Quarantine Online Sets: Version 51

Wednesday night meant catching some WFNM sets. I was only able to stick around for the first two artists. Though it was unfortunate to miss the full lineup, the first two artists were amazing.

Ella M put on a very professional set. The set was in black and white. What a cool format to use. She had two back-up musicians: electronic percussionist and keyboardist. There was a video person (or maybe just multiple cameras) that switched from the full 3 person band to just zooming in on Ella M. The music had this cool pop sound along with pre-recorded background vocals. And a couple times, she called on "Siri" to do a screen shot of the comments. She only did a 20 minute set that unfortunately does seem to have been saved to the WFNM Instagram page.

Gillian Heidi came up next. First thought that popped to mind was that she has great vocals. And then there was the Amy Winehouse photo in the background -- made me want to listen to some Winehouse music on Spotify. One of her songs was about not wanting to deal with FOMO, but at the same time not wanting to go out. When she sang, you could just see the emotions via her facial expressions. During the set she gave out a yell to an individual in the comments, Henry, "You can do this, also [playing an online set]. I can just do it better." In case we thought she was just being rude, she said, "That's my brother." Also, was that her mother doing the video and clapping in the background? It was a full family affair. She came across as being very extroverted with an exciting personality. It showed in her music.
