This is definitely the last time I’m going to be able to see CMAT in a venue this size. Surely this has been the blow-up summer to end all blow-up summers, with a barnstorming Glasto set and now selling out Ally Pally in less than half an hour. But, for some reason, she’s still doing this in-store at Rough Trade (the actual reason: Sabrina Carpenter is also releasing an album this week, so every sale counts for the charts). In 55 minutes, she manages to do 5 songs, in an impressive testament to her ability to gab. She learns a lot about a year 9 student near the front. A lot of time on her love of Sabby C. She simply cannot resist responding to someone shouting from the crowd and giving it full consideration. It is ultimately charming if not a little frustrating, but she is great company. The new songs are great, I’d Want U makes a rare appearance (complete with her reading the lyrics off a fan’s phone), and Stay For Something sees her ending the gig stood on a chair in the middle of a crowd fully rallied around her. It just wouldn’t be the same at Ally Pally.
