Alexander Stewart at the Beanfield Theater

Alexander Stewart is one of these young singers known on social networks, among other things thanks to covers of popular songs. Intriguing therefore, to see him on stage with original material, taken in particular from his first album, Bleeding Hearts. Vulnerable, but solid on stage, the singer-songwriter connected as well with the audience at the Beanfield Theater in Montreal on May 18 as with his millions of subscribers on TikTok.

Early in the show, with titles like broken by you, leave me in the dark And day i die which follow one another, we quickly understand that the 24-year-old Canadian only writes pop ballads about his heartbreaks. It works. They are well delivered. We feel the emotion, and Alexander Stewart does not fail to demonstrate the extent of his voice. Without forgetting the audience, who sing them – not to say scream – from start to finish.

We would still take certain lighter moments, less repetitive pieces. Especially when the singer himself is overflowing with contagious excitement and having fun on stage between two dramatic vocal bursts. We still taste it with the more rhythmic pieces October, He Never Will And How Dare You.

Furthermore, Alexander Stewart only has to gain by exploring themes other than his breakups. When he puts them aside to talk about mental health with Proud of Me or even an eating disorder with Reflectionwe feel that the singer-songwriter can touch other heartstrings just as effectively.

The artist had enough to jump for joy on several occasions, the Beansfield Theater was there and had energy to spare. “You are by far the loudest audience,” he pointed out. Moved more than once and generous in his interactions, he even signed an autograph and drew a tattoo on a poster during the performance.

Known mainly on social networks currently, Alexander Stewart demonstrates with his first tour that he is to be discovered on stage.

Emmy Meli

In the first part, the singer of the popular song I Am Woman, Emmy Meli, warmed up the room. Accompanied by an electric guitarist, the pop artist has the personality and presence to charm any audience, but does so more particularly with her voice, all the nuances of which we discover with the piece On the Rocks.
