It is your job to save the future and Rob Broderick is here to help. Music has been oversaturated and numbed in this dystopian artificial world, so we must come together to create some fresh new hits.
Broderick is the representative of this mission and with his high energy he convenes with the audience to create a multitude of songs in a variety of genres. Broderick finds members of the crowd that are willing to tell their stories about love, loss and minor inconveniences and as a free-styling extraordinaire, he turns them into certified bangers. These songs, that would compete in the top forty, are entirely original and hilariously incorporate the lives of the audience members. Never would I expect a song about muffins selling out to be so hilarious. He’s witty, exciting, and so fast on his feet. The hooks are enticing, and the bars hit just about every time.
Broderick’s musical talent is beyond impressive, but he is more than just a rapper. His crowd work is impeccable, and he truly is a phenomenally entertaining performer. His banter with people highlights what a natural talent Rob is, a truly funny man.
All the while the quality of the visuals and music mixing is just striking. The screen projects AI generated images that go along with the current theme. I can’t say I’d ever seen Ed Sheeran as a cyborg before, but I have now! This show opens up avenues for so much creativity with the help of technology and with such a great host, the sky is the limit.
It’s an innovative and fun story that blankets an unbelievably impressive and engaging show. And if these are the songs we have left for the future, then the raves are in pretty good hands.
