Dermot Kennedy: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Музыка

Aug. 24, 2018 | Stephen Thompson -- Dermot Kennedy took this assignment seriously. The Dublin singer-songwriter wasn't content with merely re-creating his songs as they sound in the studio, or stripping lavish productions down to simple acoustic arrangements. So he got himself a gospel choir.
More specifically, Kennedy and his band flew in from Ireland a day ahead of time to meet and rehearse with members of Washington, D.C.'s Howard Gospel Choir. Every arrangement was painstakingly plotted ahead of time, so that every note would be perfect.
Two of the songs Kennedy performs here ("Moments Passed" and "An Evening I Will Not Forget") pop up on an EP he released this year with hip-hop producer Mike Dean, and both sound radically different in this performance. They're still forceful - and still centered on the singer's elastic, bombastic voice - but also looser, warmer, more open.
Put simply, they sound like the work of a future star: a modest former busker (and current NPR Slingshot artist) with a voice built to fill stadiums in more ways than one.
Set List
"Moments Passed"
"An Evening I Will Not Forget"
"Glory"
Personnel
Dermot Kennedy (vocals, guitar); Kieran Jones (keyboards/effects); Jonny Coote (piano); Micheál Quinn (drums); Keila Mumphord, Taylor Nevels, Chamille Boyd, Jazmine Thomas (backing vocals)
Credits
Producers: Stephen Thompson, Bronson Arcuri, Morgan Noelle Smith; Creative Director: Bob Boilen; Audio Engineers: Suraya Mohamed, Josh Rogosin; Videographers: Bronson Arcuri, CJ Riculan, Khun Minn Ohn, Niki Walker; Production Assistant: Catherine Zhang; Photo: Eslah Attar/NPR.

    How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.

    I sent this song to a friend this morning because her daughter is a songwriter and I knew she needed to hear this man. Come to find out that friend responds... that her brother picked his gf up from work the other day, and on the way home the car flipped and she did not make it. It gave me chills to hear that she would be passing the song along to him to help heal. I relistened with tears. It brought his music to life, and that's crazy because it was already full of life. Music Heals.

    Beautiful metaphor. The december as a representative of the cold, dark period of time, but with its small moments of beauty (christmas, new year) translates to these sad periods we sometimes find ourselves in, yet Dermot tells us that there is always this window of happiness amongst our darkest hours. Also, the december symbolises the end of something old and the beginning of something new. The line works on many levels and is a marvel to listen to.
