This is a part of what local reviewer Paul Goddard had to say afterFATM graced the stage at SparkArena in 2019: “…..Rarely do you see a singer so mesmerising that even individual lines in songs stand out. Every lyric is delivered with the passion it was written with. The hits are all here tonight in a 17-song set that is perfectly paced. As she moves and shimmies to the music that voice soars, dips and cuts like a knife with pitch perfect precision.
At one point Florence runs out into themain standing crowd and does something I have never seen before. She doesn’t just stand on a barrier above people heads she walks straight into the middle of the floor directly surrounded by thousands of people becoming one of the crowd facing the stage, singing and dancingwith them.
Whenshe starts jumping up anddown the people around her do the same. It gaveme goosebumps. So simple but so powerful.
I can’t speak for anyone else but tonight formethis show was an experience Iwill never forget. It is one you should experience as well.”
