Her first concert on 11 March in the Main Hall of AB was sold out in no time and for her second concert we're now down to the last tickets. Because all this happened before Selah Sue's debut album was available in stores, she's now announcing a third and final AB concert: on Sunday 13 March (tickets available as of now). These are the only indoor concerts prior to Selah Sue hitting the summer festivals. Her debut will be released on 4 March and the first single from it ('Crazy Vibes') certainly already appears to be a big hit. What's more, it is apparent from her choice of support acts that our former Artist In Residence keeps her finger on the pulse. The young but already immensely hip On-Point label has received carte blanche at the 3 concerts in AB. To appear are: JtotheC & The Bad Mothas (13/3) and Title feat. Delvis (12/3).

Selah Sue has won this year a MIA (Music Industry Award) in the category Solo Female Artist.

Only those devoid of any sensory capacity whatsoever would wrinkle their brow when hearing the name Selah Sue. At 21 years of age, this young singer-songwriter from Leuven is still a spring chicken but she effortlessly captures the entire world. Just recently opening his concert in the Sportpaleis at the request of Prince himself. What's more, as we speak, she's scoring a hit with the single ‘Crazy Vibes’ from her new E.P. ‘Raggamuffin’ (‘more than a pacifier: a shrewd mix of pop, R&B, electronica and – that's right – a dash of reggae’ - HUMO). Moreover, this E.P. proclaims the last stretch prior to her debut album... to be released on 4 March by French label Because, which also houses other talented acts like Amadou & Mariam, Justice and Charlotte Gainsbourg. This same album also forms the theme for her concert 'with band' in the AB one week later, on Friday 11 an Saturday 12 March to be precise.

Selah Sue, our artiest-in-residence in 2009, has worked extremely hard on her debut album over the last few months. In the meantime she has accumulated quite some live experience, mainly solo and in support of an EP that she was able to record in the ABstudio. You're sure to know the hit 'Black Part Love' from that period. Selah Sue was discovered by Milow during an Open Mic evening in the Depot in Leuven and now shares a manager with Gabriel Rios. No surprise really if you've seen her perform, then you already know that she is one of Belgium's most promising performers. "I write as a singer-songwriter but I most like singing 'black music'. Soul or blues or ska or ragga or drum'n'bass. Rhythm and colour." In the meantime, foreign lands are fully falling for this talented young lady too - with an appearance in the immensely popular French TV-show Taratata where she performed a duet with Moby - and tours of full halls aside performers like Patrice, Jamie Lidell and Keziah Jones. What's more, she's made friends with half of Gnarls Barkley, that is: Cee Lo Green. He sings on one of the tracks on her album and she plays his vocal counterpart on the delicious Cee Lo track 'Please'.

The On-Point label from Brussels, a small and independent label, was established barely 1 year ago. At record speed, the label released four 7-inch vinyl albums. They will be providing a different act for each of the three Selah Sue concerts in the AB in March 2011.
'Live Life' is the impressive debut by Brussels' singer-songwriter Maëlan that was recently hailed “album of the week” on FM Brussel. Having grown up in a multi-cultural environment, it was there that he absorbed his favourite genres, such as African music, grime, dubstep, reggae and hip-hop. After having lived in England for a while, Maëlan returned to Brussels where he began working as MC with Grimelock. That same Grimelock also made a contribution to Maëlan's debut, just as the omnipresent Omar Perry.
