VIBES & BUBBLE
The Moon, Cardiff
Sat 23 Nov
In a city where the R in r’n’b is uttered more harshly than other postcodes, it’s fair to say softer expression would not be turned away. Hosted by Faith & Friends, Cardiff’s very own r’n’b, soul and rap evening has emerged. The artists listed are set to provide a potent blend of the smoother urban genres, each already having a reputation in the South Wales area and further afield.
Vally Vand delivers trap-infused electronic r’n’b that could be likened to Canadian artist Partynextdoor; Solo Jane has an air of UK soul and the velvety voice of a stripped-back garage singer. Lucas J Rowe has the ability to charm a crowd and serve up buoyant Caribbean-influenced hip-hop and soul, while Faith’s own unique sound and incredible vocal range has previously been showcased on The Voice and Eädyth [pictured] comes fresh from launching her latest EP here in August.
One of the Moon’s free weekend shows, it’s fair to assume to in an attempt to ignite this culture/scene, which is admirable in itself. This could be a showing of a Cardiffian subculture that shines through the masses of indie bands and boom-bap rappers to provide something unexpected.
