You know those thoughts you’re too embarrassed to admit you had? If yours are anything like mine, then Peach PRC probably mellifluously sang them over glittering pop chords and made them beautiful.

Peach PRC performed on September 25, 2025 at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, New York. From the opening moment of her eponymously-titled tour, Peach PRC set the tone with calming, shimmering music. She immediately made sure to showcase her guitarist, the only other person on stage during the show. The attentive crowd easily filled the venue, excitedly engaging with Peach during the entire set.

The vibes of Peach’s shows are ultra-femme bubblegum pop that obfuscate the artist’s filthy musings or candid mental health confessions. Peach, who has synesthesia, perfectly captures the colors of her music for her audience, allowing those of us who don’t have it to see as well as hear her music as she bathes the stage in swirling pink and purple light. She creates an entire world working with little more than lighting, smoke, and a perfectly sparkling fairy outfit.

There’s a rebellious spirit to everything she sings, whether that be questioning institutions or being blunt about mental health struggles in a way that defies the Western expectation that stoicism means strength.

Peach opened the show with “Perfect for You,” a song that samples Paris Hilton’s 2006 singles “Stars are Blind” and “Nothing in this World.” Her usage and retelling of these songs feel like a reclamation of the 2000s vitriol toward hyper femininity, or “bimbo culture.” She followed with some of her older hits, including “Colourblind,” where the lighting perfectly changed as her lyrics cycled through the colors of the rainbow, and “Symptomatic,” which she lovingly proclaimed was for her “crazy bitches on meds.” (Present!) Her resonance perfectly changed from airy to belting to fit each song, and her belting voice was surprisingly powerful in person.

Peach then sang one of my favorite recent releases; “Sweet n’ Low.” If you’re not paying attention, “Sweet n’ Low” is a deceptively sweet pop hit that cheekily camouflages its meaning with witty puns and intelligent wordplay.

In a slight shift from pure joy, Peach announced her next song, “Favorite Person,” by admitting to past behavior as a reaction to not being loved the way she wanted to be. Peach proves there’s power in self-awareness, knowing she used therapy speak to protect herself, which ended up hurting her more.

Peach continued the slower pace with “Loved You Before,” a silly and sincere song about soulmates. Peach set the scene gently by speaking low and playing the Omnichord. In a choreographed moment at the bridge, the crowd held up paper signs with moons that included the song’s lyrics. The moment seemed particularly meaningful to Peach and was an example of the crowd’s engagement with the messages in her music.

The pace of the show immediately changed as a sleazy announcer ordered us to get our tipping dollars ready, and Peach slinked toward the pink stripper pole. An homage to her sex worker days, Peach now reclaims the set and uses the medium to move the way she wants. Do the moves look the same as those she performed in the club? Maybe. But does the crowd? No. It was beautiful to see the crowd celebrate her movement rather than desire it.

This dance was punctuated by “Like A Girl Does,” an incredibly fun 2000s pop song that subverts the genre and proclaims the depth of Sapphic love, especially in comparison to the shallowness of compulsive heterosexuality. The message of this song is especially cathartic to those whose sexualities have been questioned by men who said they could “change them.” The placement of this song felt pointed, like it was a message to lascivious gazes and lack of humanity projected onto her in strip clubs.

In an unapologetic reflection on her life thus far, Peach then sang “Time of My Life.” The crowd cheered and jumped in time, celebrating reckless pasts and reveling in the good and bad that brought us to this present moment.

Peach closed the show with her subversive hit “God is a Freak,” and, to no one’s surprise, the crowd was loudest during this song. A send up of the typical Christian family that doesn’t understand their own religion. Peach began the song with an impromptu turn around the pole, then stood steadfast in the middle of the stage as the cross image projected behind her perfectly exploded into rainbow birds at the height of the chorus.

Peach kept the mood of her setlist light, with the only slower moments occurring during “‘Favorite Person”’ and “‘I Loved You Before.:’ Regardless of her reason for doing so, the choice felt like a fitting reaction to the current political climate where LGBTQ rights are being targeted.

To experience Peach’s show is to be immersed in a euphoric bubblegum pop sound while bravely confronting difficult issues. It goes a bit deeper than “dance while you cry” music and ventures into “shamelessly admit to your imperfections and struggles while celebrating your worthwhile existence.” The crowd was joyous, the show was beautiful, and thanks to Peach’s iconic style, the night will be remembered in everything pink.
