Tyler the Creator, made two invisible appearances, once at the beginning of the show during See You Again and at the end for After The Storm, where raindrops fell across the screen. Amongst a multitude of viral hits, she incorporated tunes from 10% with Kaytranda, Get You with Daniel Caesar, and Fue Mejor with SZA. Illuminated in red fluorescent lights, she encapsulated the building with a breathtaking live performance of the newest single Moonlight.

The smooth rotations between lyrics in English and Spanish proved her extensive talents and position as a staple generational artist within R&B, soul, and hip hop. One segment of her concert featured a merry-go-round of reggaeton covers including Lorna’s Papi Chulo, El General’s No Me Trates De Engañar, and Salvaje by Don Omar and Héctor el Father.

Fan’s extensive love for Uchis was returned by her, as she paused to tend to listeners, even throwing water bottles from the stage. At one point, a fan was plucked from the crowd, sat on stage in Uchis’ throne, and dazzled by the queen herself. Heart to hearts were shared between listeners and her, as she offered insightful life advice before letting the music articulate similar themes. 

Showers of delicate beauty fell on listeners' eyes and ears once more as Wish You Roses rang out. Enthralled in a dream-like state, fans hurled lyrics back to the stage as screens filled with ethereal images of flower fields. Soon after, a metaphoric shower brushed the stage and dancers picked up Uchis to wrap up her set- or so fans thought. Chimes of a prompting encore brought her back minutes later to officially end in lights of cool tones for the Blue finale. 

Before Kali Uchis shook the stage her opener RAYE graced fans with her bubbly, down-to-earth presence, also relaying profound advice. Correspondingly, she too had a regal performance, undertaking the stage theme of classic elegance. Dressed completely in white, RAYE and her baking band played a wide array of songs, including Ice Cream Man., Black Masacara, and of course, viral hit Escapism. 

The evening’s two performances presented a perfect mixture of passion, with mesmerizing range and gut-wrenching tracks. It was an empowering night for the audience, to have their souls stirred by powerful anthems and hearts tenderly caressed. Per usual, Uchis’ awe-striking aura and spinning whirlwind of hits left listeners in a gripping trance. Now, fans can only keep their fingers crossed that she will return home in the near future. Come back soon, the DMV misses you.
