Sup guys. Really I'm just showing off my picture with Hollie Smith. It's/She's dope.
I went to her concert lastweek with a couple mates...the venue could've been better, but herself, was amazing. I know Hollies music is not that shit you go clubbing for but when you see her in a nice smallish/intimate venue where you can sit so close, chill & watch her perform, then you will feel why Hollie is the shhhiiieeeet!
First off, there were too many dudes/chicks talking and laughin while Hollie was playing. Fair enough they wanted to socialise and try get in the opposite sex but do it outside where your game can't be heard.
Her band was all good, simple dudes, not doing shit too outrageous and just jammin out the groove. I thought Gooch was gonna drum, but then the man jumped on Keys! Her back up vocalists were tight. Bella Kalolo on side even...that chick has some powerful vocals kinda on that Jill Scott tip but still with NZ steez! Then there was Hollie...oh shit. She needs a grand piano on stage to match her vocals, but the way she sings and dances all on stage, you can feel the realness.

Not only amazingly beautiful but her voice and style is too. Just watch how she expresses herself, she's 100% in the zone from start of song to the end and it's in the break between songs that you realise she only musical because she doesn't know what the fuck to say on stage between songs lol I was gonna ask her out for a smoke after the show, but had none, and anyway I was trippin when I met her, you can't tell but my heartrate was fucked. What can you do when you meet one of 3 favourite female vocalists? If I was more of a somebody I'd ask her if she wants to jam, cause dates are shit.
You don't spark up a dancefloor and sweat and shit (some songs you can though) to her music, you just soak in the Hollie Smith experience. It's intimate/honest music, especially with her new album, you can feel she just wanted to get shit out that she couldn't before (plus she's got the Gooch on her team!). I love her steez, it's fuckin bad ass...and that's real.
NZ female musicians are on some next level shit, it's got me locked for sure.
