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...

'Salem II' EP Review

  'Salem II' EP Review Grace Calver Salem are front-vamp Will Gould (also of the band Creeper) and guitarist Matthew Reynolds, they burst onto the scene with The Apathy Ball and the release of their debut single 'Destroy Me' last year. Today (Friday 7th May) they release their second EP titled 'Salem II'. One of the main things I love about them and this EP is the imagery created with the lyrics and music. The lexical fields of vampires, love and darkness that can be found through all of the songs, paired with the gothic, theatrical and punky sound.  There is an eerie start to this EP with the introduction of the first track; 'William, It Was Really Nothing' before the punchy guitars explode in. A nod to The Smiths' 'William, It Was Really Nothing', this song is a theatrical masterpiece - with dominating vocals supported by a stunning, gothic choir and powerful guitars. This contrasts beautifully with the gentle bell, piano and wind chime sou...

My Favourite Memories from Gigs

My Favourite Memories from Gigs (All of these photos and videos were taken by me and are my own personal videos) With the news that concerts may be returning from 21st of June, I got myself some tickets booked, in the hopes that I may get to do some gig reviews! This got me thinking back to all the concerts I've been to before, so I've decided to share some of my favourite memories and experiences from gigs! 1. Remington Leith Concerning the Health and Safety Officials! I went to see Palaye Royale at Shepherd's Bush O2 Empire on the 21st February 2020. It was the most exciting concert I've ever been to, and it ended with frontman Remington Leith climbing up onto the balcony and hanging upside down! I was lucky enough to meet the band at their pop-up shop the next day, and Remington told me his mum wasn't impressed with the danger he was putting himself in!  2. Awsten Knight's Superpower On the 1st of February 2020, I had VIP tickets to see Waterparks in the Elec...
