Lloyd

Críticas en vivo

• Lloyd - who, for my money, should really be going by his fabulous birth name, Lloyd Polite Jr. - is one of those R&B singers who has a lifelong grounding int he music industry, having come up through a boy band in the form of N-Toon; he started out with the group at the age of just ten. Since then, he’s released a slew of solo records, signing with the likes of Def Jam and Murder Inc. down the years and seeing two of his albums go top ten in his native U.S., thanks in no small part to chart smashes like ‘Southside’ and ‘Get It Shawty’. More recently, he’s decided to veer away from the smooth R&B sound with which he made his name, swapping crooning for rapping and signing with G-Unit Records last year. He’s released one new track to date - the considerably heavier ‘Get Dat Doe’ - and looks set to make a serious tilt at the genre on his as-yet-unconfirmed fifth solo album. How that will affect his live shows remains to be seen; they’ve generally been mellow affairs, as was the case when he appeared at 2012’s Wireless Festival; he performed a slew of his laid-back classics, in a dubious leather jacket/bare chest combo, to a packed tent, and it’s difficult to imagine rap tracks fitting in with that particular vibe - time will tell.

• I attended the unplugged concert in NYC on 10/23. For starters, the show time was 8:00pm. There was no opening act, just Lloyd and I tell you he hit the stage at exactly 8pm, so make sure to be on time. Lloyd performed snippets of songs from his Street Love album like “Valentine” and “Players Prayer” and of course did everyone’s favorites “Southside” and “YOU”. Then he performed a few of his newer songs from his “TRU” album like “Blown”, “Caramel”, “Holding” and “TRU”. Lloyd was interactive with the audience and did a great job. Best believe the next time Lloyd comes close to NY I’m there. My only critique is that the set was only an hour. I wished his set was longer but all in all I had a blast. Thanks Lloyd for making my night.
