Concert Review: Watsky Sets Fire to Covington's Madison Theater
In 2009, a rapper named George Watsky released his first album, self-titled "Watsky." Four years later, he dropped his second album, "Cardboard Castles," which was an instant hit with his most popular song, "Sloppy Seconds."
Watsky isn't one of those mainstream rap artists who sings about girls' butts or vulgar topics. He sings with real emotion. One of his lyrics is "Truth be told I'm unlikely to hold you down, /'Cause my soul is a crowded subway train, and people keep deciding to get on the next one that rolls through town."
Recently, he performed at the Madison Theatre in Convington. The audience's energy was high in anticipation for him to come on stage. Even though Watsky raps incredibly fast with tongue twister lyrics, his fans sang every word.
Watsky was so involved with his audience it was incredible. He crowd surfed more than three times, grabbed hands constantly and even gave some people hugs. Watsky never let up during his concert and always gave his songs 100 percent with much emotion.
Watsky performed an encore song after the crowd cheered his name for five minutes. The best part of the whole night was when Watsky came out after the concert was finished to meet his fans, take pictures, and sign shirts. He seemed very excited and willing to interact with his fans, a trait that is hard to find in some artists these days.
Watsky is here to stay for a long time.
