Amber Mark: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
Музыка
The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Bobby Carter | January 31, 2022
In her Tiny Desk (home) concert, singer-songwriter and producer Amber Mark expresses more than once that performing for the series is a "bucket list" moment for her. Upon our first meeting, she came with the concept for her performance entirely laid out. "The band is gonna sing backup, and we can cut to my family in the audience at the restaurant," she said. "We'll make it beautiful." With details that evoked excitement and nervousness all at once, the ideas felt massive to me. And what she delivers here is pretty grand, yet deeply intimate.
For her concert, Mark stuck to the script, shooting her session at Palma restaurant in New York, a place she's called home since her high school days. This Tiny Desk (home) concert is a celebration of her stunning debut album, Three Dimensions Deep, and is handled with the same intricate attention to detail as she did for the album itself.
The dimensions Mark explored on the project are what she calls "without," "withheld," and "within." We're taken with her on a quest for answers to questions tied to her personal struggles with self-doubt, loss and heartbreak. She starts her concert with "On & On," which carries us from the "withheld" portion of the album right into a revelation of inner peace in songs like "Bliss" and "Worth It." Mark also slows it down and plays "Waiting" from her 2020 "COVERED-19" series.

Her vocal agility, her raspiness, her range! She’s incredible
Props to the bassist for successfully finding a way to fit a double bass, synth bass and the Fender all on one track (on 'Worth It'). We see you fam.

This is what Tiny Desk is about. Community, intimacy, love. There is so so much of all three of these ideals in this single tiny desk, and I think it's the most beautiful "at home" one yet!

She is the modern day Stevie Wonder mixed w a lil bit of Sade! Her music evokes such power out of your soul while remaining so sexy and chill. She keeps traditional sounding RNB alive w her modern sound❤️

SUFFERING FROM A BROKEN HEART? ARE YOU SO LOST YOU CANT SEE YOUR OWN REFLECTION ? DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE DIVING THREE DIMENSIONS DEEP? THE CELESTIAL AMBER MARK WILL TEACH YOU TO LOVE YOURSELF AND KNOW THAT YOUR WORTH IT. Trade places with me for just a moment… You are 22 years old, In the year 2022. Covid has officially been going on for 2 years in the USA as of this week. The second person whom you know you truly loved has broken up with you after dating for two years. He dumped you on your parents doorstep two months ago. You are are turning 23 on 03/29/22 And you are going to see Amber Mark’s performance at the Sinclair in Boston on March 28th, 2022 …. Dearest Star Stuff,, Your music is what’s keeping me alive right now Amber… all the numbers add up and all the stars have aligned. Thank you for making the hours go by and even though every minute kills me, I know that the healing and it’s just that healing hurts right now. Can’t wait to see you 🧡🧡🧡

Shoutout to Mark Yoshizumi and Madeleine Campbell for one of the best sounding performances in the home concert series. Also Cale Hawkins tucked away in the back doing a great job as always lol.
This is soul music. You can hear her sing from the depths. Marvelous.
Finally! Amber Mark is getting her due! She's amazing. "Competition" is my 2022 anthem.
Finding absolute gems like this is why Subscribing to NPR is one of the best decisions I've made. Straight 🔥
I've seen hundreds of performers live and they are rarely as good or better live than the record. She's one of the few that is! Incredible performer! Wow
So many of her songs are about her mother who died a few years ago and they really get me 😭😭😭

LOVE THIS! You can just tell how much she puts into her music. She is so great at making you feel exactly what she is feeling or seeing in her mind when she writes and I love it. She also doesn’t shy away from the less than savory parts of life like loss, grief, insecurity and heartbreak. But I feel like her music is the embodiment of “there is always a light at the end of the tunnel”. And don’t even get me started on how how her vocals stay smooth but she can go from delicate to raspy. Such a great grounded artist!

When that bliss song starts it gives me strong Jamiroquai (Alright) vibes. Amber is a fire vocalist.

Oh my goshhh! I love how Amber Mark's speaking voice is in the same register as her singing voice! I haven't really heard alot of artists like that. Makes sense why it sounds so smooth.
She's so talented, the band was amazing 👏👏👏👏
the italian restaurant scenery >>>
"Worth it" is so worth it!!!!
New album is absolutely heat glad to see her on tiny desk
The end with the band playing and the family interacting is everything.
love her so much i wish she would have performed more songs ahah, but so glad she's getting recognition omg
it's like she picked my very favorite songs for this. wow, more than enough about me. amber mark is the truth and one to watch and support
Congrats on your album Amber. Been a follower of yours since "Way Back". Love your music and artistry. You're an original. 💕
Such an amazing artist, super poetic. Listening to her makes me feel so safe, you can hear how deep her lyrics run in her voice. I love it!
This wasn’t long enough 😩I need moreeeee
I just love her and On & On is one of my favorite songs on the album. ❤️🙌🏽
So after listening to this for the 300000th time this time it hard. Best tiny desk concert everrrrr. And your family, there were two ladies at the table realllllly vibing to you the younger one was even singing along and the older one was transported by the music..her face was just pure joy. Thank you Amber.
She merges so many elements like bringing Motown soul rnb with her own originality vibe & that voice is so honey smooth I’ve said too much
my god this is so well recorded 🥰
This is insane!!! Waiting has so much emotion. She is Sade of our time. Well rounded artist, beautiful emotive lyrics, with spiritual components of growth and humanness, instruments crazy cool, rain stick?? sick.
I don't clicked on this one because it had a lot of views, and I'm happy that I did. "Worth It", is a funky track with great vibes.
I hope this album will be a hit of 2022.
Good sense of melody and phrasing. Tight band. This girl can go forward.
Definitely needs an acoustic album 🔥🔥🔥
So dope! If you don’t know already she’s one to watch!
It's already in the repeat because it's amazing! So good, so groovy! Greetings from Brazil!
I manifested this this week, now here it is!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I was just bumpin’ her debut albumm!!!!!
WOW!! I stayed hypnotized by her music and voice. First time I listen to her. Me quedé hipnotizado por su musica y voz. She reminds me TLC style,.
