Amahla’s voice moves through R&B, jazz, pop, folk and soul music effortlessly Her set included a nice cover of 'Ain't No Sunshine'. LEDICI arrived on stage at 9.05 pm for her 80 mins set. Ledici was backed by a four piece band and female backing vocals . She looks much younger than her 53 years. Ledisi is similar to Macy Gray in that she is a neo-soul artist, but Ledisi is known for her lush, articulate vocals and more traditional, polished sound, whereas Macy Gray is famous for her unique raspy voice and a more quirky, old-school soul/funk-influenced style. Both are talented female vocalists in the R&B/soul/ gospel arena. The crowd are gently nodding and swaying along. Highlights included ' Love Never Changes', ' Pieces of Me', 'Anything For You' and ' I Blame You'. An enjoyable show. ----------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- Wednesday 08 October 2025. WANKERNOMICS live at Shepherds Bush Empire.
