ORION: LIVE FROM THE FCA VII
M&S BANK ARENA – Liverpool, England
August 30, 2020
As the next performance is introduced the venue plunges into darkness as the name “ORION” emblazons the led backdrop while three individual smoke machines go off and each member of the hip-hop group are revealed as the backdrop turns a red and gold aesthetic just as the beat begins for their debut single “Fuck Me Over”.
'Boa' and 'Circuit' hype up the crowd jumping up and down and moving back and forth between the edge of the stage and the center in order to get the crowd moving before 'Bellows' stood center stage begins with his opening verse, “You hurt me once, I grow stronger/You hurt me twice, I'm a goner/When I had nothin' you were ready to go/But now I got somethin', you're all relationship goals /I know when you look at me, it's your desire/I know the clout is the flame that started this fire/You fucked me over/But I can't resist you/Time heals all wounds/You're like my scar tissue/When I was sleeping on the floor/All I could do is miss you/Now we fuckin' on a boat with no issues/I came from nothing to be something/You came for me now we bumpin'”
As the trio find themselves stood together center stage the music stops completely and the lights go down once more on the led backdrop and the three look at each other before the lights come back up and the smoke machines go off once more as the beat drops again this time for the songs hook as 'Marina Balan' struts out onto the stage from behind the trio, going up to each one individually looking each one in the eye and suggestively grinding her hips against them as she sings beautifully, “Love used to hurt/Used to fuck me over/I've put my past/Over my shoulder/I know what I want/I make sure that I get it/Won't let my heart rule my head/I just won't let it.”
'Bellows' and 'Circuit' move towards the fans located at the edge of the stage and begin waves their arms around and hyping up the crowd further as 'Boa' and 'Marina Balan' are stood side by side center stage with Marina as she dances up against him while he delivers his verse, “See if I've been fucked over once, then the trust is gone/We still be fuckin', but you ain't my only one/The real drip, diamonds and gold/I keep em' for the loyalist ones that I know/I learnt a long time ago/Never to trust a hoe/They say that everything that glitters/Isn't always gold/And baby I know it's true/Cause you glitter like a motherfuckin' diamond/But there ain't nothing golden about you.” and the pair show clear chemistry together as Marina plays the tempting foil to Boa's passionate attitude and aggressive delivery.
The trio all come together once more at the middle of the stage with Marina front and center as she delivers the songs hook again before Circuit plays his hand on Marina's shoulder and the two are stood face to face as he delivers his energetic verse with Bellows and Boa ad-libbing throughout as he raps, “I gotta be honest, I've fallen before/Had my heart broken way too many times and it shows/Fuck your high class, with your wine glass/I used to drink from the bottle/So my sorrows could drown like it wasn't an option/Just to get through it, I used to pop pills/Now I'm living in the fast lane/Like an adrenaline junkie looking for cheap thrills/Now I don't go for matters of the heart/I go for purely aesthetic/I tend not to get attached/I just fuck it and bank it like credit/Now I just ride around Rodeo in my newest jam/Got the finest looking bitches eating out of my hand/They can't play wit my heart/I never let em' get that close/If it starts to get too real for me/I'll just pop a bottle and take a higher dose.”
And you can see the connection between Orion and Marina Balan as they perform live together, her soulful vocal delivery as well as her playful and sultry attitude working well with the trio, particularly on this track, she steps out from the group and moves closer towards the edge of the stage as she delivers the hook one final time, ”Love used to hurt/Used to fuck me over/I've put my past/Over my shoulder/I know what I want/I make sure that I get it/Won't let my heart rule my head/I just won't let it” as the first track comes to an end and the lights go out all around the arena with just a red and gold spotlight shining down on the trio in the center of the stage.
 [
As the venue is all in darkness with the exception of Orion, Boa takes a second to speak to the crowd, “How y'all doing tonight FCA'S!” which is met with a chorus of cheers throughout the venue, “Shit's been wild tonight. Fuck, it's been wild for some time now.” he states before continuing, “It's been a fucked up year, but hopefully in November we can have some good news. Whether you're Democratic or Republican that shit don't matter to us, you believe and support what you believe. And truth be told, there ain't a whole lot of faith in either candidate at the moment. But right now, four years of Joe seems a whole lot fucking better than eight years of Donald. Whichever way you choose to go, always remember that we have the power, we're the fucking leaders, don't let these fuckers try to make you ever think otherwise.” to which he's given a resounding chorus of cheers and applause as the music begins to play, “Let's do this shit!”
