Moses Sumney has spent the past two years promoting his stellar 2020 album græ, and now it’s time for him to take a hiatus from music as he focuses on other projects. Before he moves on for the time being, however, the musician is gearing up to release a live concert film called A Performance in V Acts, which will debut in full on Wednesday, August 31st via YouTube.
As a preview, Sumney has shared a cover of Björk’s “Come to Me” from his October 31st, 2021 performance at the Ford Theater in Los Angeles. Rocking a suit jacket with ornate ruffles and a skirt, the artist stripped down the 1993 track to primarily a bassline and a smattering of synths. After inducing goosebumps with his vocals, Sumney entered the crowd midway through the performance and made audience members swoon as he handed out flowers.

“A Performance in V Acts marks the official end of the græ album cycle,” Sumney said about the film made in partnership with YouTube’s Black Voices Fund. “It’s a capsule of our headline show since we will not be touring the album after all. This film also ushers in a new period of creativity for me — one in which I take a continued break from making albums and touring music to focus on other disciplines.”
Just a few days ago, Sumney was announced as a new cast member on The Weeknd and Euphoria creator Sam Levinson’s upcoming HBO series The Idol. In February, the singer contributed to the soundtrack for the Michelle Yeoh-starring film Everything Everywhere All at Once after dropping his Live from Blackalachia album last November.
