DOWNLOAD MP3: Citizen Cope – “Healing Hands”
Kicking off a three night, sold-out stand at the Bowery Ballroom in New York, Citizen Cope brought his neo-soul, Jazz infused sound to the stage last night, with very little compromise to offer. As soon as Cope stepped out into the limelight, cries from his adulating fans poured out, encompassing the entire, tightly packed venue.
Cope’s show saw him and his band touching on every album from his three album back catalog, but it wasn’t until he played such favorites as “Bullet and a Target” and “107 Degrees” — the latter with the assistance of his opener Alice Smith, whose vocal ranges was otherworldly — that Cope really showed how effortless the music came to him. Even through a cover of Neil Young’s “Out on the Weekend” Cope was able to sustain a folk essence without sounding unfamiliar or out of place.
