Aloe Blacc is just starting to play on the radio, I Need A Dollar is what people are starting to talk about and i recently saw him live in Glasgow's Oran Mor. The venue was brilliant, an old church now converted into a bar and live music venue, intimate, cosy, brilliant for up and coming acts, acts with great vocals like Aloe.
His voice was fantastic and Loving You Is Killing Me really got the crowd going. A lot of music was being played around him too, with a full band in session. All very talented musicians. My favourite part of the gig was when he posed that we all start a Soul Train, the room split down the middle and whoever was at the back of the opening would parade down the middle, dancing, grooving or doing whatever they felt fit the music. This was quite a spectacle!
I thoroughly enjoyed the gig and i cant wait till Aloe releases more music. He encored with a duet with his support act Maya Jupiter and then quickly made it to the back of the room to sign autographs and push his merchandise. A stand up gentleman, making sure to get some face time in with his fans.
Ill leave you with a smashing cover of Billie Jean done by Mr Aloe Blacc. Peaches.
