Rebecca Ferguson - The Classics
Rebecca Ferguson - The Classics at Boisdale of Canary Wharf, London
About the show
Rebecca Ferguson returns to Boisdale of Canary Wharf with her live band, following strong demand for another close-up show. The set will feature the songs that made her name, including "Nothing’s Real But Love", "Shoulder to Shoulder", "Teach Me How to Be Loved" and "Pay For It", alongside a handful of covers chosen to sit naturally with her voice.
Rebecca is at her best when the arrangement gives her space. Her songs draw from soul, pop and R&B, but they are not built on vocal gymnastics. They work because of phrasing, control and the way she holds back until the lyric needs more weight. That makes Boisdale the right sort of room for her: close enough for the vocal detail, warm enough for a full-band sound.
Featuring - Rebecca Ferguson
Rebecca Ferguson came to prominence in 2010 when she was the runner up of X Factor in 2010 (beaten by Matt Cardie, but one place ahead of One Direction!). Her 2011 debut album, 'Heaven', went on to sell more than one million copies. 2013 saw the release of her follow-up album 'Freedom', which reached no.2 in the UK. It was based on the shackles of escaping from her former management and going her own way. She covered songs by Billie Holliday on her 2015 release 'Lady Sings The Blues' but returned with new material for 2016's 'Superwoman'.
