The singer underlined his affection for artists with little in common: he covered a Neil Young song (a ghostly "Harvest Moon") in honor of the "folksy, Americana, country" vibe of the room, and another by Bjork, in which he remade the Icelandic artist's "Come to Me" by turning his voice into a percussion instrument. He lavished earnest praise on country-pop singer Faith Hill and rapper Cardi B. Yet his music sounded like none of those artists. Instead he spent an hour creating his own insular world, a kind of ambient soul music that at times sounded only a step or two from despair. But there was nothing histrionic or self-pitying about Sumney's performance. Instead he offered reveries of unfiltered truth, his voice swooning and seducing, yet remaining somehow unapproachable.
