The Clouds stages. LOS ANGELES, CA- With day one of Head In The Clouds being jam-packed with a ton of amazing performances, I eagerly made my way to the festival grounds the following day to soak in what day two would offer.
