Hot off the heels of her recent release – Mountain With A View – Kelsea Ballerini hit the stage in London at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
Following the release of her transcendent new project – Mountain With a View – Kelsea Ballerini took to the stage in London at O2’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire. Having always been an assured and confident performer, this performance in London delivered something even greater. Over the past year, since the release of her SUBJECT TO CHANGE record and this subsequent EP, Ballerini has tapped into herself, delivering a more mature and vulnerable performance that enables her to access a deeper connection with her audience. Nowhere was this more evident than in this set in London. Over the course of 20 songs, she gave the audience her heart, from the vulnerability of the encore performance of ‘Leave Me Again’ to the the charisma and energy ‘You’re Drunk, Go Home,’ Ballerini demonstrated the depths of her abilities as a stalwart performer.
Doubtless, the performances of her new tracks, ‘Penthouse’ and ‘Leave Me Again’ were the easy standouts of the set that left her audience spellbound and emotional – Ballerini showed both her vocal capabilities and her easy ability to relate to her fans – but her cover of The Chicks’ ‘Cowboy Take Me Away’ and of ‘This Feeling’ acted to show her capacity to bridge both country and pop. More than anything, the set was a delight, showing an artist on the cusp of super stardom.
