Malcolm Todd came to Orlando ready to rumble at Hard Rock Live Thursday. Without context, you may have thought you were at a WWE smackdown as Todd and his band walked on stage with individual entrance music and skits inspired by over-the-top wrestling production values.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was only last year when the 22-year-old singer-songwriter made his Orlando debut at the Plaza Live<\/a>. This week he returned to level up with a sold-out show at Hard Rock Live. In fact, his entire tour is sold out, with an additional 11 dates soon to be added.<\/p>\n

As the sixth show in his current \u201cDo That Again\u201d tour, Orlando was commended as the loudest and most vocal crowd thus far.<\/p>\n

The wholesome Gen Z rockstar is in the middle of his biggest year yet with breakout sophomore album Do That Again that has seen him ascend even higher in the pop-music firmament, to the upper regions of the Billboard 200 Chart.<\/p>\n

Despite the Do That Again Tour only being Todd\u2019s second time headlining, the production is a tremendous upgrade since his previous \u201cWholesome Rockstar Tour\u201d (actual name, we are not joking). Todd added background projections that accompanied him during songs and more dynamic stage lighting, making the experience more immersive and cohesive. Todd even rose to the occasion of having a larger budget, literally, with the addition of a two-story platform stage to the stage layout.<\/p>\n

Todd put on a show that was earnestly fun and goofy. He took several opportunities to dance along with the audience and spice up his performance. Right before singing his infamous song \u201cEarrings,\u201d Todd asked the crowd to \u201cchill\u201d as the screens showed a pair of dangly diamond earrings laid out on the stage. Todd said, \u201cI was looking everywhere for those and couldn\u2019t find them,\u201d referencing the song\u2019s lyrics: \u201cHer love is in your head \/ You lost your earrings in her bed.\u201d The crowd got quiet enough for his joke to land before promptly starting the song.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The setlist included \u201cCheer Me On,\u201d one of Todd\u2019s more vulnerable songs. The song discusses his insecurities in the spotlight while doubling as a thank-you to his fans. As a change of pace, a red rotary-phone was used as Todd\u2019s microphone for a section of the show. Todd carried the phone around, twirling the long cord while singing into the receiver.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the \u201cfinal\u201d song, Todd and his bandmates exited the stage, leaving the audience to cheer for an encore. The audience\u2019s cries for an encore were a full-circle moment as they chanted \u201cdo that again\u201d instead of \u201cencore.\u201d Todd duly sang that album\u2019s title track and an early number, \u201cRoomates,\u201d to send everyone home happy and whole.<\/p>\n
