Live review from Winter Festival (冬季音樂祭) Day 1:
Intro
find you
day n night
be the same
end of the story
a part of me died
fall
Hide
Outro
norio: vocalist/main act
tommar: guitar
Wing Hong: drummer
With slower paced, melodic tunes, and a great stage presence, norio is undeniably charming to the audience. Delivering relaxing and smooth tunes, his style is reminiscent of American singer Keshi. In “Be the Same” guitarist Tommar shines especially. Wing Hong on drums shines the most to me in the next song, end of the story, working well with norio’s smooth vocals. A more personal moment in the set, norio delivers a song of grief for his mother as he sits on stage, before rapidly switching this up to go to the next song. After a few pleasant, enjoyable but similar sounding songs, the set ended with my personal favourite. norio’s captivating voice as he sings “where are you hiding” leaves the audience and myself wanting another song. It’s a nice change of pace from the last few calmer songs and concludes a strong set.
