Selah Sue

My first Selah concert of the summer. It was really hot outside and the crowd had to wait for Selah to start her own concert with 3 other shows: Fakear, a friendly french young electro-guy, who gave his mixes while Selah was watching at him attentively backstage. Naâman came after with some white fresh reggae, then The Dô enjoyed themselves and a young crowd at the first rows also.
Selah came after 9pm with a one-hour set, which is some kind of reduced compared to usual setlists. It's the first time I attended a Selah concert with both of her chorists on stage. That gives something more soul to the event.
I was not so close to the center of the stage as usually -although being in the first row-, which did not me allow to enjoy the show 100%.
I had chance to meet friendly people around but some other youngest were some kind of unrespectful -this is festivals-.
Coming back to Selah show, it was a big show like a festival can allow. Selah gave her best and people agreed to every move she did. She did her "Fear nothing" song (issued from Reason album) "for the first time on stage" and mixed her both albums to let young and older people spend a splendid sunny night at La Rochelle...

Selah Sue, the surprising new face on the music scene is doing really interesting things with the genres of soul, R & B and reggae whilst incorporating the acoustic guitar. Her career originally began in her home country of Belgium yet after the success of her debut eponymous album she has been touring globally to a huge fan base.

Supported by a talented live band, Sue is ready to prove why she is considered to be one to watch with the easy listening vibes of 'Always Home' echoing out around the venue. The audience cheers loudly and as the excitement dies down Selah says her first hellos and thank yous to the sizeable crowd gathered for her show. The vocal range she has is really impressive, as the soulful tones she demonstrates during a cover of 'Black Part Love' by Lauryn Hill do not appear to correspond with her meek appearance.

She also has a lot of musical ability with her guitar, as she uses the acoustic almost exclusively to create the bass line and rhythm of 'Alone' which she performs entirely acapella. It is clear to see Selah Sue has the talent, the following and the potential to take her career a long way.

The young, beautiful and soulful songstress that is Selah Sue held the crowd’s rapturous attention from start to finish when I saw her perform back in 2012. The melting pot of jazz, funk, soul and reggae influences that appear in her songs make her a treat to see perform live, have won her much critical acclaim and have led to collaborations with the likes of Cee Lo Green. A talented vocalist and guitarist, Selah Sue’s dynamic stage presence and well versed live support band put on a great show. Her ability to switch between high octane vocal rap riffing and soulful crooning ensured that there was a great range of high energy and more chilled out songs featuring in the set. Most of the songs she performed were taken from the self titled 2011 album - the album that really brought her into the popular spotlight! I particularly enjoyed her acoustic version of ‘Raggamuffin’ and the bouncy groove of ‘Crazy Vibes’, but the Lauryn Hill cover was also an unexpected treat! I would recommend this show to just about anyone and everyone because the atmosphere at the gig was so welcoming and enjoyable!

Selah Sue plays venues the size of Verizon field in Europe. Seeing her in a basement club in D.C., being 10 feet away from her and the band was a warm and intimate pleasure. Not only is she adorable, she's immensely talented, If you've never seen her, make it a point to catch her next time. It's a rare treat to catch a world class artist in such a small venue. Highly recommended.

It was amazing!!! Her performance was incredible. The place was really nice and the sound was awesome! I hope she will come back for an other concert soon! I will not miss it, I'm definitely going to one of her concerts again! I totally loved it...

An amazing concert...
A great trio as first part, then Selah Sue and her band just fired up the room.
One the best concert I've seen, she nailed it :)

As expected, she showed how deep and full of positive vibes she is, go there and enjoy !

Such a soulful and sweet, sweet concert! We had an amazing time! Beautiful people, beautiful and emotional athmosfer. Everyone was having fun, dancing and singing, really one of the most beautiful concerts I have been to lately :-)

What a disappointment that she didn't sing Crazy Vibes.

Her voice really is amazing though, even better in reality.

The sound in Islington Assembly Hall was also the best I had in a concert I think.

Good concert overall

Selah Sue is one of the most dynamic performers I have ever seen live and I have seen many over the last three years. She is a must see! And I if she ever comes out with a live CD I will be buy it for sure. Fantastic show.

Bof. I was disappointed by her concert à l'Olympia. I event felt opressed in the crowd.

The only good part was at the end, singing a cappella alone with guitar.

Not my best concert :-(
