Remi Wolf – The New Yorker
May
Remi Wolf is pretty far off from the typical pop artist’s trajectory, and even further from a centrist sound. A junior Olympic skier and “American Idol” reject with a prickly voice and a snarky disposition, the Palo Alto native studied music at U.S.C. before committing to a style she dubbed “funky soul pop,” going viral on TikTok, in 2020, with the groovy and absurd single “Photo ID.” “Juno,” the major-label début that followed, seized the moment with haywire hits that seemed to bounce off the walls of a synth fun house. In July, she returned even more self-assured with her second album, “Big Ideas,” which displays the indisputable chops of a sharp and amusing songwriter who is as quirky as she is crafty.(Kings Theatre; Sept. 30-Oct. 2.)
