Anne-Marie at Brixton.

Thursday night and I spent it at Brixton O2 Academy watching Anne-Marie, 27, a English singer/songwriter from Essex. She’s been taking the music industry by storm since 2013 when she first started out. She’s done several collaborations  since then with; Rudimental, Marshmallow, Clean Bandit and many more. Her songs, ‘Alarm’, ‘2002’, ‘FRIENDS’, ‘Ciao Adios’ and ‘Rockabye’ all peaked at number one on the UK  singles chart. Her new album ‘Speak Your Mind’ was released this year before she took off on her own world tour of the debut album.

I brought tickets to Anne-Marie’s show in London on a last minute choice has I knew I liked the songs I had heard of her so far. However, last night was one of the most incredible nights I’ve had.

Although the two opening acts where not my cup of tea, when Anne-Marie came on everyone in the whole room seemed to come together – which is one of the things I love about concerts. The way music brings everyone together.

The lighting she had throughout the show was magnificent. Bright colours, different patterns etc. Through one of her songs called Trigger, she had pyrotechnics of sparklers going off at the front of the stage, lighting up the whole room and amazing everyone in the audience.

Watching the crowd dance, sing and come together on every song that she sung just makes you want to smile. Everyone singing the same song out to a stranger stood on stage. I can honestly say Anne-Marie is an amazing performer. Her voice is fantastic live, I would even say, personally, better than what you hear on her album. She hits high notes like its no trouble and entertains the audience all night long, not only with her singing but also with joking. Throughout the concert she will talk to the audience, cracking jokes and I’ve never thought of Anne-Marie personally as I have only listened to her music but after tonight I can definitely say she is such a down to earth funny person who is such a great entertainer. And if you have a chance to see Anne-Marie at all in your life, I would definitely recommend it as she is a true performer/entertainer for everyone.
