On wednesday, a couple hundred people got to see fantastically talented lady perform at London's Scala along with two equally brilliant support acts. If you weren't quite so lucky to get tickets (my situation was more of a money-saving issue) then there was a live stream.
Lianne has one of the sweetest, most delicate voices which she can channel into a massive force of sound when she wants to. You may know her first release Forget, also remixed by Shlohmo who is becoming one of my favourite producers. She serenaded her home crowd with vocal runs and soft melodies in between sips of whiskey. I hope she's around for a long time because her voice is incredible.
Lianne La Havas - Forget (Shlohmo Remix) by WeUnderGround
Anyway, here's her first official single, black and white, and filmed in one shot in Paris.
Next, we have Marques Toliver. He is known for busking his way around London and New York with his violin and his voice. After watching countless videos of him busking and him playing live, it's satisfying to see the reactions of joy and laughter from spectators when he starts performing. That approach has boiled down the art of perfroming to the artist and the crowd, rather than large-scale productions and promoters. His intricate playing and honest lyrics have a pretty great effect on people, to the point where he could sing about buying socks and his audience would start riots in Marks & Spencers. I can say without doubt that each song is as stunning as the next.
Urgh, Jessie Ware. I am in love. I posted Running a few weeks ago and I need to reiterate how much that song gives me everything, but I won't persist boring you with my obsession. This is her segment from the Red Bull Studios episode featuring an interview and performance.
