Aloe Blacc at Hammersmith Apollo

Aloe Blacc at Hammersmith Apollo

Thursday 15th December 2011 – Perfectly accompanying the current global financial crisis was Aloe Blacc’s anthemic “I Need A Dollar”. His true-to-life chorus permeated politics, and was addictively catchy. The soul singer from California’s OC inflects his tracks with hip-hop edge and politico-personification – most notably the aforementioned I Need A Dollar, which became an anthem for the struggling unemployed of the USA. He has drawn comparisons with the likes of Marvin Gaye and Gil Scott-Heron, and his nu-soul smoothness has sold out plenty of headline dates across the UK already. He has an uplifting style of delivering and detailing his wants and difficulties; slick and affecting, and universally communicative. Hear the reviews and “Good Things” said about his Hammersmith Apollo experience.
