Concert Review
Leigh-Anne - My Ego Told Me To Tour
A sunny, warm spring day sets the perfect scene for Leigh-Anne’s final stop on her My Ego Told Me To Tour. It marks her first tour since stepping into her solo era after Little Mix — and Berlin is in for a treat. Tonight, she’s here to prove she doesn’t need to share the stage to own it. The show opens with the singer dancing her ass off to the beats of the album opener ‘Look Into My Eyes’. Her signature long braids cover her face as she moves wildly to the drums. As soon as she starts singing, we’re in for a surprise… Leigh-Anne is standing behind us on the balcony. For the first few minutes, we had been watching a lookalike on stage, completely fooled into thinking it was her. Genius. Hands down one of the best concert openings we’ve ever witnessed. We waste no time diving into ‘Dead and Gone’. Together with her almost identical-looking dancer, she moves energetically across the stage. The two often mirror each other, as if she’s looking at her own ego. Every detail of the night ties into the album’s theme — from the red and green lighting, to the coordinated outfits, to the carefully styled stage design. Leigh-Anne takes a moment to reflect on the journey that led her here. The road to her debut album wasn’t easy. She began under a major label before being dropped and ultimately continuing independently. The first song she wrote for the album, ‘Revival’, is clearly a fan favorite, with the crowd singing along to every word. From there, we move straight into her debut solo single ‘Don’t Say Love’. It’s always been a strong debut if you ask us, and finally hearing it live feels like a full-circle moment. Even though it sits slightly outside the reggae and R&B palette of the night, it still earns its place in the setlist. Next, it’s time to shine a light on her EP No Hard Feelings. Released during that in-between phase between the record label drama and the debut album, tracks like ‘OMG’ and ‘Stealin’ Love’ sound fresh and more than worthy of a live moment. Leigh-Anne jokes that ‘Stealin’ Love’ was her most-played song on Spotify that year — we love a self-aware queen. After a run of high-energy tracks, we get a breather with ‘Sunrise’ and ‘Me Minus U’, both delivered with stunning, stripped-back vocals that feel intimate and grounding. For ‘Tight Up Skirt’, a fan favorite of the album, Leigh-Anne invites fans on stage to show off their dance moves. She carefully selects five people from the crowd, and the moment feels genuine rather than staged. It becomes a real highlight — not just because of the dancing, but because of how connected it feels to her audience. And the fans on stage delivered! The moments we’ve been waiting for all night finally arrive. First up is ‘Talk To Me Nice’, an uptempo standout that gets the big moment it deserves. Leigh-Anne delivers some of her strongest vocals of the night to the incredible song. She keeps that momentum going with ‘Goodbye Goodmorning’, another undeniable fan favorite that has the crowd at its loudest we’ve heard them throughout the night. Honestly — can we please give one of these the official single treatment? She deserves a global smash, and either track could be it. Before the encore, the room erupts into one of the longest applause moments we’ve experienced. It’s clear this is a crowd of true fans, fully invested in her solo journey. The love in the room is undeniable. Recharged by the energy, Leigh-Anne returns to close the night with ‘My Love’. The smash hit lands perfectly as a finale, ending the show on a high. This concert was one for the books. Watching Leigh-Anne perform with such hunger and determination is genuinely inspiring. It feels like she has something to prove — not out of pressure, but out of passion. That drive never feels forced; instead, it comes across as honest and powerful. We leave the venue feeling inspired to go after what we want, unapologetically. Leigh-Anne truly deserves her flowers.
