From Beyonce to Usher to Brent Faiyaz, R&B (rhythm and blues) music has been spread and developed to many generations. The up and coming R&B artist Brent Faiyaz has captured the hearts of this generation of teens and young adults like cupid with his bow.
After one year of Faiyaz’s latest album release of Wasteland the – The World, it’s a Wasteland tour was finally announced.
His first album released, Poison (2016), followed by Lost (2018), Faiyaz featured a combination of R&B and soul with a bit of rap and pop. Then, after the releases of — The World (2020) and Wasteland (2022), Faiyaz became an adored and incredibly popular artist amongst social media.
The Wasteland world tour was announced May 3rd, 2023, packed with shows in the United States, from D.C. all the way to L.A. Faiyaz provided shows all across the US, and like a true world tour, Faiyaz will continue to perform in the United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, and Italy. On May 5th, 2023, Faiyaz broke hearts by announcing all his available shows were completely sold out.
Faiyaz has been performing around the word since July 16th and his setlists have been especially adored. I personally am a huge fan of Faiyaz’s older music. When he took part in a group called “Sonder”, a lot of fans adored the popular song “What You Heard”, and Faiyaz filled his setlists with songs to his fans likings. Now he performs both newer music from Wasteland and – The World, but sneaks in a some Sonder songs.
Faiyaz is a great performer with his smooth and calming voice mixed with his alive and emotional beats. If I had the opportunity to hear Faiyaz live, sing along to his performance, and feel his music from him personally, I would jump at it for any price.
The presence of his shows and the love that fills the stadium seems to be an amazing experience. All his fans resonate with his music and go to have a great time, and certainly are not disappointed.
Watching Faiyaz’s concerts trough a phone screen is already an emotional experience, and fans there seem to be feeling these emotions to the maximum.
Faiyaz’s controlled voice, engaging lyrics intertwined with so much soul fills the stadiums in which he performs. I hope this new tour and Faiyaz’s new merch release introduces him to a bigger audience as we should all experience his songs at least once.
