CRITIC’S PICK: Keke Palmer, the queen herself is coming to Atlanta. She’s my personal favorite celebrity virgo (sorry, Beyonce) and she’s also a damn good singer and performer. Palmer has been everywhere – movies, tv, late night, podcasts – but this tour is to celebrate her May film and accompanying album Big Boss. Big Boss is unlike anything Palmer has done. It is a 41 min film of Keke Palmer’s life by Palmer for her TV Network, KeyTV. The film opens with scenes of a young Palmer, a child actress running lines and singing songs, growing up in a religious household and with her family in Chicago and then eventually entering the male-dominated entertainment industry. It goes song-by-song through the album, making it essentially 10 music videos that sync up to show her life story and path getting to where she is. It is raw, emotional and a very vulnerable look into Palmer’s life. Not only are the songs classic Keke’s pop and R&B sound, the videos are just as good. I thoroughly enjoyed this entire film and I have no doubt the Big Boss tour will be just as entertaining. — Jessica Goodson
