Babyface: Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
NPR Music is celebrating Black Music Month with an array of brand new Tiny Desk concerts. Together, these artists represent the past, present and future of Black music. This month of carefully curated shows is a celebration of Black artists expressing themselves in ways we've never seen before, and of the Tiny Desk's unique way of showcasing that talent.
Nikki Birch | June 9, 2023
I was working late when Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds first arrived at the office to rehearse for his Tiny Desk concert. Within moments, it was clear it would be an exceptional performance. The next day, my colleagues waited patiently to see the legendary singer, songwriter and producer. Because when it comes to matters of the heart, Babyface has turned our angst, our triumphs, our devastation, into timeless love songs that have scored the romances of more than one generation.
Joined by top-tier talent - Tank, Chanté Moore and Avery Wilson - Babyface came out swinging. From the songs that put him on the map, to those he wrote or produced for other icons, around the room hit after hit was met with swoons, sighs and not a few tears. (Ok, maybe that was just me.)
Babyface is a titan of the music industry: with numerous top 10 hits, 12 Grammys (50 nominations) and a jaw-dropping roster of collaborations. In 2022, he assembled a stellar ensemble of women for one of my favorite albums of the year, Girls Night Out. To watch this master of pen and sound behind the Tiny Desk was truly epic and nothing short of a dream come true.

My goodness, this woman is underrated. People rarely discuss her using those whistle notes like it nothing. Beautiful woman with an equally beautiful voice ❤.
2024 and this is the only Tiny Desk performance I keep playing back 2 back. Chantè Moore and Avery Wilson have me in a trance.
Absolutely love this. Babyface's vocals and writing skills are amazing. So talented
Avery’s voice is something special

Yes, I didn't realize he wrote so many songs, even for Fall Out Boy, wow! He can sho nuff write some songs, lol.
Chante has a beautiful voice. She's a natural soprano. I've never heard her sing in a low register before but she's great. Very versatile.
A genius, arguably the GOAT of Soul&RnB, specially if u look at what a warm kind of person he is and letting other artist shine. He could go for hours with this session, don’t forget to mention the other hits he wrote& produced some ; “ Slow Jam, Rock wit’cha , Rock steady, Every little step, Song for mama, Best thing i never had, There goed my baby, All night long,Missing you,Baby Baby Baby and probably many more i forgot or didnt know.
