Hania Rani on Tiny Desk. I’ve been waiting for this for years. Incredibly talented and charismatic musician. From Esja to Les Invalides and now here. Her art and personality evident in any setting. ❤️

It's been over a year I'm completely obsessed with her music! That's almost a therapy.

On a recent concert in Utrecht, Don't Break My Heart was (or felt like?) 20 minutes of complete hypnosis with enveloping sensations and laser visuals. Unforgettable. So happy to see Hania get this recognition - we all know that an invitation to Tiny Desk is the highest form of musical praise:)

She is a true musical genius of the 21st century... 😍😍😍🌹🌹🌹.. Getting better, getting better... And her voice!!.. She is acquiring soprano levels.. I can't live without hearing and seeing her every day!! 😍😍😍

I had the honor to attend her art live two days ago at Paradiso - Amsterdam. What - an - artist! The concert was a secret present for my wife who never heard her before. I wanted to witness the magic of a true first listening in a human being who is prone to beauty. She was already enchanted by Hania’s instrumental intro. But - oh my - when she blossomed into the harmony with her pure voice! What a magical feeling.

Hania's voice into different mics, the piano, the double bass, the synths - all perfectly balanced. NPR's sound engineer does it again. Kudos!

so happy to see a polish woman on tiny desk

Wow! Such an incredible set! I’ve never seen or heard this artist before, and after this small sample, I’m left wanting more. I’m not a big commenter here, but felt like I have to leave my two cents after this experience, if anything, for a personal record. I've never heard anything like this. Period. What a musical treat, I wasn’t expecting or prepared for. It’s as if I just tried a new delicate food for the first time, unlike anything I’d ever tasted. And with this taste in my mouth, I try to dissect what ingredients must have gone into its creation. I taste hints of early-days Depeche Mode genius pianist Alan Wilder (heavily inspired by Philip Glass), paired with Amnesiac-era Radiohead, with a side of Hope Sandoval and Beth Gibbons on vocals - with a sprinkle of the beautiful unpredictability of a Bjork track. I don't want to compare, but I’m left trying to process what I just heard and understand how this could feel so new, and powerfully familiar at the same time. I never would have discovered this artist without NPR/Tiny Desk. Thank you!
