    Pure soul, glorious nostalgia

    Life, Pimchanok Phungbun Na Ayudhya, Published on 20/08/2015

    » A couple of decades can pass in the blink of an eye when you realise the hits you've been religiously listening to on your Walkman are already 20-years-old. Boyz II Men were a staple on my cassette player. These days, I can still spontaneously sing along when I'll Make Love To You, On Bended Knees, End Of The Road and my personal favourite, 4 Seasons Of Loneliness, come up. And finally, my favourite R&B group of all time was staging their first live performance in town. It was just… not to be missed."Boyz II Men Live In Bangkok" on Sunday night at BITEC was a reunion of 90s kids who grew up bumpin' 'n' grindin' to old-school R&B. The performance took off right on time with opening acts by home-grown talents Apiwat "Nueng" Pongwat of Etc, Sarocha "Suay" Senarat and Weerasak "Gope" Klueakan from The Voice and Thanasit "Ton" Chaturapush from Academy Fantasia who put a soul spin on the start of proceedings. Weerasak did an amazing job by hitting every note of Sam Smith's Lay Me Down. In a shocking surprise, the screens abruptly showed Rangsan Panyaruan, aka Songkran The Voice, when the audience expected to see the R&B legends right after the warm-up. The moodkiller was just played unforgivably at the wrong time.
