.” As weeks became months while trapped inside, the genre-hopping LP gave listeners an audio passport, effortlessly jumping from Gaga-style pop to the late ’90s guitar chug of Korn on singles like “STFU!” and “XS.
Cut to 2022 and her “Dynasty” tour, which wrapped up with a sold-out Friday show at New York’s Terminal 5 and feels like a victory lap from an artist whose fame hit while no one left the house.
Flanked by two dancers, a guitar player and drummer, Rina controlled the room with the confidence of a pro running a greatest hits setlist, not a breakout artist touring her first full-length. Opener “Dynasty” unleashed screaming and chanting from the audience so deafening that Sawayama paused several times between songs, seemingly overwhelmed by her faithful fans and unable to find a lull to begin the next song.
Sawayama’s stage presence and costume changes evoked ’90s idols like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, with plenty of throwback choreography, and one butterfly crop top / low rise jeans combo that felt like a time machine back to Carson Daly-era “TRL.” Despite dancing nonstop, her vocals still sounded crisp, even on some of the more nuanced vocal runs and high notes.
After an encore consisting of her clubbiest songs, “Lucid” and the Gaga collaboration “Free Woman,” Sawayama announced that next week will be the start of her new pop era. If “Catch Me in the Air” — a soaring anthem of a new song she previewed earlier in the night — is any indication, it will be just as triumphant as the “Dynasty” tour.
