Jastin Martin, singer, songwriter, and musician, opened up the stage for The All Around The World Tour. A new sound to some Houston fans, but to some a familiar face, Jastin graced the House of Blues stage with her elegance and southern hospitality. She performed a few of her singles, such as “Do Right” and “Replacement,” introducing her vulnerability to the crowd. The understated artist quickly gained new fans from her relatable music while gearing the crowd up for a memorable R&B night with her and Eric Bellinger.

With the crowd’s anticipation building up, Bellinger stepped out on the stage solo, grooving to and singing “Special” from his latest album, “It’ll All Make Sense Later.” Bellinger welcomed by two of his dancers, performed “Shooting Star” and “Pure,” as he created a sensual and open invite for the audience to sing along.

Shortly after Bellinger’s dancers took a break from the stage, the singer-songwriter took a moment to appreciate Houston for welcoming him to the city and showing love to him and his team. The dancers returned for an in-sync choreography with the artist, and the chemistry was unmatched, from the atmosphere to the fans. Bellinger engaged with his lady fans as they screamed for him, showing some skin for a tease as he performed “My Decision” and “Understood”.

With his unmatched vocals and his creative pen on display, Bellinger left no one in the venue feeling disconnected from his music. He took some time to perform some throwbacks from previous albums in his catalogue, such as “Drive By” and “Obsession”, and the ladies were ecstatic with excitement when Eric got off the stage to connect with a few audience members in the front row.

After engaging with the front row crowd, Bellinger suggested a few fans join him on stage to perform a few more throwbacks. To his surprise, Houston fans did not disappoint. They sang word for word each suggested song from the crowd; “Remind Her”, “Today I Got Time”, & “Moist”. The artist felt so much gratitude from his Day 1 fans showing love to his music with him.

As an added bonus to the night, Martin returned to the stage to perform a few of her hit singles, “Miss Me Yet” and “Chase” with Eric Bellinger on the remix. The collab created a nice vibe with the crowd bobbing their heads in agreement to the songs as they added Martin to their R&B library.

To close out the show, Bellinger switched the vibe a bit and went further back into his catalogue of music, encouraging his longtime fans to join in with him for “Type of Way,” “I Don’t Want Her,” and “G.O.A.T.” Appreciating the love and hospitality from Houston fans, EAZY, aka Bellinger, thanked everyone for coming out to his show, and showed love to his backup dancers for executing their flawless moves all night.