The beat is slower than the previous track, dominated with a brooding keyboard and bass guitar sound as Boa delivers the songs opening verse which sets the tone immediately that this isn't going to be the energetic romp of the previous track, “We got ourselves into a little situation/The graduation year from junior to senior for our nation/Let's hope this is the final year/Feels a million years since Obama care/Now we're firing careless missile's through the air/Exacerbating tensions while obsessing over twitter mentions/The fuck is this shit/Thought we moved past all of this?/Deserved better than this?.” and it's tone and lyrical direction makes the audience listen more intently to the passionate song as you almost can't hear anything other than the music and the group from the stage, with the audience seemingly giving the song the reflective backdrop it requires.
Marina walks over towards the edge of the stage with the trio and again delivers a beautiful and melodic vocal with classic soul and RnB vibes as she sings it's catchy hook, ”Let's make America breathe again/Let us be the catalyst for change again/Let's not be shackled by chains again/Let's make America breathe again/Let us be the catalyst for change again/Let's not be shackled by chains again.” which works perfectly alongside Boa's opening speech to introduce the song and as the camera cuts to some of the famous faces in the audience, you can see emotion in their faces with one or two even shedding a brief tear in response to both Marina's vocal deliver and the content of the words she's singing.
Bellows then steps forward with Marina and the two lean in to each other as he delivers his verse with aggression and passion, taking very direct swipes at some of Trump's failures, ”It's all been said before/'You must be the change you want to see in the world'/But you're being outworked by a fucking seventeen year old Swedish girl/How's there still people out there that support you/Maybe they're like you too/Just another mindless drone/Or is this more like Stockholm Syndrome/He's got them in his grips/Z-List politics/Psychological characteristic/It's a fucking mental illness/But this is it/Twenty-twenty thought we put this shit/Put this shit to bed/Send him off to pasture/Bang! Bang! Metaphorical bullets in his head.” which receives the biggest audience participation reaction of the entire track so far as Bellows doesn't shy away from lyrics that have been censored on certain Airplay and rotation.
Circuit steps up alongside Marina and Bellows and doesn't miss a beat in delivering the follow-on from Bellows' controversial line, ”Does it have to be metaphorical?/The thought of another four years seems illogical/Might have to take matters into my own hands/I'd probably get off for defending this land/Ha, land of the free/Look what he's done to me/Got me thinking violently/Fuck it, I'd do it voluntarily.” which again receives a round of cheers and hollers from the audience in participation tonight.
The music slows down again as Marina is stood proudly at the edge of the stage alongside Bellows, Boa and Circuit, the trio making an X with their arms as she delivers the hook one more time, ”Let's make America breathe again/Let us be the catalyst for change again/Let's not be shackled by chains again/Let's make America breathe again/Let us be the catalyst for change again/Let's not be shackled by chains again.” and the vocal and lyrics combined with the stance of the trio delivers a very passionate and political message that signifies strength and determination not to be silenced.
Bellows steps back from the group and climbs up onto a slightly raised platform as Marina now joins Boa and Circuit in folding her arms in an X position as he signals to shut the music off, “Nah, we gon' break it down now. Shut the music off. A voice is more powerful than anything” he says before continuing, “I want y'all to put an arm in the air for our fallen brothers in sister while we do this.” and the entire arena joins in before he delivers the final verse of the track, ”Twenty-twenty went and fucked it though/Got a clown leading us through a pandemic, the likes of which we ain't ever seen before/How can you give him four more/When he didn't even deserve the inauguration speech to start with/Practice what you preach, drink the fucking bleach/Maybe that will solve this/But nah, let's just slow this down for a verse/I honestly don't know where to start/Sometimes it feels like the worlds driving in reverse/There's still a lot of hate in this world/Logically, how can anybody feel free when there's people out there that still don't want us to be?/Whether it's woman's rights, gay rights, gun control or black lives/It all fucking matters/And our feet hurt from marching/But we'll keep marching on/Eight minutes and forty six seconds was what it took/You tried to brush it under the rug/But were too dumb to realize that the whole world gave a fuck/Does anyone feel responsible/Does anyone feel regret/Eight minutes and forty six seconds/He held a knee to another human's neck/Doesn't matter who you are/It's clear for all to see/This shit just ain't human to you and me” and as the song ends, the entire venue erupts into applause.
