Three days ago, Noname posted a selfie on Instagram, accompanied by the following caption: "3 more shows left on this tour. I can’t lie I’m ready to go home and finish my new album." But if you thought that meant that she’d lack energy at last night’s London show, you’d be sorely mistaken.
The stage set up at Hammersmith's Eventim Apollo last night was simple; just a bassist, drummer and keyboardist, framed by the outline of a black circle that would later glow to replicate the sun. The Chicago rapper appeared wearing an equally simple black wrap dress and Mary-Jane shoes, opening boldly with tracks Self and Song 33 – neither of which feature on her third album for which the tour is named, Sundial, and which made it onto almost every best album list of 2023, including the Standard's.
