I feel Aldous almost channels when she performs. When seeing her live, I felt she returned to the room at the end of each song. She's brilliant!!

[@Midnightblueguy]

She is just otherworldly. Someone said I need to hear this song called the Barrel. ( I'm an Opera singer who is not easily impressed by singers with gimmicks and who intentionally trying and be different ) I watched the video and found myself crying from happiness. I had never heard of seen someone like Aldous. Read up a little bout her and I was hooked. THIS is an exQUIsite singer and artist and human. So grateful for her. ✨

[@patriciofernandez2711]

I'd love to hear what mermerized you about her singing, I love the song but I wouldn't say her voice is particularly stand out, perhaps there's something I'm missing?

[@pedrofonseca9102]

You can tell how much joy music brings to her life. Aldous' a transcendental performer, exquisite singer

[@johnkendelhardt2528]

This woman has hats for days

I thought it was a colander on her head at first and would not have been surprised at all if it were. Kinda disappointed actually it wasn't....

[@bd.2386]

Did you see her on tour this past month?

[@adamrpurcell]

Aldous is going on tour in the states soon. If you have a chance, please go see her! She is the most hypnotic live performer you'll see, I sat spellbound at her feet simply in awe as she wove her deep magic. She is channeling something extraordinary through her voice!

[@TWILIGHTR0SE]

Saw her in Denver last month, and still aglow from her performance. We were on the side of stage behind the drummer and could see all her faces, lucky to be in a small room. She really has a way of making you feel connected. I love her so much, and hungry for more, find myself constantly searching out more of her live performances.

[@snakey973]

She is captivating on every level Obsessed with her

Stressful?? She’s a professional musician, if she gets stressed out by performing, she can always choose another career. I actually really like Aldous Harding, but gtfo with that “stressed out by live performance” bullshit, she’s a fruit loop

@@ecinrm86 A lot of musicians aren't necessarily performers. Are you suggesting they all should be?

[@ecinrm86]

JackStrait she’s a professional musician though, so yes, absolutely. It 100% goes with the territory. If you’re a professional musician, performing is your job. And let’s not pretend she doesn’t like performing - her whole schtick is being weird af, making faces and wearing silly outfits.
