Read our Privacy notice Unsurprisingly, his vocals are the most appealing aspect of the album, with the emotional strength of his lead lines supported by subtle harmonies, as when Kwabs’s several backing vocals interlace engagingly behind his lead on “Walk”, which, depending on which source you use, has notched up between 35 and 50 million Spotify streams (whatever that means in terms of remuneration). The rhythmic humming and tambourine “chain rattles” lend an intriguing chain-gang to “Forgiven”, underscoring the song’s theme of proud, unbowed guilt. And on the closing “Cheating on Me”, the gospel overtones in Kwabs’s delivery bring a new slant to the slow piano blues accompaniment, appropriate for a moment of self-revelation: “I fell apart when I couldn’t see I was cheating on me”. This desire to develop as a man, and to understand the world in more rewarding ways, is an abiding theme of songs like these and “Father Figure” and “Perfect Ruin”. Happily, it’s a process that seems to be reflecting positively on Kwabs’s art, as well as his life. So maybe slow and steady really is the way to go, after all?

Performing with the same over-the-top attitude as a Voice contestant, the captivating tracks released online – "Perfect Ruin" in particular – are replaced with something altogether more amateurish. That rich voice is impressive and he can certainly hold a note, but he fails to project his thick, inviting sensuality out to the edges of his audience. Instead his vocals fall short and are frequently interrupted by his enthusiastic but breathless dancing across stage. Highlights are the demanding "Wrong or Right" and the international hit "Walk", the latter with echoes of Aloe Blacc's "I Need A Dollar": where the soul in his voice blasts through, finally, and the crowd's full attention is deserved, and paid. gig review: Live performance disappoints after online success","description":"He fails to project his thick will also be sharing its findings to aid in the CMA’s investigation into Ticketmaster’s “dynamic pricing” system The UK’s biggest consumer champion brand Which? has called for Ticketmaster to refund fans who were hit by the unexpected surge in prices for “in demand” tickets to Oasis‘ 2025 reunion tour as the use of dynamic pricing meant the cost of tickets would go up or down without warning based on demand This led to some fans who had been in the queue the entire day paying £355 for a ticket which was originally £135 when it came to confirm their purchase Ticketmaster had previously clarified on their website that ticket pieces “may increase or decrease at any time This is similar to how airline tickets and hotel rooms are sold.” has called for Ticketmaster to “do the right thing and refund the difference to fans who may have been misled into paying huge sums for tickets that were half the price just hours earlier” Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher of Oasis at the Melt According to screenshots provided to Which claims that Ticketmaster’s pages showed no signs of inflated prices being implemented during the sale has also stated that it believes Ticketmaster’s “lack of transparency” about its dynamic pricing “could have breached the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations (CPRs) as many fans were not informed about the increases until after they had already tried to add cheaper tickets to their baskets” Which?’s consumer law expert said in a statement: “It seems extremely unfair that Oasis fans got up early and battled through the queues only to find that tickets prices had more than doubled from the originally advertised price believes that Ticketmaster’s ‘in demand’ pricing practices for Oasis tickets could have breached consumer law as it appears fans weren’t properly warned about the use of ‘in demand’ pricing until far too late in the purchase journey – leading to a nasty shock at the checkout “Oasis and Ticketmaster should do the right thing and refund fans who may have been misled into paying over the odds for tickets that would have been half the price just hours earlier.” Noel and Liam Gallagher of rock band Oasis Last week, Oasis shared an official statement, distancing themselves from the ‘dynamic pricing’ policy and stating that they were unaware that prices would be hiked up so drastically: “It needs to be made clear that Oasis leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management and at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used.” They continued: “While prior meetings between promoters Ticketmaster and the band’s management resulted in a positive ticket sale strategy including dynamic ticketing to help keep general ticket prices down as well as reduce touting the execution of the plan failed to meet expectations All parties involved did their utmost to deliver the best possible fan experience but due to the unprecedented demand this became impossible to achieve.” A representative for Ticketmaster commented when approached by Which?: “We are committed to cooperating with the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) and look forward to sharing more facts about the ticket sale with them.” When approached for further comment by NME a Ticketmaster spokesperson said: “Fans can resell their Oasis tickets at the full price they paid through Ticketmaster or Twickets.” The spokesperson also shared further information that tickets bought via Ticketmaster can be refunded in full for up to 24 hours after purchase via its Fan Guarantee program NME has approached Oasis’ team for comment following criticism about the amount in light of surged prices The controversial use of ‘surge pricing’ for the reunion is now being investigated by the CMA – Which has confirmed that it “will be sharing its findings with the Competition and Markets Authority for their investigation into Ticketmaster’s pricing practices” Additionally, lawmakers are looking to introduce new legislation in the Republic of Ireland that would ban dynamic pricing Jim O’Callaghan TD is looking to extend the Sale of Tickets (Cultural Recreational and Sporting Events) Act that came into effect in 2021 and banned the reselling of tickets above face value O’Callaghan said the 2021 Act “protected fans” from missing out on tickets and from “seeing those same tickets for sale on a secondary site for far more than they can afford or would be happy to pay It now must be extended so we can protect fans from the experience of seeing ‘in demand’ tickets jumping significantly above the asking price that was initially advertised.” Oasis have also announced “a small step towards making amends for the situation” with “a special invitation-only ballot ticket sale strategy” for two new Wembley gigs on September 27 and 28 next year Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker
