When Stormzy last played London back in March, he blew the roof off the O2 with an arena show full of bombast, rage and energy in support of second album Heavy Is The Head. Ten months later at the cosy Queen Elizabeth Hall across town, he launched third LP This Is What I Mean on Tuesday afternoon with a tender presentation of touching ballads and considered storytelling. A lot can change in a short amount of time.
At this special mid-afternoon show, which will be streamed worldwide today, Stormzy performed six songs from the new album, many for the first time, and gave context to them through periodical Q&A segments between songs with Julie Adenuga.
