In the same week that the top of the Album Top 100′s new album Kensington, Rivals state may Utrecht band dream. In a crowded Alpha-tent the four friends pay their melodic rock tunes out over the audience. The band pulls out all the stops to make an unforgettable impression.
The rock anthems of Kensington, ranging from almost bombastic anthems to cheerful pop hits are dressed up with an effective light show and a barrage of fireworks and confetti, until the end of the tent is streaked. It can not be otherwise defined than grand and ambitious.
The band members eyes slightly nervous, but there is no lack of quality. Disbelief announces the singer that he was a faithful visitor finally allowed to enter. The Alpha stage after twelve years Kensington is the place they deserve. The status of one of the biggest rock bands in Dutch is reached. (LDJ)
Selah Sue
The Belgian singer Selah Sue played around the release of her debut album already in almost all major festivals, but is still a welcome appearance. Even though she has released since her last tours through Netherlands no new music.
Fortunately Selah Sue has in recent months been busy and come in Alpha tent indeed new songs over. Those are very promising, but actually too slow for the eager audience in the tent, that especially hits wants to hear.
These are scattered throughout the set all over. This World is an early pass and falls a little into the water by a not yet warmed voice but Raggamuffin in the end makes for the perfect afternoon party. In order to succeed, the next show is again new music is a must.
Gregory Porter
Jazz is seldom very well represented at Lowlands, particularly since all the modern genres a bit of an odd duck in the bite is. That visitors to the festival to jazz have a brother dead, is certainly not the case. Saturdays only stand for two jazz acts programmed: Jungle By Night and Gregory Porter
The American singer with the distinctive headgear proves once more that no dusty jazz music that feels out of place on a hipster festival like Lowlands.. That is actually more or less the message of one of the songs that Porter sings, entitled Musical Genocide . No single type of music should be banned, he says.
In this regard Porter fits well with the eclectic lineup of Lowlands. His vocals are deep and thoughtful, yet vibrant and full of life. Porter has fun seemingly well on stage and even does a joyous karate kick in the air. Moreover, there is plenty of room for solos by saxophonist Yosuke Sato
