V Festival review: Jess Glynne - Wonderful, soulful, upbeat
She was one of the best dressed at last year's V - and Jess Glynne looked just as incredible this year.
The stunning 27-year-old London star strolled out on to the stage dressed in a floor-length sparkling silver flowing trousers and matching top; her crimped red locks spilling down her back.
Supported by a superb band and an excellent trio of backing singers, Jess sounded tremendous; her strong, rich vocals unwavering throughout.
Fan favourite and Clean Bandit hit Rather Be had fans moving their bodies and singing along, as the songstress impressed above.
"I've done V two years in a row," said Jess.
"I'm very grateful - I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.
"The next song I wrote for my mum and dad.
"This song goes for my fans as well.
"I couldn't be more grateful- thank you from the bottom of my heart.
"If you know it sing along."
And with that, Jess launched into 2015 number My Love.
As smoke-filled bubbles were released over the crowd, fans danced away despite the pouring rain and cool winds.
"Are we having a good day?" said Jess.
"I'm so sorry it's raining - this never happens to me.
"Are we gonna have some fun in the rain?
"Come on then."
She kept the crowd moving with upbeat numbers such as You Can Find Me and Hold My Hand, meaning fans were able to have a dance and forget the elements - a huge conga line even formed at one point.
Perfectly-timed choreography also made up the set, as the flame-haired songstress led her backing band and singers in the moves.
A wonderful, soulful, upbeat set - and a perfect cure for the rainy blues.
