Despite the surprising and torrential rain, a devoted crowd made their way out to our 350 Broadway location, and the glowing magenta storefront was temporarily transformed into an intimate performance space for the arresting Carrie Wilds. I’m sure you remember Carrie’s self-titled mixtape was recently released on ????? Records, and she was performing her material in front of a live audience for the very first time. After a quick set by Butterz’ Elijah, it was time for Ms. Wilds to take the stage, flanked by her lithe backup dancers. Burning through a collection of highlights from her mixtape, Carrie put the audience under her trance, her powerful vocals reverberating through the small space over pounding beats curated by DJ Shiftee and spun by Elijah. As far as debuts go, it’s hard to ask for more. Check footage from the show above, shot by Matthew Caron and Craig Sordyl, and see pics over at Noisey. – Whole Milk
