In 2012, my kids introduced me to Lianne La Havas' debut album, Is Your Love Big Enough? One play and I was hooked; I've been a fan ever since. Her music works for any activity, any emotion.
The first time I saw La Havas live, I was unprepared for the experience: Her music touched my heart in a way I'd never experienced before. I cried through the entire performance. Her music was that powerful, with lyrics woven together with beautiful harmonies; it pulled emotions out of me I didn't even know existed.
La Havas is soulful yet playful, raw and vulnerable in a commanding kind of way, and her new second album, Blood, is as amazing as the first. In this Tiny Desk performance, she plays two new songs - "What You Don't Do" and "Unstoppable" - as well as "Forget," from her first album. She and her talented collaborators, James Wyatt on piano and Frida Mariama Touray on backing vocals, rehearsed this special arrangement during the sound check just moments before the performance. It's wonderfully intimate, with just guitar accompanied by vocals that embellish without getting in the way. If you're like me, you will never get enough.
Blood is available now.

Hey Tiny Desk Fans,
Check out NPR’s Black Stories, Black Truths - a collection of podcasts hosted by journalists who speak truth to power. Our voices are as varied, nuanced, and dynamic as the Black experience. And stories should never be about us without us. Listen now: www.npr.org/podcasts/510372/black-stories-black-truths
Her voice sounds like a smile after an unexpected compliment.
KradenEPC that is by far, the most beautiful description of a physical emotion.
well said.
Agreed
That's so accurate. Damn, hope you're a writer because that's talent.
You described her voice perfectly. Ive been looking for that!! Thanks mate
I love the texture of her voice.
Just cashmere! I wanna wrap up in it and drink hot chocolate with marshmallows
+38ktgold so true!
+the.phoenix Texture though... I like it!
+the.phoenix Unique and pleasing voice. Her vibrato is strong and slow, yet her tone is clear and high. It gives a feeling of throat-iness but not.
+Charles Brewer I love how she is especially attentive to the dynamics of her voice, knowing when to push and when to hold back juuust a little... She is a world-class musician in so many ways.
Her voice sounds like love, flowers, and, feminine energy, soul
That's it... Those humans are a gift from god, i think (for me her voice and those songs remind me of lovely moments in my life )
I don't know how they do it, but NPR music transcends the billboard charts. Lianne La Havas's tiny desk has more views than Taylor Swift's and Billie Eilish's COMBINED. That is incredible.
NPR is a space where the most talented artists get the recognition they deserve. Always.
Agree, pure flow
I love seeing Lianne getting recognition but Taylor and Billie are pretty talented as well.
@@esmeveleztoro oh 100%. Not slandering Taylor or Billie, in fact their tiny desks are amazing too. I was just impressed that Lianne had so many views which is absolutely deserved!!
I guess I was also implying that Billie and Taylor get their fair share of flowers on other platforms, and I’m glad this happens to be the platform where lianne can get hers
@@slidingcatch I agree
glad it's working as designed.
-Tyler
I find these little npr concerts the best way to be introduced to an artist
I was scrolling down the videos and for some reasons I clicked on this one
now I'm probably in love.
Murilo Holtz i
She has to be the prettiest woman I have ever seen.
Yip
It's uncanny!
:) then you haven't seen very many women...She's a cutie , but one of billions out here......
15 yards for unnecessary horniness
Yeah man ❤️
One of the many, many things that amaze me about Lianna is her per-fect pronunciation of every word she sings. You can hear every consonant, every syllable and she uses the accents in her words to add a new layer of rhythm to her songs. It makes me appreciate language even more and it's a rare sound to hear in music these days.
It's called _diction_ ... You should listen to the other side of the coin when reggaeton _singers_ talk their lyrics... They can't even do that right!
Sooo true..🔥🔥
You'd like Regina Spektor, she also has very good diction!
