7th November marks the first-time Norwegian pop sensation Sigrid, has taken to a Bristol stage. As Oh WonderÔÇÖs support act, Sigrid warmed up the already packed crowd. A whole band graced the stage of BristolÔÇÖs notorious o2 Academy. Starting with an unreleased song and going straight into ÔÇÿPlot TwistÔÇÖ, the twenty-one-year-old bought confidence and sass right to the stage. With lyrics such as ÔÇ£better work on that hype, broÔÇØ, ÔÇ£itÔÇÖs better to walk away than to roll with fake friendsÔÇØ and of course ÔÇ£you think youÔÇÖre so important to me donÔÇÖt you, donÔÇÖt kill my vibeÔÇØ a portion of sass was expected. But these firey lyrics combined with her confidence, dance moves, facial expressions and the odd ÔÇ£huhÔÇØ and hair-flip, ┬áshe definitely put on a show. In only a plain white t-shirt a pair of jeans she certainly made herself centre of attention. She performed ÔÇÿPlot TwistÔÇÖ, ÔÇÿFake FriendsÔÇÖ and a wonderfully stripped back version of ÔÇÿDynamiteÔÇÖ when the entire band let the stage. Sigrid admitted that not many songs have been released yet but played lots of new material, which made the whole crowd thirsty for more. The band played her latest release ÔÇÿStrangersÔÇÖ (before it was released), which Annie Mac has labelled ÔÇ£the perfect pop-songÔÇØ. Of course, finishing with ÔÇÿDonÔÇÖt Kill My VibeÔÇÖ, this is not going to be the last we hear from this twenty-one year old and I cannot wait to see what else she has up her sleeves.
