Erykah Badu & Lianne La Havas

A week ago, I was lucky enough to see Erykah Badu at Hammersmith Apollo. I've long been a fan, and her music often gets me through essays, revision and summer days. Lianne La Havas supported and seemed as excited to be in the same building as Erykah Badu as the crowd were. 

I could have bet money on her coming out with big hair and a big hat and of course, she did not disappoint.

Her career spans two decades so I kept trying to guess which songs she was going to sing, honestly, I failed on a lot but got so excited when she sang some of my favourites including I Want You, Appletree and Love Of My Life.

I only found out Lianne La Havas would be supporting her a few hours before the concert and was beyond ecstatic. I saw the video for "Forget" a few months ago, and was in love with her voice and style.

The overall atmosphere in a smaller venue pretty much always seems to make for a better concert and standing in Hammersmith Apollo was definitely proof of this. Both singers had amazing stage presence and I'd love to see them again.


I can't find a proper photo of my outfit but it was this with the dress in black rather than mint green.

Any recommendations for any similar new/ old artists as well as forthcoming gigs/ concerts would be more than welcome.

Aniesha.
