Vivid Live: Solange
Opera House Concert Hall, June 1
★★★½

Her sister Beyonce might be the bigger star but on this night Solange Knowles definitely had the bigger planet.

A massive white orb, suspended above an in-the-round stage and flanked by two white pyramids, was a fitting backdrop for this 70 minutes of otherworldly yet socially conscious soul.

Solange's third and latest album, 2016's A Seat at the Table, mixes electronica and jazz with R&B, so it was reassuring to see a full horn and rhythm section file on to strike up the fanfare of opener Rise.

That was temporarily drowned out as the 31-year-old herself appeared, harmonising and sashaying in effortless sync with her two backing singers.
