Material: Celebrating the launch of her latest album, Slang Spirituals, Lady Blackbird played a fabulous almost 90-minute set at West Hollywood’s Sun Rose. With a vibey tense instrumental intro announcing her arrival, Blackbird covered hit songs from 2022’s Black Acid Soul, Moby collaboration “Dark Days,” Gladys Knight and Roberta Flack/Donny Hathaway covers, and selections from the new album. Enigmatic and soulful, Blackbird offers a captivating showcase of music for music’s sake, and she holds the audience spellbound.
