GSoul, the singer-songwriter, lit up The Observatory in Santa Ana with his "Pretty Lil Thing" tour on Friday, June 21, 2024. The venue was packed with eager fans who had been anticipating this moment for months, if not years, since GSoul’s last tour in 2022.

The night kicked off with energy with GSoul’s mesmerizing performances of “Bad Habit”, a remixed version of “Selfish,” and “Tequila” set the stage for his newest single, “Window Pane (Pretty Lil Thing).” He even treated his fans to an a cappella rendition of the song after which his tour was named.

Throughout the evening, GSoul treated the crowd to a carefully curated setlist that included hits from his recent albums and fan favorites. Songs like "Broken Record" showcased his smooth vocals and infectious melodies, while "Natural" and "Hate Everything" drew emotional responses from the audience.

He took moments between songs to express his thanks, acknowledging the fans who had supported him from his early days with songs like "Excuses" from his first EP and thanking them for their kind messages and support throughout his journey. His eagerness to engage with his fans was further highlighted when he ventured down to the barricade, interacting up close with his enthusiastic supporters.

His final song, "Love Me Again," closed the night on a high note with sentimental expressions of thanks and love for his fans, leaving the crowd wanting more.

GSoul's interactions with the audience were heartfelt and genuine. He expressed his gratitude and love for his fans continuously throughout the show and even went as far as to provide his personal cell phone number to continue the interactions.

GSoul’s performance at The Observatory will surely be remembered as a cherished memory for his fans in Santa Ana, and we hope to see him back soon!