I ' mTOTALLY AGREE WITH YOUR COMMENT 💯% TRUE 🎯🌟🏄🏿😁💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💜🪶
@Debbus00 ✊🏿YOUR COMMENT IS POWERFULL TKS ☮️🙏🏿☮️
Lianne started as a backing singer. I hope this backing vocalist releases her own music too, both incredible
Oh wow weird enough she does give the vibes of a backing vocalist. Mad talent
She does have songs out! Frida Touray :) Check her out!
Frida's work with group Native Dancer is amazing, highly recommend
Backing vocals, if done seriously, require skilled vocalists. It’s accentuation, not overlaying and singing against lead melody and rhythm isn‘t easy at all.
She has one of those voices that just somehow escapes her mouth. What you hear is so much bigger than what you see.
I agree. It's pretty freakin' amazing!!
Karen Lum Go Karen Lum! Well put.
well put!
Karen Lum omg this so true!
Karen Lum, right and this version is way better than the original, and her voice so much better. Don't understand her actual productions when i hear that kind of live performance.
I love her backup singer as much as I love her
I know right😊
such a perfect harmony they produce together!
that smokey voice is giving me chills
@ Amanda +1, and the guy on the piano, he's good too.
James Wyatt, Frida Mariama Touray, I'll try to remember their names, too. They all 3 together are interesting and sound great. Love it.
Amanda Alafita *singers ;)
you hear her smile when she's singing it's so beautiful
By far the best tiny desk.
the backup singer's smile is too adorable
I like it when the piano player looks back at her and they sort of make funny faces at each other briefly and she wiggles a bit. It looks like all of them are having a ton of fun together :)
Frida has her own band in London too
Really?? What is the band called??
Gia Rushing Native Dancer :)
Katherine Del Rosario I didn't like her smile at all!
Holy shit she just woke my mind up... Holy shit she's playing in Toronto tonight... HOLY SHIT I need to go...
+zabuma dang it, just got home and wasn't aware :(
+Tony Lednev I wish I could say she was terrible live, but she wasn't. Friggin I N C R E D I B L E dude, I was vibing out hard during her show. I even stayed back after the show and managed to speak with her (I was a nervous mess lol) for a little and got a picture and autograph!
+zabuma Dang that sounds awesome... did she do more of like this NPR set-up (acoustic type) or more of her studio sound?
Tony Lednev I'd say it was definitely more unique than her live performance here or a studio sound. She had a full band and sang every song a lot differently than the albums IMO. Also, her voice is a lot more fantastic live than the albums.
***** That meant that I didn't want to make the guy feel bad that he was missing out on something awesome, which, unfortunately, he did. Just trying to save feelings my dude.
Everybody in here talking about Lianne but that pianist looks like he is a wonderful human being, just all the beautiful little expressions he makes thoughout the performance and his soulful, world weary eyes, not mention his incredible piano playing while doing backup vocals also, what a lovely man.
Such a cute observation
Paused it just after the vocal run from around 1:34, then came down to the comments to check. This one was the first I saw; just really wonderful to see someone else appreciate the effort he puts in. 🙂
I was wondering if she was singing about him lol
yeah, i loved him.
Shoutout to the pianist. Did a great job and really seems to be enjoying what he is doing.
Found the names for the pianist and back up vocalist in an online article - James Wyatt and Frida Mariama Touray !!
Lianne goes all the way to perfection and then back to the human element. Absolute legend.
+Chloé-Marie Kikillus What a beautiful and accurate description
Conor Hughes Thank you (: it's a musical achievement I was first made aware of by Steely Dan talking about the making of their Aja album, so can't take all the credit but glad to pass it on. She's fine example of it.
Her vibrato is so perfect. She doesn't force it. Evey note escape her lips with such perfection. Both her pianist and background vocalist are exceptional.
E. Marie I agree.
E. Marie ...perfectly stated!
E. Marie John Legend instantly came to mind as I tried to figure out who she reminds me of. They're both such technically perfect, nuanced singers. Those humans open their mouths and velvet comes pouring out.
