DAVIDE K-POP

Yves, which you might know as a lead vocalist of LOONA, stopped by London on December 9th in style for her first solo European tour “Apple Cinnamon Crunch”. Dressed in a baby blue dress, a touch of nervousness was endearing as she addressed the crowd, admitting to some first-tour jitters.

Launching into her hit song “LOOP” with her dancers, Yves quickly cast aside any nerves, captivating the audience with her energy and talent. Hit tracks “Tik Tok” and “Gone Girl” followed, showcasing her signature style.

Yves then surprised the audience with a series of stunning covers. Her rendition of Harry Styles’ “Falling” showcased her vocal prowess, while her powerful performance of Keyshia Cole’s “Love” left everyone speechless. The dancers joined her onstage for a show-stopping performance of Viola, further solidifying her stage presence.

Yves’ playful personality shone throughout the concert. In a hilarious moment, she left her microphone on while talking to the audience between costume changes, creating a lighthearted interaction. Sporting a cute bunny hat, she introduced a flawless cover of Ariana Grande’s “Santa Tell Me,” perfectly timed for the approaching holiday season.

Taking a break from the high-energy performances, Yves treated fans to a heartwarming Q&A segment, answering questions submitted beforehand. She then delivered a heartfelt performance of “GOLD FISH,” a song with deep meaning. Yves’ desire to connect with the audience was evident as she asked fans to follow the song’s translation to fully grasp its emotional depth.

Special guest Blah took the stage next, captivating the audience with his own brand of talent and beautiful music. Performing a mix of four original songs and a Harry Styles cover, Blah proved to be a worthy addition to the night’s lineup.

Yves returned to the stage with a complete transformation. Clad in a punk outfit featuring baggy jeans, a vest, a corset, and a mini black patterned skirt with chains, her hair styled in braids, she exuded a fierce energy. She declared this bold look to be exclusive to the London audience. Yves then launched into a powerful performance of “DIORAMA,” followed by a captivating cover of Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso.” She kept the energy high with “Die for You” (The Weeknd cover) before treating fans to her hit song “Hashtag.”

Craving local recommendations, Yves opened the floor to suggestions for good eats. The audience’s enthusiastic responses ranged from Greg’s to fish and chips, with a healthy dose of Nando’s thrown in for good measure.

Yves closed out the main set with a breathtaking acapella performance, showcasing her flawless vocals before diving into “Afterglow” and “DIM.” The concert concluded with a high-energy encore featuring her hit song “LOOP,” leaving the audience wanting more.

Yves’ London concert was a resounding success. Her talent, charisma, and genuine connection with the audience made for an unforgettable evening, and I’m so happy she performed all my favourite songs!
Special guest Blah’s performance was a delightful addition, and the entire night served as a testament to the thriving Kpop scene. Keep a close eye on him!
