Review: Brian McKnight and Dwele

On June 23, 2011, R&B legend and musical extraordinaire, Brian McKnight, performed at The Astor Theatre in Mount Lawley, just outside the city of Perth, to a small intimate crowd.

DJ Skooby, known as the People’s DJ and four-time running “Perth’s Urban/R&B DJ”, was the headline DJ for this event. As the seats filled up, DJ Skooby played smooth tunes and slow jams leading up to the performances of Brian McKnight and Dwele.

Before Brian’s thrilling performance, Dwele took the stage with his DJ and backup singers. He sang songs both old and new from his album, “
W.ants W.orld W.omen”, including his new single, “What’s Not To Love”. While he was on stage, he was both entertaining and humorous, as between songs he interacted with his audience with anecdotes and jokes. Not only did he perform on stage, but he also made his way around the crowd. He chose songs to sing directed to the female fans, such as “Cheatin” and “Let Your Hair Down”. He gave a wonderful performance, whilst not stealing the show from Brian. As he left the stage, he left the crowd excitedly waiting on Brian’s entrance.

Brian McKnight, an artist who has been performing for nearly 20 years and has sold millions of records, gave a jaw-dropping performance, which left loyal fans in awe. He entered the stage solo, and played each song without a band or DJ, as he played the piano, guitar and electric piano. He gave an interactive performance as he took the audience through phases of his life, from a young boy to adulthood, and the music he learnt to play on various instruments. Although he showed his beautiful vocals with each song, he also showed another side to him, as he entertained and charmed the dedicated fans. He sang some of his most popular songs, such as, “Anytime”, “One Last Cry”, “Back At One” and “All Night Long”. He showcased his musical skills, which made each performance even more magical.

Both artists gave intimate and entertaining performances, which would never be forgotten by the audience that attended the concert. Brian McKnight’s “
Just Me” and Dwele’s “W.ants W.orld W.omen” are available now.
