Everyone, including myself, was left wanting more once the concert ended, as the girls brought the heat and left us in awe. I was fortunate to attend KISS OF LIFE’s inaugural concert in London on March 6 at Indigo at The O2.
The multinational quartet – Julie, Belle, Natty and Haneul – delivered a performance that was truly one-of-a-kind, leaving a lasting impression on the audience. Their energy was so infectious that my ears were ringing from the cheers.
The evening began with the high-energy track “Bad News”, immediately having the audience go wild. This then seamlessly transitioned into “Igloo” and “Get Loud”, showcasing their versatility, and we all couldn’t help but dance the entire time.
We also had the opportunity to listen to their unreleased song “Wine House”, which was a beautiful performance. They gave us 100% with their energy, vocals, rap and dance. I genuinely appreciate them, especially since some of the members weren’t feeling too well but still gave us their best.
The setlist also featured fan favourites like “Chemistry,” “TTG,” and “Nobody Knows.”. “Te Quiero” added a refreshing diversity to the lineup, while “My 808,” “Nothing,” and “Sticky” further exemplified their dynamic range.
The concert concluded on a high note with “Shhh,” leaving the audience yearning for more. I sang my lungs out the whole time with everyone, which made me feel like a part of something special, even though I was trapped in a sardine can and drowning in sweat.
You couldn’t deny each member’s talent as it was on full display: Belle’s fierce vocals, Natty’s mesmerising dancing, Julie’s astounding rapping and Haneul’s emotional singing captivated us all.
I was left impressed by their live vocals and how hard they worked to get here, but it is a reminder of why they are rapidly ascending in the global music scene.
The evening’s setlist was as follows:
- Bad News
- Igloo
- Get Loud
- Wine House
- Chemistry
- TTG
- Nobody Knows
- Gentleman
- Te Quiero
- My 808
- Nothing
- Sticky
- Midas Touch
- Shhh
- Bye My Neverland (Encore)
- No One But Us (Encore)
- Back To Me (Encore)
Despite the enthusiasm for each song, the event was not without its challenges. Fans who were eagerly awaiting soundcheck and photo opportunities were met with organizational setbacks.
The numbering system was overlooked, causing further frustration among attendees, including myself, who had queued early. The process was disorganized, and the prolonged queuing in the cold detracted from the overall experience.
It’s important to acknowledge these issues, as they undoubtedly affected the enjoyment of the event.
Despite the experience beforehand, KISS OF LIFE’s performance was a spectacular experience that left KISSY wanting more.
