Concert Review: Colin Munroe, Wrongbar, July 5

Posted on

Saturday night we hit Wrongbar to see Colin Munroe play. Not really knowing what to expect, besides having been pleasantly surprised by what I heard on YouTube, I was even more surprised and mesmerized by the live show and enthusiasm brought to the table. Colin Munroe being a producer and a songwriter, knows how to create great hooks, and ear pleasing yet unique R&B, Top 40 jams, and has worked with high caliber acts like RZA, Pusha T, Drake, Wale and more. Yet he is probably most known for creating a response and remix of Kanye’s “All of the Lights,” titled “I Want Those Flashing Lights”.

I really enjoyed the set, although not much of a dance party was happening, it seemed almost everyone there was industry, and it definitely was not packed. Colin Munroe seems very underrated for the music he creates, and he is also incredibly talented. Speaking to the drummer after, I was told that Colin himself writes produces and also plays all of the instruments as well. However I must say, the drummer, Max, a local Torontonian, absolutely stole the show. He was an incredible talent, and it’s very rare to see someone that looks so natural at the drum kit. Colin Munroe is currently on tour promoting his new album The Unsung Hero, and it’s definitely a great pre-drink with the girls before “going to da club” album.
