 | | The Mitchell Brothers |
From their outstanding performance, it was easy to see why, these two cheeky cockneys burst on stage with all the swagger of seasoned professionals.ÌýDressed in immaculate matching leather jackets and flat caps they launched into a series of thumping songs, such as the brilliant Harvey Nicks and the critically acclaimed Routine Check.Ìý The boys have really taken a leaf out of The Streets’ book, with their catchy, novelty hooks and truthful lyrics.ÌýThis is a hip hop act which a British audience can actually relate to, so expect big things from them.ÌýÌý Dressed in the same white T-shirt and baggy jeans as his fellow St. Lunatics, only the diamante belt buckle as big as a baby’s head marked Nelly out as the star of the show. Indeed, Nelly’s entire set had an extremely laid back and casual feel about it, almost as if the show had been thrown together in a jumble at the last minute. There were no fabulous stage sets, no big dance pieces, no lavish costume changes, just Nelly and his entourage having a good time and delivering his music.Ìý Not that the audience minded. They were more than happy to dance on their seats to smash hits Hot In Herre and Ride Wit’ Me, as well as bopping along to the catchy new tunes from Nelly’s new double album Sweat and Suit.Ìý Nelly is a natural performer, albeit in an understated way, and there is something very endearing about him not feeling the need to always be centre stage. He exudes confidence and easily manages to involve the crowds in each song he coolly knocks out.ÌýWith a role in a major film in the pipeline, Nelly looks set to conquer Hollywood with the same unique style which has seen him dubbed the prince of R'n'B. |