Forget always floors me. The fingerpicking, chords, the tone of her voice, the bouncy rhythm, the songwriting. True artistry. Also, her outfit? I can't. One of my fav Tiny Desks to watch.
I come back to this girl year after year. She's just a real cup of tea.
i feel like i’m drowning in a cloud of ginger and blue
it’s time to come back 🌾
@@MayoRamsey haha thanks :)
@neferin: It's time to come back again. Right, @BestGamerTutorials ? *grin*
@@darkchocolate4643 I appreciate it haha
Who's the audio engineer? Pay him some good money NPR because the balance of that piano and electric guitar on Unstoppable was amazing.
+Clement Piano but a bad engineer can destroy great musicianship with a slight turn of the wrong knob. Very much agreed with Ralph, brilliant engineering on this. Credit where it's due.
+Ralph Bernabe Good point. This is probably the sonically superior episode to date.
+Masses Esclaves Leon Bridges session was amazingly engineered also! The engineers they have are spectacular for sure though!
+Ralph Bernabe I'm listening without looking at the video and the mesh between Lianne and Ms. Touray is so tight. Exciting to hear.
+Ralph Bernabe they blow it sometimes tho
Her voice sounds like riding your bike on a sunny afternoon.
10 months late, but yh so cool and breezy
Fun fact:
She actually has to keep her eyes closed as much as she does, as not to unintentionally mesmerize people around her with her smile, let alone her singing.
Currently, both the UN and NATO recognizes the action, of her making direct eye contact, while smiling a WMD, weapon of mass distraction. Stating, that be she allowed to, on camera maintain eye contact while smiling, AND singing, for more than a couple of seconds, people watching said clip, will be unable to get any work done for at least an hour, locked into a semi vegetative state, with the risk of dehydration, as they watch her again, and again unless someone forcefully removes the victim from the source.
@@boohoow she really is just amazing all the way around
@@ashleymichalski1037 shit, just discovered that she's also made music videos, I mean why wouldn't she have music videos. My heart is beginning to engulf my body, send help
@@boohoow Check out Corrinne Bailey Rae also on this channel
the little “wow” from the audience at 3:39 is really my mood this entire video. I found out about Lianne through her colors performance and I’ve been in love with her music ever since
3:29
Her voice is like a warm shower in winter days. 💕
yup, don’t want it to end!
I love her face and her hair..
Including her amazing voice
and her jacket
+Nicholas Brown she emanates a very awesome kind of love... so beautiful... she's lovely
+Nindya Nabilah yes that jacket is awesome. the entire look shoot everything
i wanna see leon bridges and lianne LaHavas do a Duo, make it happen NPR!
+connor taylor so funny, I said the same thing on NPR's facebook post without seeing your comment!
spacebrain1991 wow what a coincidence!
+connor taylor YES.
let's make it happen, tweet it guys! #Lianne&LeonDuo !!!!
+connor taylor Damn that would be amazinggg
HOW CAN THIS VOICE BE SO SOFT YET sO POWERFUL?? holy jesus i love her :((
this women is the definition of beautiful in and out.
Great singing...
Great song writing...
Great playing...
She's got it all lol. Luuuckyyy
petition for Lianne to release a record of entirely raw versions of literally every song she has ever written
Esp green & gold
There is something so special about this woman alone with just her voice and her guitar.
I don't know how you got on with that but I'll sign it ;-)
YESSSSSSSSSSSS Rachel!!!
i was wondering if im the only one, thinking that this stuff ist soooo much better than the album...
