Anjulie puts on an amazing show for a non-deserving crowd at Viva in Hamilton.
I've never been out in Hamilton to party before, and one night is not a lot to judge a small suburban town on, but I'm unlikely to go partying in Hamilton again. Although Hesse Village is quite quaint, and made me think 'why on earth did urban planners not build this type of High Street feel in Mississauga' the actual party scene, or at least Viva itself, was substandard. Well, maybe ideal for a 19 year old, of which there were many. But considering that Anjulie is a massive gig for a venue so far from Toronto, the club should have done much better with promotion. All of Hamilton should have been at Viva watching the pint sized singer belt out her hits and soon to be hits.
She's got some mad catchy tunes, and a wicked stage presence that boosts her warm yet husky vocals. Two fly girls flanked her with spirited moves while Anjulie nailed songs like 'fucking sexy' (have assumed the song name here:)), 'brand new bitch' and the recently released anthem 'stand behind the music'. Her strong vocals combined with tight rapping reminds me of a combination of Gwen Stefani - though thankfully Anjulie's lyrics have meaning and intelligence - and M.I.A. She is not comparable to most of today's pop starlettes because she actually writes her own music. Hooray for not pandering to the synthetically created 'gems' of today's pop world. She even writes other singer's music, notably this year, 'Don't call me baby' sung by Kreesha Turner.
If you haven't seen Anjulie, check her out. She's performing tomorrow night at Nathan Philips Square for Citytv's New Year's Eve bash, go down or watch it on tv.
I'm definitely looking forward to catching her again, this time in the 416.
