Less than five months after his successful headline performance on the Other Stage at Glastonbury, London rap artist Loyle Carner brought the essence of his fourth studio album ‘Hopefully!’ to the renowned O2 Academy Brixton for a sold-out four-night run, featuring support from talents like Rejjie Snow, Navy Blue, Léa Sen, and Brian Nasty. Carner’s debut album ‘Yesterday’s Gone’ was released in 2017, and his ascent to fame has been both remarkable and steady since then. His latest album primarily addresses themes of family, showcasing his vulnerability and humility on tracks like ‘About Time’ and ‘Feel at Home’—where he candidly discusses the challenges of managing fatherhood alongside fame and a busy touring schedule. True to his musical style, the overarching themes remain those of love, hope, and gratitude. He opens the homecoming performance with ‘all i need’—one of the lead singles from the new album that expresses a desire for peace amid life's challenges. As he and the band take the stage, they are greeted with loud, ecstatic cheers that resonate throughout the hour and a half that follows. The excitement momentarily subsides during the transitions between songs, during which Carner expresses his gratitude to the audience, his band, and the venue staff in his signature heartfelt way. After starting the set with several tracks from ‘Hopefully!’, the crowd's audible joy at the familiar saxophone riff from his 2017 hit ‘Ain’t Nothing Changed’ proved that interest in his earlier work remains strong, despite the influx of new fans he has gained with each album release. This was further confirmed during his performance of ‘Damselfly’, where the entire audience joyfully sang along to Tom Misch’s catchy hook. At one point, a woman fainted in the crowd. Upon noticing, Carner took a moment to pause the show to check on her and thanked the audience for their composure. Once the situation was under control, he encouraged everyone to take a few deep breaths and expressed appreciation for the venue’s security team for their swift response. “This place gets a bad reputation, but it’s a beautiful, special place, man!” he said to the audience, referring to the venue's negative publicity following the tragic events at a sold-out Asake concert in December 2022 where two fans lost their lives due to an unauthorized entry attempt. Carner dedicated ‘Homerton’ to the NHS and then welcomed American rapper and professional skateboarder Navy Blue for a soulful performance of ‘Purpose’. The crowd cheerfully filled in for Jorja Smith on the ethereal chorus of ‘Loose Ends’—one of five tracks from Carner’s second album ‘Not Waving, But Drowning’ included in the set. Similar to his earlier Glastonbury show, Carner's careful arrangement of the performance created a relaxed, contemplative, and immersive experience of jazz-infused hip-hop over the hour and a half. However, it was regrettable to see some of his earlier upbeat tracks, like ‘No CD’ and ‘The Isle of Arran’, not included. The band also enhanced the performance by delivering some exceptionally cool solos, particularly from Portuguese guitarist Raquel Martins, who recently released her debut album ‘LONDON, WHEN ARE U GONNA FEEL LIKE HOME?’ in May, and who also supported Carner during his warm-up shows at KOKO in Camden last month.
