HUNNY

HUNNY was good. She's got a very R&B vibe. Good stuff. I actually ran into her later on in the festival and she was so nice. I hope she continues to do well!

I've not heard of Tirzah before. I really liked her stuff. Very chill and interesting. I'll start listening to her stuff more.

I'll be honest, I didn't realise Mos Def was now known as Yasiin Bey. He and The Alchemist were performing under the name Forensics.

Massive Attack

Set list

This is what I was really here to see. And it didn't disappoint. Massive Attack played the hits but it wasn't just copies of the album tracks. With an entire band backing they were able to lay into the live performance aspect and really open the songs up. They even brought Horace Andy, Deborah Miller, and Elizabeth Fraser on to sing each of their respective tracks.

Probably my favourite song of the night was when they brought on Yasiin Bey to perform I Against I from the Collected album. The song just hit really hard.
