I traveled from the Bay Area to Los Angeles to provide photo coverage for Faouzia’s surprise show on November 7th for the one-year anniversary of her hit song “Unethical,” and I can say with the utmost confidence that it was worth it. Faouzia was performing at a venue called The Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever, and the building was connected to a cemetery, which was definitely a first for me. The venue was not the largest, but it somehow felt oddly comfortable. It helped make the show feel more intimate and special because Faouzia was able to interact with more fans.
As soon as she came out, her outfit instantly caught people’s attention, and one lady said she looked like Cleopatra. She performed several of her staple songs, including “Birthday,” “Peace & Violence,” “Weirdo,” and more. What made this show so different was that she surprised the crowd by saying she wanted to sing a cover of a song she’s been listening to recently! It turned out to be “In My Room” by Julia Wolf!! This truly felt like two of my worlds colliding, as I listen to Julia Wolf frequently. Faouzia’s sharp vocals definitely suit the song well, and I would love to see the two artists collaborate together at some point in the future.
Additionally, she performed the “Unethical” demo version!! This is one of the first versions of her hit song, and people are hopeful that she will release it on streaming platforms at some point. It was an ethereal experience because that song resonated with me heavily.
She was also kind enough to do a free meet & greet with every fan in attendance after the concert, which is rare for an artist as large as she is. I let her know that I wanted her to release the demo version of “Unethical.” She’s an absolute SUPERSTAR in the making. I will definitely be in
attendance at her future shows. Till next time!
