070 SHAKE LIVE IN TORONTO: A SHOW THAT WAS FELT, NOT JUST HEARD

Last Wednesday, I had the chance to attend 070 Shake’s Toronto show at History, and let me tell you—this wasn’t just a concert. It was an experience.

I walked in expecting a solid performance, but I left blown away by how deeply connected she is to her music, her message, and most importantly—her fans.

All of Her, All at Once

One thing that stood out was the way she performed music from all of her projects. Most artists introduce older songs like they’re flipping through a yearbook—"this is where I was at that time," "this song represents this version of me." But not 070 Shake. She made it very clear that all of her music—past and present—is her. Not fragmented pieces of a former self, not just moments in time, but one complete and evolving expression of who she is, right now, in front of us.

A Show Built to Be Felt

This wasn’t some over-the-top, flashy production filled with gimmicks. It was curated for feeling. Shake started out behind a white curtain, her band positioned beside her, a bright light casting larger-than-life shadows on the screen in front of us. For those first moments, you weren’t watching the artist—you were feeling the music, absorbing the energy before even seeing her face.

And once she emerged, the connection only grew stronger.

A Crowd That Was Part of the Show

Shake didn’t just perform to the audience—she brought them into the show. Her energy was magnetic, and the crowd fed off of it in a way I rarely see at concerts. She made people feel seen, like we weren’t just watching her perform, but like we were in the music with her.

And then, there was Liam.

At one point, a young man by the name of Liam somehow got up on stage, mic in hand, ready to hype up the crowd. Now, at any other show, this could’ve ended in an awkward scene—security rushing in, the moment ruined. But 070 Shake handled it effortlessly.

Rather than letting security take over, she cleverly orchestrated the situation, getting the guy to belly flop back into the crowd like it was part of the plan all along. Genius.

"FUCK POP"

One of the most raw moments of the night? When she screamed "FUCK POP", rejecting the idea of making music just for trends or mainstream approval.

She reminded us that music is magic, and that people shouldn’t just follow what’s popular. It was a rare, unfiltered moment of an artist telling their audience: be intentional with what you listen to. Seek out music that moves you, not just what’s being pushed onto you.

Final Thoughts

070 Shake didn’t just put on a show—she created an atmosphere, an experience, a space where music wasn’t just heard, but truly felt.

She didn’t need pyrotechnics or crazy visuals to hold our attention. She simply was herself, and that was enough.

If you ever get the chance to see her live—take it.
