Kwabs live is nothing short of celestial. He took to the stage and hypnotised eyes were trained on him like we were his faithful congregation and he was singing the truth. During his set, the crowd alternated between cries of "YAAAS" and moments of appreciative silence. It may have something to do with his gospel-infused voice of silk that rolls over your head, or his tales of the last days. Either way, it was spiritual.
He unleashed songs from his Pray For Love EP (available for pre-order here), revealing face-crumpling, head-nodding hits, fuelled by a little african rhythm and a lot of kick drum. Showing that the heart-wrenching soul of 'Last Stand' and 'Spirit Fade' isn't all that he can do.
His dancing isn't to be missed either. Whether he stretches his arms to greet the audience, locks and drops or just gets down like an African uncle who catches the beat, he gets into the groove no matter the mood. A quick glance around the audience confirmed that the feeling was reciprocated.
Listen to Something Right from his forthcoming EP.
