At Trójka, it reached us for the first time, and the performance made it possible to realize, on some emotional level, what this song is truly about. It was performed, sung, and accompanied by the guitar, of course, in a beautiful and entertaining way, but that was all. People who witnessed many of LP’s performances at festivals between 20, and that means dozens of times she sang “Into The Wild,” will confirm that, usually, the degree of LP’s emotional immersion in that song wasn’t too big. It’s worth mentioning how special “Into The Wild” performed at Trójka was. The spot-on understanding between LP and JD here makes you shiver: a split second before the first note of the song, JD says in a very low but steady voice “Go!” and they start together – LP with her powerful, high, penetrating sound, and JD with energetic beats. Her singing is always clear, but this time it’s crystal clear. Somehow, LP’s operatic singing transfixes every cell of your body. “Strange” doesn’t leave anyone uninvolved right from the first notes. And what finally gets you is the almost whispered bridge, backed by just a very gentle support from JD’s guitar.
That explosive mix of anxiety and soothing sounds goes through all the song.

And right after that they pass on to the next part, with its soothing beats full of harmony. The arrangement contributed a lot to creating that effect, especially in the first chorus where LP sings in a low key, and JD Carrera on the guitar adds rhythmically one high note. She started the concert in the usual way, with “Muddy Waters,” building the strain and calling for attention. As fun as the conversation was, the experienced host succeeded in keeping his guest within his limits and didn’t let her subject him to her will. Looking her straight in the eyes, he said “LP is sexy,” making her visibly puzzled. Piotr Metz, without shifting an eyebrow, took up the challenge with the very first words of his interview.
Knowing that, one can just imagine the gauntlet is always there, and whoever dares to pick it up becomes the adversary in an electric dialogue. She doesn’t refuse to answer questions, but the interviewers never know when the gauntlet will be thrown down to them, or when LP, just being subtly spiteful as usual, will perform some trick on them. The evening started with a short onstage conversation. This time Piotr Metz, who presented LP to the audience, cited what she said during the soundcheck a while before the concert: “I feel like, in this place, I can show what I’m capable of.” And boy, did she deliver! If we tried to compare the concert at Trójka to something, it would surely be to her Harvard & Stone live sessions.

LP had reportedly said during her previous, short visit in Radio Trójka, in August 2016, that she felt great in the Studio. It was perhaps the most mindful show of all LP performances we’ve seen. LP was focused on her act exclusively – her emotions, her music and lyrics she didn’t interact with the public while singing and, strangely, it felt like she had decided to open up this very way. It’s a rarity to see an artist sing with such attention and care. During that particular concert every verse she sang resembled a work of art – created, prepared, thought through exactly for that moment.
