Baby Queen at Primadonna Festival

 

Baby Queen at Primadonna Festival



Alt-pop artist, Baby Queen headlined the John Peel centre in Stowmarket on Friday 29th July, as part of Suffolk's Primadonna Festival. As a local gig-goer, it was really special to see an artist like Baby Queen play this venue - especially as this was her first time in Suffolk! Baby Queen took to the stage without her full band for this intimate show, accompanied just by her bass/keys player, Ben, and had the crowd singing along to favourites including; 'Want Me', 'Dover Beach' and 'Buzzkill'. 

They also performed unreleased song 'Lazy' as well as latest single 'Nobody Really Cares' which was released 4 weeks ago (and has one of the catchiest choruses ever!) with Baby Queen wearing a fantastic t-shirt with lyrics from the song; "Tell your boyfriend that it's over" in silver glittery writing. 

Baby Queen has had a massive year with her song 'Colours Of You' featuring in the Netflix show 'Heartstopper', supporting Olivia Rodrigo on the Sour Tour, and festival performances over the summer including at Truck Festival and the upcoming 110 Above. She also has a sold out show in Heaven, London on the 1st November, which I will be at and am super excited for!

I was absolutely thrilled when I heard about her playing at the John Peel Centre, as it is one of my favourite local venues with a great sense of community - you should check out the events they've got coming up, especially their 'Emerge' nights to support new and upcoming artists. 

She is the Spotify EQUAL ambassador for July, which is a dedicated space to highlight women creators, aiming to foster equality for women in music and audio. This ties in perfectly with Primadonna Festival's ethos to bring about inclusivity by spotlighting writing in many forms from women and non-binary people.

Greysha - 'Gold Glaze' Single Review

  19 year old, Shropshire based singer/songwriter Greysha released 'Gold Glaze' on 20th October.  A beautiful and reflective song about looking back at key events in your life. Told from the perspective of growing up it touches on lots of subjects many teenagers will recognise in themselves, not wanting to be in class, rebellious piercings, also however the more serious and poignant subjects of family and looking back at happier times.  As a subscriber to her mailing list from back when I bought the CD of her previous single 'Aspirin' , Greysha said of 'Gold Glaze' on release "I have poured my soul and a little part of who I am into this" The inflection and emotion she puts into the vocals literally make you feel this is true. A track with layered harmonies and cinematic strings, you smile and you even sing along to the "Gold Glaze" part but you also feel Greysha's pain at times..."Tell the darkness to stay back another day"  Gr

The Skinner Brothers - 'Iconic' EP Review

  The Skinner Brothers - 'Iconic' EP Review Tomorrow (Friday 7th May 2021) sees The Skinner Brothers drop their new EP 'Iconic'!  As their Spotify bio says, "The Skinner Brothers don't fuck about" and this 4-track EP backs up this claim! The EP explodes into action with two new tracks and two previously released singles - but with a twist. First up, the title track 'Iconic' starts with Zac Skinner's vocals and a guitar - then the beat comes in hard and we're rockin'! This is an amazing start, a track full of swag and attitude and will get the crowd chanting along "Iconic" in the build up to the final chorus. 'Iconic' is for winning the game with success against all odds "Get on it, step on it, subsonic, iconic." The second, and other brand new track is 'M.O.R.E', heavier than 'Iconic', it starts small and grows into an anthem oozing with self confidence. 'M.O.R.E' mentions getting up m

Declan McKenna Zeros Tour

 Declan McKenna Zeros Tour J1, Cambridge Junction - 23rd August 2021 "Cambridge are the OG's... everyone in this room saw me busking in the street 5 years ago." Declan McKenna appreciatively told the sold out crowd on the first night of his Zeros Tour, kicking off in Cambridge last night. With the checkerboard stage set with glitter balls and confetti cannons, the atmosphere was electric! You better believe Declan was on top form wearing his glittery suit, and the set had everything that you could have asked for. This gig was a humongous deal for me as it marked my return to indoor gigs for the first time in 18 months, and I couldn't think of anyone better to do it with than Declan! He gave the crowd exactly what they wanted with a blistering start performing 'Beautiful Faces', 'Rapture' and 'Sagittarius A*' accompanied by the confetti cannons going off, making sure that the concert literally started with a bang!  Declan appeared to be full of
