Tinashe: Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
Alanté Serene | February 16, 2024
Tinashe has never been one-dimensional. With the many titles of singer, songwriter, producer, engineer and dancer under her belt, she came to the Tiny Desk and proved just that. A snow storm may have kept many Washington, D.C. natives in their home that day, but Tinashe was at the office bright and early with an infectious smile and spirit that would warm up any chill in the building.
Since starting her music career in 2007, Tinashe has created songs in genres spanning from pop to electro-R&B. And as the Aquarius said herself, "at this point, I've really demonstrated that I don't necessarily fit into one genre." At the Tiny Desk, Tinashe presents cuts from several different projects. First, comforting the crowd with the vulnerability of "Treason," from her album BB/Ang3l, accompanied by a vibraphone which she plays live for the first time ever. Tinashe switches gears with "Unconditional," the Kaytranada-produced track off her album 333. Then the artist performed one of her self-proclaimed favorite tracks, "Touch And Go," from her album Songs for You. To conclude her high-energy set, Tinashe performed her breakout single, "2 On," right on time for its 10-year anniversary. As I sang, danced and cheered along with the rest of the crowd, I thought to myself, this is a show worth trekking through the snow for.

I know that the album has been released, but please tell @Tinashe to make "Treason" a video and drop this as a single. It's different, and it feels a bit country. 💯📈
Victoria Monet finally got her flowers in 2023-2024. Now it's time for Tinashe to get hers. This woman's musicality, like Victoria's is just so distinct and beautiful. (And I'm still mad about "Songs For You" not getting the love it deserves as one of the best albums of 2019.) Tinashe's time is coming sooner rather than later and I'm here for it! Thank you Tiny Desk for having her and starting to place people in Tinashe's time zone 😎🙌🏾

Truth! Singers sound so much better with a working microphone than without one! It's so hard for an artist to convey the power and emotion of a song with a dead microphone, so we should also give a shout out to the equipment crew for keeping that mic fully charged and available.

Tinashe is so underrated... On top of that, not everyone sounds this good with a live band (and the band was kicking)!!!
A lot of artists put together some really pleasant arrangements for these sets, and I often wish that it could be how their music normally sounds. This girl could bring the vibraphone to the airwaves! Really good performance, really well-arranged. Props to the drummer/musical director.

Treason is one of the best opening tracks I've heard in a while. I hope someday she has her own personal acoustic concert or EP or album even. This was great, and also awesome she plays vibraphone (percussion squad 🥁). My only complaint is that it was too short!
she looks prettier than ever

You can throw any new artists as comparison. But you can’t replicate the skill level nor the professional producing. Tinashe is one of the only female dancers and music engineers we have.
first time listening to treason and its sooo beautiful. such dark vibes, like cold twilight scenes kind of lol. I love it
all these acoustic versions are insanely good. she's perfect.
Tinashe pure talent, thanks NPR for bringing her!!!
I literally EMAILED through the NPR website asking them to bring Tinashe to Tiny Desk. I am so happy!!! She is the most multi-dimensional artist and a true visionary! Her art has moved me and inspired me tremendously! I am a huge fan!!!
The mic was low, but happy to see her here ! Finally !
6:52 I’ve always appreciated T & her variety of music choices! She seems to have fun creating her albums! (wish her mic was louder…she has a beautiful voice)
These 4 songs don't even BEGIN to scratch the surface of her catalog, bcos what??? She could've easily fitted a 15-song medley into these 17 minutes
Treasons arrangement was so gorgeous wow
staring off with treason.. like im levitating fr. tinashe i love you dearly.
I love this!!! I agree that the sound of the instruments took a spot over Tinashe's singing, but she did great nonetheless and I much rather hear these songs with new instruments either way. I never liked "2 On" but this new version, all grown up and sexy, is right up my alley! Kudos to the whole band and NPR... and Tinashe of course, these re arrangements were all interesting and original 🥰
My god, this women can smile, sing, play vibes and compose. She sings like an angel. Not familiar with her. Tiny desk has done it again. Thank you npr.😊