This stuff is very very special
The audio is so crisp and her voice is so warm and sweet.. it's like stuffing an apple crumble pie in my ears
This reaction makes me laugh out loud, but it’s so true:)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
Yes! Quite true, she's delightful! 😆💟💟
couldnt have described it better myself😭😭
😁 brilliant 😂 never tried it but I can imagine
Her vocal control throughout the session and especially the last song is pure magic. And whilst playing the guitar as well, I'm floored
Tiny Desk is where sub-par vocalists can't hide. Too intimate, too raw, too in your face. It is however just another venue for someone Lianne. Few vocalists can hit a note and be 100% in tune the second the note is released and maintain the pitch throughout, with or without the help of a vibrato. Most vocalists who have this kind of control and accuracy often developed the ability from playing and mastering an instrument in addition to their voice. Leanne is clearly no exception. She is truly Exceptional!
I watch this every day, my favourite tiny desk concert of all time.
agreed
St paul and the broken bones 🙌then this
Agreed. Luv Esperanza Spalding, and her Tiny Desk performance was nice, but I gotta give it to Lianne this time. This was indeed the best performance on here yet.
If you like st paul you should check out tedeschi trucks band!
Are you still watching this every day?
Damn Lianne is like that dreamy elementary music teacher you, always tried your best for, striving for perfection.
Incredible how honey and Power come from the Same source...
Finally watched this concert after scrolling past it for the last few years. MAN I was missing out!! She’s flat-out GOOD!! I’ve been on a Lianne kick for the last few days. No bad songs! I just wish I would stop discovering these artists on Tiny Desk because I really believe these versions are better than the studio versions, am I the only one that feels this way??
I do! Tiny Desk on Spotify 😁
I agree, What you dont do in this concert is one of the best songs ive ever heard, the studio version just isn't the same
She's extremely talented, as a long time fan of hers my only complaint is that she can take quite a while to release something, but it's totally worth the wait! Her albums are golden from start to finish.
She does have a couple of acoustic EPs of some of her album cuts that are really good. ‘Courage’ and ‘Midnight’ acoustic are the jams
Nope. Lot of these artists I find out about in here are pretty much spoiled from then on. It's both a blessing and a curse
This mic is everything. It picks up anything. You can’t think too loud or it’d pick that too. Jeez 🔥
It's rare to listen to an artist and think "this person has created her/his perfect sound," but damn, she does it.
Isn't she awesome?
Laura B not really! 2pac have done the same long time ago
So, my son is 2 years old now and he is crazy about Lianne since he was 11 month old... no cartoon or anything else can match her, he just stops anything he's doing to listen to her sing.. HER EVERY SONG!
That's so sweet. I don't have a kid but my future kid is gonna be listening to Lianne whether she/he likes it or not! They better like her or I'll doubt they are mine :D
Now I'm about to let my 5yo listen. I don't know if she's heard it or not, but she going to now!!! Thank you!!
He has excellent musical taste!🎶🎸
thats amazing, he's got good taste!
same here! my daughter has been her number one fan since she was may 9 or 10 months old.
I’ve never hated an ad more in my life
Bruuuuuhhh
@@jamahlrawls3520 you’re here too?
🤣
@@princessdaisy2 Oh, u saw me somehwere?
Lol I get around
I instantly went from joy to anger when that ad interrupted her beautiful voice.
Jan 1st, 2023
Still come back to this beautiful human. Her voice doesn’t get old.
A duo with Allen Stone ... please!
Soooo sweet voice and presence.
Just lovely
I seriously always come back to this performance, which is when I discovered her music. She is just INCREDIBLE!
I've never fallen in love with someone because of a KRplus video before.
you need to look up her take away show. walking thru the streets of Paris playing her guitar. so lovely!
She is truly beautiful. Its hard not to fall for someone who bares their soul so faithfully
+Michael Ryan clearly !!!! In Paris its waouuuu
...its not a youtube vidoe its a npr tiny desk concert
It's so funny because as soon as I saw this video I said the exactly the same thing. There is something so beautiful and intoxicating about her.
Lianne and Anderson Paak have the best smiles I've ever seen
Yessss
Bethany Rose Yes Lawd
Maybe they should... link up
Best teeth in the game! Yes lawd!
