Hayley Kiyoko cast an impressive figure in a wonderfully gaudy sequinned rainbow hoodie, which cemented her status as ‘Lesbian Jesus’, as she has been so dubbed by her fan base. Nobody but an ethereal being could even attempt to survive the heat in the room in such attire!
Orchestrated choreography blended with her own brand of brilliantly uninhibited dance moves, as she let loose a host of satiable pop tunes, each of which shone most brightly with the upswing into each chorus, with which Hayley’s vocals were matched in volume by those of the enraptured crowd.
Bittersweet new single ‘I Wish’ melded ribcage-rattling bass with a steadying, climbing chorus and a sprinkling of vocals effect across the groove-driven melody line, while emphatic closer ‘Girls Like Girls’ tugged on everyone’s heartstrings. From her session taking over the drum pads, to the forest of hands filling the sky, Hayley’s set was a display of the power of an individual to inspire a crowd, and vice versa.
A celebration of inclusivity, acceptance, and love!
