Ushering in Saturday at Latitude, Skott’s enchanting presence in the BBC Music tent is the perfect tonic to sip into the day ahead. Striking a chord between mountain-sized peaks of pristine anthemic pop and icy mysterious flourishes – it’s a set that stops Latitude in its stride.
Marching through an unmistakable run of defining cuts, Skott is in mesmerising form. From the strident pulls of ‘Amelia’ onwards, it’s an outpouring of raw emotion underpinned by an uncompromising glare into the souls and minds of all gathered. ‘Glitter & Gloss’ dazzles in a fashion that clears any palette of musical tastes, and lays the path for a performance of immeasurable real ness.
Managing to open her soul yet drench it in a mystique that has everyone gathered longing for more – today is a look into a future world formed in Skott’s vision. No matter the stage or the location, the result is the same. One of the most spellbinding forces in new music has an invitation that’ll keep pulling people in over and over again.
