Ledisi: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
Nov. 21, 2017 | Suraya Mohamed --Singer and songwriter Ledisi is a veteran R&B queen, which she immediately affirmed at the Tiny Desk with her powerful opening tune "Let Love Rule." It's the title song of her latest album, and a dazzling display of vocal range and technique. And yet, it hardly showcases the full scope of her artistic expertise. Classically trained, Ledisi is also celebrated as a jazz artist, which she clearly demonstrated when she broke out into a effortless scat outro on her second song, "I Blame You."
With nine Grammy nominations and an impressive discography, it's easy to be awed by her musical accomplishments. But in person, what's just as impressive as her exquisite artistry is her radiant spirit of contentment and grace. You can see it when Terrell, her makeup artist, goes behind the desk between songs to powder her face. (It was an exceptionally hot day.) Ledisi responded to the interruptions not like a diva, but with humor, humility and gratitude.
The lyrics to the third song, "Add To Me," speak to having self-confidence and ensuring self-care in any relationship: "I've been in a spiritual space / So when it's getting hard, don't break / Show me you're a winner, I don't need a quitter / How you gon' add to me?" Ledisi finishes the set with a tribute to Prince and even more positive messaging. "High" is about being high on life - a reminder that no matter what chaos and circumstances exist, we should all find one good thing to love every day.
Set List
"Let Love Rule"
"I Blame You"
"Add To Me"

Most likely whites who doesn't like Michelle Obama because Michele said her favorite singer is Ledisi. Also for the fact that Ledisi is still hardcore R&B, and can truly sing. After 2010 whites plotted and planned to kill R&B music as we know it and rebrand it in the form of this new junk that we are listening to today where white artists like Justin Timberlake and Beier and these others that I can't name, try to give us their stolen imitation of r&b pop. If you look at most of Ledisi videos on KZread you will see how high the thumbs down numbers are, it's no one other than whites who are hating on the last of the real black soulful vocals and musical instruments of true R&B. These crackkas are raising the number of dislikes to discourage young black people's from listening to Ledisi, or feel that it's not trending.

Omg the background singer was everything !!!!! She carried it hands down on her own
The background singer and the 2 instrumentalists are amazing. They did incredible! This is one of my favorite Tiny desk. ✌🏿🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
...the way she puts herself inside the music and embodies every melody and expression inside and out--just...wow. She is one of my favorite musicians. I say musician, because that's what she is. Love her voice and personality. She has a beautiful gift. And of course, her band and bg-vocalist was dope!
THAT DAMN LEDISI! AND HER SQUAD!!! “High” is my ish!!! And she snatched me BAWL!

Omg I died when I read this.. Knew EXACTLY what u meant!
Ledisi' background singer is AMAZING-if you can hang with Ms Ledisi you can SANG 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
She exudes PASSION and EMOTIONS! Such a joyous performance, a POWERHOUSE!!! Such a fun time, couldn't help but dance!!
Ledisi just woke up my voice. I recently lost my daughter and lost reason to believe that I can do things better. I have kept quiet for the longest two years, fearing that I may never be able to strip the emotion from voice. She gives me reason to open up once more. Thank you Ledisi. I heal every time I hear your high cords, and subtle flow. I never did the singing for recognition but for love. She is the love I live for. My King and I are recovering, daily. Peace be upon all those who seek healing from melody. It's a gift we ought to treasure in your people.

Ledisi is a BEAST ❤️
One of the best desk performances I've seen so far.
Hats off to Audio Engineer, Josh Rogosin, and Sara Williams on your background vocal artistry, as well as Kerry Marshall on guitar and percussionist, James Agnew. You all, enable Ledisi to shine in this NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert video presentation.

What kind of drum was that very interested in sound ♥️♥️
This is so organic. I love it.
What exactly was the purpose of the microphones again? The whole building can clearly hear them singing. There was definitely ZERO work done at NPR that day.
