Leonie Gray took the Théâtre Plaza, stage by storm, as part of M for Montreal, to offer us a groovy and full-of-energy performance. In front of a smiling and dancing crowd, she presented this Friday, November 21, an assortment of songs, mainly from her most recent album Crève-Cœur, but also some from her previous album Who?. Accompanied by an exclusively female band on drums and piano, the girls presented a 45-minute setlist mixing pop, soul and jazz, with touches of funk and R&B here and there, for a catchy moment. The powerful voice of Gray, who won several singing competitions in the early 2000s, punctuated the evening with intensity and raw emotion, where the female power recovery was in the spotlight. Very physically involved, the artist used the stage as her home by using every corner/position with ease to sometimes create proximity effects with the public and sometimes bursts of energy lifting the room. An exciting show that set the table well for the finale.
