Oh Wonder & Jaymes Young marked their first American stop of their tour with a high energy show at a packed First Avenue. Complete with bright lights, emotional pop ballads, and screaming fans, both Oh Wonder & Jaymes Young delivered an authentic and genuine show to remember.
The set opened up with Jaymes Young, a singer-songwriter that has gained considerable buzz in the music world over the last few years with collaborations with ZHU on “Hometown Girl” and David Guetta on “I’ll Keep Loving You.”
Known for his synth pop beats mixed with smooth R&B singing, he played a flowing show that featured such hits “Habits Of My Heart”, “We Won’t”, and “I’ll Be Good.” His music captured the emotions of the crowd and did not let go until the end of the set.
Following Jaymes Young was Oh Wonder, consisting of Anthony West & Josephine Vander Gucht, who not even 3 years ago were a small pop duo from London that began their viral success by releasing individual singles on their Soundcloud, one month at a time. With each single released, their following exploded and eventually culminated in their eponymous debut album, which flew up viral charts across the US & UK.
Like Jaymes Young before them, Oh Wonder’s smooth R&B inspired singing backed by electronic beats filled the First Avenue main room, captivating the packed house with a mix of their original album and their tour’s namesake “Ultralife.” The set opened up with some of their hits like “Drive” and “Without You.” Later, the crowd hushed during the opening of “Technicolour Beat” as the light rig pulsed along to the repeating electronic beat, and soft vocals and erupted when the duo closed out with their encore.
Overall, Oh Wonder & Jaymes Young showed why their presence in the music world has absolutely exploded in the last few years. Their passion for their music could be genuinely felt by the packed crowd from start to finish. Check out Jaymes Young’s debut album “Feel Something” and Oh Wonder’s sophomore album “Ultralife,” as their continue their American Tour.
