In Ich bin ein Belinda, Belinda Hanne Reid takes us on a tour of the various personas that bake up Bel. As much as I’m predisposed to like anyone who busts out Jeff Blumenkrants’s ‘I Won’t Mind’, Reid had me well before this number. And of course, her mashup of Sia’s ‘Chandelier’ and Nine Inch Nails’ ‘Closer’ is absolutely masterful.

Reid is a consummate performer, taking everything in her stride. It was nothing short of a pleasure getting to know her parts.