As the song comes to an end, the music is immediately diverted to a more upbeat RnB sound as Bellows addresses the audience, “FCA's! Let's go fucking wild for Ms. Aubrey Mikkel!” and the crowd cheer as the singer saunters out on to the stage with a beaming smile, the reaction an extremely positive one for an artist that hasn't been seen in live performance or heard on record for quite some time, but she seems in her element as she walks to the center of the stage as the beat drops for this unheard collaboration with Bellows and Circuit moving towards the edges of the stage with Marina at the back hyping up the crowd, leaving Aubrey and Boa center stage as they play off of one another as Boa delivers the opening to the song, ”Aye, I know your name, I know your face/But I ain't seen you around all that much these days/Jammin' to your hits/It's nostalgic/Used to beat off to your pics/That shit was magic/Big booty, big titties/Now you in the studio makin' hits wit me/Vibin' on the jam, cause you know this ones the real deal/Can't hear a word you're sayin'/Thinkin' bout makin' a fine bitch squeal /Can't hear a word you're sayin'/Thinkin' bout eating your bomb pussy like a meal.” which see's Aubrey brush off the advances of Boa playfully.
As Boa makes his way to the edges of the stage alongside Bellows and continue to hype the crowd, Circuit finds his way center stage, again the two play off of one another, sharing extended eye contant and moving suggestively to the beat of the track as Circuit delivers his verse, ”Aye, I know your name, I know your face/You know, I like seeing that fine ass around this place/Got a high-rise on the strip tonight/How bout' we drop this verse and try a private rewrite/I got bottles, I got weed/Whole package, you got all the woman this boy need/Thinkin' bout makin' a fine bitch squeal/You got all the woman this boy need/Thinkin' bout eating your bomb pussy like a meal/You got all the woman this boy need.” which again see's Aubrey brush off the advances as Boa makes his way center stage once more and the pair stand either side of Aubrey, admiring all of her.
She looks at them both individually and gestures towards her own body to suggest that they take this all in as she begins her verse, ”Down boys, heel... bout to show you the real deal/Wrap your hands around my body boy/Let them roam around and just explore/The things we're doing tonight/You ain't never done before/My number one goal is to keep you wanting more/I'm flowing like an ocean, as I look in your eyes.” but it becomes clear that Boa and Circuit aren't where her interests lie as she gestures Marina over towards her from the back of the stage, she walks over to the center with Boa to her left and Circuit to her right, she places her left hand on Boa's shoulder and her right hand on Circuit's shoulder and pushes down until they drop to their knees, she begins thrusting and moving her hips as Aubrey moves towards the edge of the stage where Bellows remains.
Aubrey whispers in Bellows ear, he turns and they both look each other up and down as Aubrey and Marina deliver the brief chorus, ”Boy I ain't playin, got my eyes elsewhere/I hope he can forgive me/I can't help but stare/Boy I ain't playin, got my eyes elsewhere/I hope he can forgive me/I can't help but stare.” as Aubrey's body language makes it clear that Bellows is where her attention truly lies.
He delivers his verse with energy and passion, making it clear that his intentions lie in very much the same path, ”Nah, she more than just your playboy barbie/Dirty motel rooms and getting' naughty/High class Queen, hustlin' for her dream on the daily/Game respect game/Man, she fuckin' slay me/When she goes down, that shit should be illegal/She's relentless with that pussy when she grindin' down on me though/She got her own place/High-rise in New York City/She a boss bitch/But she got that class A kitty for me/She don't need the subs bench, back-up players/She want that first ballot hall of famer/Every time like a gym workout/Session booked can't leave until she cum for me now/There's somethin' special when Miss Independent screaming out your name/And she just begging you to leave it in/Yeah, I know I'm screwed because she fuckin' got me/Her pussy owns and she knows it/She can't stop me/Fuck, yeah, she's got me.”
He appears in his element with Aubrey playing his onstage foil, grinding against him and playing the part well amidst the emphatic RnB backdrop of the song, the chemistry is definitely there whether real or playing up to the audience and the song, but the look in both of their eyes seem to indicate a real spark or certainly lost at the very least as Aubrey flicks her hair, grabs Bellows hand and places it to her chest and brings it down to just below her stomach, she gives him a look before delivering the final verse of the song, [i]”I'll lay you down, and make you proud/Drive until I make that ooh ah sound/Next lets switch up and we'll start the next round/Go in deeper, baby deeper till you just can't go no more/Pull my hair, just do me some more/Right now baby, it's the you and me show/Tell me can you feel that orgasm number two/The only time I feel this way, is with you/I'm suppose to be a sweet bitch, but you take away my innocence/I only share these moments with you/So lets keep this our dirty little secret/I wanna make you say my name/Say its so good that you can't wait/When I'm done screaming your name/You'll say babe, lets do it again” and as the song finishes to the clash of pyro, Aubrey pulls Bellows closer to her by his chains and the pair passionately kiss.