And Cory Henry is in the line of three, i would bet theese people know the mean of love from A to Z
Just discovered this magnificent jewel of a entertaininer! Why do my eyes tear up while I listen to her angelic voice? Hope that she knows how she has made my heart happy! Continue young lady!!
She had just a pianist and a guitar for this entire concert! You don't need a lot when you are this talented!!
Dear Tiny Desk Videographer,
Those close-ups... thank you.
Dear God,
Lianne's smile... thank you.
Dear Lianne,
Those tunes... thank you.
Hahaha.... Best comment so far.
took 15 seconds and i already knew i liked her a lot
I came to listen to this video because it was introduced on a Japanese program.The voice touched my heart surprisingly smoothly, and I felt calm.Let's listen to other songs.Thank you very much。
I listen to a wide variety of music, and discovered her about a month or two ago from a song from her album that just dropped, "Lianna La Havas" and absolutely just fell in love with her and her voice immediately. No idea why she isn't more known than she already is.
Me too!!! Wow wow wow! When I listen to her I feel like I’m on the breezy beach in Brazil
Give it it up for James Wyatt on piano and Frida Mariama Touray on backing vocals. Frida is delighted with her co-singer. There's a warmth in the way she smiles at her.
thank you for the names, I was trying to figure out who they were!
Lord almighty, that voice would melt anyone's heart.
Fooly Cooly she makes my heart go... fooly cooly
Fooly Cooly it made me cry
Fooly Cooly it didn't melt mine!
Don't Believe anything they tell you you’re a mug then
And let's not forget piano and backup vocals - James Wyatt and Frida Mariama Touray !!!
I've listened to this live countless times and it always feels like going back home. Such high quality performance and sound engineering. Also I love how she asks for a second applause for the other two musicians while clapping furiously with a huge smile. Makes me go "Awwww" every single time.
Back home is exactly what it sounds like.
I like this acoustic so much more than the studio record!
so do I. I came across this first and then i search for the audio version but i was a little disappointed. this version is so MUCH better
Agree 100% We need a live record!
I feel this way about almost all the Tiny Desk concerts. I fall in love with the raw artist then go listen to the album and am disappointed in the over-production of almost every one of them. The latest one was Andrew Bird. His performance is AWESOME but in his album his vocals get washed out by the music too easily. I think the pendulum has swung to far in favor of electronic manipulation so it is now on the back-swing to raw live music. I can only hope :-D
Always seems to be the case with artists with real talent.
Mike Oliver hahah I made a point about that and got roasted by everyone lol
What a great artist she is! These arrangements and the way they sing and play together are just incredible!
+Mark Scheffler Not too shabby on guitar.
+Mark Scheffler And apart from th e great music, I must say I love her long skirt with buttons and her shirt.
+Arpa de Lluna she has a nice ass too
The perfect version of Forget. Absolutely incredible
Imagine waking up every morning to that beautiful smile...
Her smile is infectious.
4 years later and I still have to come back and watch this performance periodically.
for 4 years in my daily playlist, i love it :D
I’ve been listening for about 4 days straight.
Same
Same this is what started me on tiny desks
ALL DAY EVERYDAY !!!
She is perfect.
If we are to be judged as a species she is the only one we need to present.
This is one my favorite Tiny Desk Concerts !
Lianne's songs are amazing and tremendously underrated
In a way I hate this Tiny Desk. Because this sounds better than any of her albums. Her voice and style is perfect for the format.
@@mrharvest yes I tried to share songs individually by finding copies on KRplus but none compare to this recording!!!
@@mrharvest i totally agree! She sounds amazing live and I feel like its so hard to come by these days
I will be attending Lianne La Havas' and Leon Bridges concert in 2 days. I cannot wait.
are you going to the clearwater show?
did they play together, or did one open for the other?
Lianne opened for Leon
Good God, what a line up!
Yes, it was amazing. One of the best concerts I have ever attended. I feel blessed to have been in the presence of real music(talent).
