Music Critic Memoonah Hussain writes a glowing review of The Script at Resorts World Arena, writing that their level of respect for their fans makes them stand out from other modern artists
Irish pop rock band The Script took to the stage to ‘Rock the World’ under a sky full of stars, the sun, and the moon on Friday night at Resorts World Arena. The award-winning trio, who have the most number 1s of the previous decade in the Official Irish Albums Chart graced the stage to raucous screams before they launched into ‘Something Unreal.’ The seventh show of their 2020 Sunsets & Full Moons European tour, this show encapsulated the band’s love for music and their love for their fans.
“Today they are still a popular and strong force on the music scene with their popularity only growing more powerfully
I think it was Danny’s personality that drew me towards him and his band eight years ago. The band carry themselves with such humility, gratitude, and love. They are authentic; there’s no façade, no persona. It’s just them laid bare for us to see. And that’s what we saw throughout the show. In a reference to the late Caroline Flack, Mark reminded us ‘In a world where you can be anything, be kind,’ but remember to also ‘be kind to yourself’ before the band sung ‘If You Don’t Love Yourself.’ They also joked about the weather before breaking into ‘Rain.’
“Audience interaction is at the centre of their performances
Their infectious energy continued as the band moved to the B stage under a massive moon where the band delighted the arena with one of their greatest hits, 2008’s ‘The Man Who Can’t Be Moved,’ which had the audience captivated as they sang along to every word.
“They placed the limelight on their audience, once again cementing how important their fans are for them
The Script always have familiarity embedded within their music. Whether it’s ‘Science and Faith’ or ‘Hot Summer Nights,’ their music has consistency. They have their sound and they’re happy to stick with it and write about what matters to them. They are reliable and this allows their fans to connect more deeply with the band and their music. And ultimately that’s what sets these three awesome Irish men apart from almost every other artist.
Tickets for the rest of The Script’s current tour are available.
Sunsets and Full Moons is available now via Sony Music Entertainment UK Limited.
