It was immediately evident how devoted her fanbase was as the entire room let off a rapturous scream as she arrived on stage. Then, as she elegantly glided between hits, the fever pitch never subsided. The dark lighting and neon cross on stage also created a moody aesthetic, inviting you into the world of Alessi Rose and transforming Mountford Hall into Alessi's own palace.

Although their were plenty of moments of quiet intimacy and delicate emotion, we were really struck with the power of Alessi's performance. Tracks like 'First Original Thought' and 'Get Around' from her latest EP 'Voyeur' still had the slick pop sensibilities with singalong chorus', but they were also filled with a fiery intensity that made the performance unforgettable. Alessi strutted around the stage, flicking her hair around with a unforgiving attitude, owning every single track. This power in performance was what made the show for us. It was far from a watered down TikTok star's performance, it was a bold and absorbing show that packed a real punch and we loved every moment.

The irresistibly catchy fan favourite 'Same Mouth' ended the night with a huge singalong, ringing with tones of 90s Alt Pop and a coming-of-age energy it was the perfect poignant moment to close off a stunning show. This night proved that Alessi is ready to become the UK's next Pop superstar.