Audio Engineer: Josh Rogosin
Knight this man, now!
Not many ppl understand - thanks for that comment :*
My man’s dynamic volume control makes each npr album worthy
All "NPR tiny desk" are incredible well recorded indeed!
I love most of these artists on Tiny Desk, but the engineer stars in all of them. Always a cut above.
Serious. This. Big time.
Coming back here in 2020. She’s so underrated. I just love her voice. Would love to see her live.
2021 here! unforgettable voice & perf
I’m gonna see her live in a month!! 🤯🔥
Saw her live a few days ago, she was phenomenal!!! Her talent, beauty and energy are out of this world
She still has the best tiny desk concert.
To be honest I prefer this recording to the album. I wish I could buy npr audio recordings
落合広道 she had the solo album which is what I listen to
I can sell you NPR recordings
same here
Yeah. This is my first time hearing her, and I didn't like the album versions. These are way better
Get a KRplus downloader app
Lianne has a most pleasant "way" about her. She seems like a very kind person and I love her voice.
She really is..!
This is by far my most-listened Tiny Desk, probably close to 40 times now, and I would honestly give an arm or a leg (or even a liver) to listen to these songs on Spotify, please NPR, make it happen!
Ohhhh My God,, how the light shines thru this woman's voice,, Unstoppable just brings tears of joy to my eyes. Thank you Lianne for sharing your gift with us.
She's one of those people who, when they smile, it feels like their damn SOUL is glowing
Luc ky ...u said it so well... she's is easily one of the most beautiful sights ive ever seen... if i die and come back as a woman, i wanna look just like her...
tiny desk ruins the studio versions of songs (it's a compliment)
I totally agree have always thought that. Especially Mac Miller
I always download the songs but am always a little disappointed that they don't sound the same as they do live. They need to release them on iTunes or Spotify!
Yeah same with Florence+the Machine.
cough cough *Anderson .Paak* cough cough
@@glenjnr10 Absolutely! And Tank and the Bangas, Avett Brothers, Andrew Bird, and Monika too!
Her acoustic music is much better than the produced versions. Love to hear this arrangement, much better than the produced versions.
Yes, everytime I listened to the produced versions of these on Spotify I just feel sad that she got paired with the wrong producers.
For real
The entire new album is pretty acoustic. You’ll love it.
I feel this about pretty much every tiny desk concert😅 st. Paul and the broken bones, benjamin clementine, leon bridges come to mind
they need to do a live version produced with john mayer
I am watching this for probably the 50th time. There are so many wonderful things, and I'm caught between wanting to talk about the musics... there are little gems hiding in here and I come back for ideas about how to play, how to think about melody... and then she smiles and the brain just stops... when was the last time I saw someone show that much joy just... singing?
So this is just to say. Thank you, Lianne, James, Frida. This is.. so much. Cannot express.
After several playthroughs, I think I can say with confidence that this is my favorite/ the best (imo) tiny desk I've ever seen.
Her back-up singer's blend of humility and pure power is amazing to behold
Danny McNulty She makes my top 5 definitely
wow she is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen
It's AhhhRealMonsters she’s so natural with it. That’s what I love about her.
My god I was thinking the same, she's a magical creature
This is what you call CARRYING: effortless, calculated, precise, vibrant, bright & definitely beautiful
The little “wow” you can hear after Lianne says thank you at the end of the first song 😂 I’ve heard this so many times and just caught it for the first time. Right there with ya on that one
I really appreciate your guy's recording quality. You COULD get away with one fairly cheap cardioid picking up everyone. But you go out of your way to mic every voice and instrument separately, mixing and mastering at different positions in the soundstage. Feels like Tinydesk is someone's passion project. I love this series so much.
Sidenote, I've fallen in love with this woman.
