Emojis of flames abound on the chat-board throughout Nailah Blackman’s virtual ‘FIAH’ concert. The consensus was clear, ‘FIAH’ was hot; some even expressed “Pure Fire”. Also, in abundance were emojis of hearts expressing love for the ‘Watermelon Gyal’ as she danced and sang her way deeper into the hearts of many and made fans anew.
The theme ‘FIAH’ presented itself throughout the show: In the backdrops and stage lightings which created the ambience. In the dancers’ outfits and their choreography synchronizing with Nailah’s arching, bending, and swirling dance moves. In Nailah’s vocal tone and expressiveness; the slower the tempo of the song, the deeper she dug inside to bring out her inner flame, which created magic with that unique instrument she is blessed with. And when joined on stage by Kes to perform ‘Work Out’, the chemistry between the two was explosive as they give a more sensual feel and meaning to the song played at a slower tempo and sang with so much tenderness. This performance among many was worth the time viewing.

‘FIAH’ was not only hot, but it was also a very well packaged product that showcased Nailah as a unique artist, in more ways than one, who is ready to take soca to the world. Using her beauty, charming personality, and dance moves, she commanded the stage while singing and narrating the show. Nailah is creating her own niche in music, and with hard work and dedication, she is sure to reach her ultimate destination. For she has surrounded herself with a competent management team and talented musician that seems up to the task.
Also performing were Patrice Roberts, Ravi B, Sammy Jo, Pan extraordinaire- Mr. Len ‘Boogsie’ Sharpe, and new Dancehall sensation, Tafari. They were all well received by the online viewers.
