070 Shake takes Toronto on a musical journey

Fans patiently waited for 070 Shake to take the stage at Toronto’s History on February 5th. The opening acts were brought to the crowd by Johan Lenox and Bryant Barnes. Johan Lenox, conducting from behind his piano, shared original compositions featuring Toronto-based violinist and cellist. While Bryant, moved the audience with his amazing voice. A very soft beginning to the night, easing into the behemoth of 070 Shake’s set.

“Toronto” she greeted the room. “I love this city”

The best way I can describe 070 Shake’s set is by comparing it to being on multiple rollercoasters. There was a lot of build-up, tons of sound barrier-breaking screams during the beginning of her set with lots of dancing and moshing throughout the night. But by “Black Dress,” the fans were off the ride. It felt like 070 Shake was practically begging the audience to sing along. Even though I didn’t know all the words, I was giving energy back to her. But when “Guilty Conscience” began to play fans were back on the ride, screaming along as they once were before.

“Tonight I’ll be playing a mixture of all three of my albums because I see them as one thing and you guys have been able to see my growth and experience through them, they’re all me [equaly], not multiple versions all me”.

“Thank you, guys, for following me into this movement. We are making music,” she acknowledged the band behind the veil, allowing them all to have a spotlight at one point or another during the show.

Some lucky fans got to be on stage with the rapper, getting the chance to show off a tattoo honouring her album Modus Vivendi and another got to request a song and sing “The Pines” alongside 070 Shake. But some highs have some incredible lows as the young man was encouraged by 070 Shake to stage dive back into the crowd and landed poorly, hurting himself and another audience member. I hope they’re both okay. Stay safe out there!

The combination of RnB and alternative sounds blended perfectly. She certainly found a new fan in here tonight. What I loved the most about her performance, however, was how much fun she was having on stage. The energy she brought out was unmatched, and it was also nice seeing her go from incredibly tough during certain songs to very soft when speaking to the audience. Except for one moment when she exclaimed “f— pop music!” Some days I can agree with that statement.
