Review quote's ;

"Anybody heard of Aretha Franklin?" asked Beverley Knight mid-way through her comeback show. "She could sing her arse off - but tonight I'm going to do it!"

 

As it turned out, that was a pretty accurate description of her 60-minute set.

I think this is gonna be her best album yet, ALL the tracks she performed tonight were stunning, such big

The new songs are phenomenal. Totally surpassed my expectations!

I have been a Beverley fan for a few years now and her live performances just get better and better. The new songs were warmly received and I cannot wait for the album.

 

Facts ;

• Filming was taking place during the show, signs around the venue stated, 'please be advised that tonight there will be a promotional/commercial video and audio recording of the above artist.'
• Beverley nearly didn't make it into the venue, the doormen didn't recognise her and refused to let her at first.
• The venue was virtually sold out with only under 20 spare seats left.

16.04.07 - 'No Mans Land ' Download Release

30.04.07 - 'No Mans Land ' CD Single Release

07.05.07 - 'Music City Soul' UK Album Release

Ive liked most of her songs, but her latest single is quite bland tbh.

:o Its soulful! I love Bev :wub: Watch out for her album 'Affirmation' in my personal top 30 albums countdown in Personal Charts, coming soon!

Anyone go to see her?

I didnt know about it :( And couldnt anyway cos it was in london :lol: I hope she tours though! I WILL go if she does!!

Yeah, was too far away for me too. I imagine she will tour in November - just like last year.

Thanks for posting this. Can't wait for the album release :wub: and the single is amazing! listen again ^_^

No problem. Took me quite a while actually!

LOVE the single too.

:o arrghh this is why we need a forum for her :wub: :wub: shes the best

I was in London last night, but was busy so couldn't make it :( gutted!

 

Heard it was amazing though, can't wait for her to tour!

Argh, I didn't know about this. I'm on her mailing list, but I get so many rubbish emails I must have missed this one. I love Bev and agree about Affirmation being an amazing album. I'm not sure if she'll top that for me, musically, but I think this album could do very well commercially. She has become much more mainstream over the last couple of years.

But Come As You Are was a MUCH more commercial lead single that No Mans Land, so im not really sure that this will be the album to take Bev platinum...

But the other singles off it - Black Butta, Queen Of Starting over - seem like they could do the trick commericaly and sell the album.

I really like the sound of Aint That Alot Of Love :wub: when or if it still is on her myspace it sounded great

Yeah, i love the sound of Queen Of Starting Over.

Not heard that one also Tell Me Im Wrong sounds really good ^_^

Im not gonna listen to any of them till I get the album! Im v excited for next month, Bev and Bextor!

Once bev forum is done could a mod move this into her forum

I was there! I'm sure one of those quotes is mine! The new songs are just... wow!

Haha. I think one is Dazzle. She is just PHONOMONAL.
