And if there is one person that is to come on after you’ve had every drop of emotional energy utterly drained by the support act, it should not be the dark seductress Kyla La Grange.
On she shoelessly skulks to join her four-piece male backing band, as they blast immediately into the gothic anti-anthem ‘Walk Through Walls’. A tight band support La Grange as they make their way through the set, which while drenched with brooding seductive charm, catapults glimmering ballads such as the Lennox-tinged ‘Courage’ deep into your ears. The modest nervousness she displays in the silence turns immediately into a bursting feminist passion as soon as each song begins. Perhaps adding to this, La Grange rarely strays from her low vocal range; kicking and stomping in a refusal to hit the high-note-chorus’ so demanded in a ‘pop’ world. Solid, intelligently written songs - very promising stuff from an artist whose presence is sure to be increasingly felt this year.
The Walk Through Walls E.P is out now released on Noir