Josh Rogosin is the man who engineers all tiny desk projects. Credits in description. He defo deserves a Grammy for his engineering imo. He has actually made a few videos on this channel to show his process and tips and tricks. Here's a video of him showing what Mics he uses
krplus.net/bidio/lZRvlHlnpLGad4o&app=desktop
Jordon Brewer i think im not appreciating josh enough. i know nothing about sound mixing and mastering but any of tiny desk concert’s audience can tell that their sound quality is impeccable, whatever set up they use and sound editing they do enhances the musician’s voice, enabling us to hear it crisp and clear, and amplifies the characteristics in each voice so we can hear every twist and turn and projection. it’s indispensable for a musical experience. top notch
+1
i watch npr's tiny desks pretty much every day since a couple of years and it's just amazing/incredible how they regularly make the very best recording available... in a one take session?!
@@FB-mw5gv wow, I need to speak to Josh.. I just wanna talk.. In a good way.. LOL
i wish i was that elegant
Omg Jack hi LOL
Jack Kraus I wish I was that black
Me and my wife were at the 2019 crossroads festival, she hadn't heard of Lianne before. Prior to Lianne entrance i head out to buy some snacks, i can hear Lianne starts her set, voice and guitar only. When i get back to my seat, my wife looks at me with amazement in her eyes and says "Honey, that's what an angel sounds like". To me, that explains Lianne LaHavas
the way she smiles at Lianne at 6:23 makes me cry it’s beautiful
I love binge watching Tiny Desk and discovering new artists I’ve never heard of before
Yessssss, I love for itttt
This is happening to me right now! My god why do I see this just now?
I totally agree and I will be sending them a donation for that exact reason.
..and seeing 'established' artists in a new light..
I'm doing the exact same thing :)
can we talk about how talented the keyboard player dude is for being able to accurately find the 3rd part in the harmony all while playing keys and improvising over the original themes
Very talented and versatile
LISTEN TO MEEEE lololol he's boss!
James Klippel Thank you!!! I thought the tenor/pianist was Stupid Crazy amazing! With the vocals. He literally, in the first song sung 2nd soprano/1st alto and dropped back to low tenor. From head to str8 Chest. And his wht! Come on! He was a beast! I scream “ Sing Tenors” every time I hear the first song. And at the end of the first song they went Church on it. Whoever you are... You earn your props from me. I recognized the talent
💣💣💣
Background singer did amazing! harmony was perfect! Lianne and pianist = amazing
Three angels bringing the sound of the heavens a little closer to us earthlings.
Lianne is new to me, but her vibe is familiar... "unstoppable". Gotta love these Tiny Desk gems!
+NikolaTeslasGhost
"Tiny Desk gems!" True !
+NikolaTeslasGhost Yes "Tiny Desk gems" couldn't have said that better myself
Her backing singer has the most amazing cheek bones
Such a class act and natural talent
Why did I forget about this video for so long? What a beautiful expression of music.
Shout out to the pianist hitting those high notes like a champ.
Unstoppable should not have stopped.... Got caught in the river and floated away...got disconnected from my ship and meandered through space
I dont't know what it is, but the NPR tiny desk concerts bring out the best in some of the performers. Here's another example. Thank you NPR and all the artists!.
Im a doctor and maybe its weird but me and my staff find it easier to focus on good music especially these crazy days! So thank u dear !
I understand
immense appreciation to all the medical staff - please stay safe!
Oldysrv
music is the cure
You and your staff are heroes. And heroes deserve the best soundtrack.
Thank you for all you do!
Thank you Leanne, James and Frida.
She’s always hypnotic
Lianne is such a music nerd, you can tell in how calculated she is in her vocal delivery. even when she plays guitar, she's cautiously stroking each string for the exact effect for the exact length she wants the note in the air. Love her
MissOJAY cool!
😭
@MaxamillionGrey it meant enough to get you to make a snide remark.
@MaxamillionGrey also just so we're clear, Prince, one of the greatest musicians of all time PERIOD, did not work with many people. Guess who he DID work with because of her raw talent? Lianne. Good night.
Too much calculation.
