Tank: 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.
Ashley Pointer | June 14, 2023
It's practically a sin to not have Durrell "Tank" Babbs on your spiciest playlist - he's penned some of the steamiest records in R&B. If you've been following our Black Music Month takeover, it's likely you spotted Tank accompanying Babyface, the love maestro himself, on background vocals. In his own concert, the veteran crooner and R&B scholar performed a 14-song medley of passionate love songs and bedroom bops from across his 23 years-long career in music, and turned the Tiny Desk into "the big, nasty Desk."
This doesn't happen without warning: "Some of these songs make you wanna make up. Some of these songs make you wanna breakup and some of these songs make you want to participate in various sexual activities," Tank declared before traversing his catalog. Backed by the phenomenal Florida-based MVP Band, along with a trio of famed background vocalists - singer-songwriter-actor Luke James, singer Brooke Valentine and songwriter/producer Lonny Bereal - we got a taste of the songs that not only established Tank as a pillar in R&B, but hits he wrote and produced for other notable artists such as Jamie Foxx, Omarion, Marques Houston and LeToya Luckett.
Full of buttery smooth runs and yearning melodies (along with the occasional, witty HR joke), Tank's Tiny Desk concert is a stellar display of how powerful the allure of R&B can be, and perhaps a masterclass for any youngin' learning how to woo.

He provides opportunities for others and has been the bridge for a lot of our favorite artists. New age version of Babyface. He's important to R&B Music for real. Tank literally brought out some of the most talented background singers. They don't get their flowers or the respect they should get. Lonny is a real one for sure.

Facts!!
Some of the Tiny Desks are Phenomenal! Tank & Luke James in the background!! Just like Tank was background for Babyface when he did his Tiny Desk!!! Always a fan!!! Luke James needs to do one & it would be 🔥 🔥 👍💯!!!!
Luke James is so underrated, he sounds impeccable here and it really made me smile. I was pleasantly surprised to see Brooke, l have always loved her voice! Great performance from Tank as well! ✨
I'm loving the mixture of the background singers who had their own careers but still humble enough to sing background. Tank is hilarious lol

They’re networking for their inner circle. It’ll help them get their own TD Episode too. Genius marketing.

Luke used to be Tank’s background singer before he blew up. It’s only right to bring him back
