Yebba - One More Smile (Live at Electric Lady)

[@nickabate9372]

She replied to a DM I sent her last week with a paragraph not just a liked comment or one word response - she replied to all the things I said in my message, provided empathy with a personal situation, and gave me some words of hope for the future. I was so moved by her taking the time to answer me, especially at a time I was at a very low point emotionally, it was a blessing and she is a gift :)))

[@matheuscoelho2989]

Omg, my dream

[@victoriachristensen6324]

Aww im so happy to hear that you had such a nice experience❤ its the WORST feeling when people ignore you when you're being vulnerable, so i can imagine how good it felt to get a whole hearted response! I wish you a whole lot of luck, and for life to become everything you want once this hard time passes for you ☺ and it *will* pass! 🌻

[@poshylittleprincess1056]

That is super special! It shows she’s a real person. It’s nice when someone you admire reaches out to you with encouragement💁‍♀️ I complimented Jill Scott once in comments by telling her I was her #1 fan and she came after me like she was a rabid animal or something. Scolding me me that “it’s not a competition!” She’s a real fan hating meanie! Needless to say I’m no longer a fan🤮

[@mylesthered3614]

Yebba really pays attentions to her supporters! She’s liked, retweeted and commented back on my tweets as well, it just makes me love her more

[@diegoviews9058]

I can't get enough of James' playing... so lovely.

[@raycole2822]

James Francies's contribution to Yebba's music is hard to overstate; like pianist Aaron Parks's contribution to Emma Frank's music. Both James and Aaron are accomplished jazz pianists who bring mad skills to their supporting roles.

What the hell did they do to that piano?!! The compression and whatever effects laid on it, sounds so unique and ethereal. So beautiful.

[@ryanjackkay]

its how they spread it in the stereo mix. the piano could have a wide spread her voice could have narrow spread and just reverb. it gives the illusion to your ears that the piano is coming at different angels while the voice is right in front of you

[@mcwilbear]

@@ryanjackkay yup. Mixing is magic!

[@BEARBAER]

If anyone knows the engineer or anyone that has more info on how this was mixed and what was used I’d be keen to know 🙏🏼

[@reverently]

i reallllllly want a version of this with just the piano and i can’t find it anywhere 💔

[@blackerson21044]

It looks to be a Yamaha upright with a mute/muffler rail felt engaged between the hammers and strings, processed with a deep reverb. You can see it clearly at 2:00.

[@ThriftDiving]

Yebba is ANOINTED y’all. That’s why she gives us chills.

[@sarahedwardsPR]

Amen she is

[@ReeseDee]

Besides the obvious things, Im loving that vintage sound and how it creeps through the beginning of the song, like shes walking through an abandoned house where the stuff was all just left there untouched for 50 yrs - pots on the stove, slippers by the sofa.

[@anissat-tech]

Literally got a lump in my throat reading that.... such a powerful, ethereal visual to match the sound...

[@wildlifegardenssydney7492]

I feel that too, Miss Havisham vibe……but Yebba is singing about the visiting spirit , the ghost of her mother, memories interwoven with her longings for more time..more smiles…with her

I pray the world hears your voice for its true talent and beauty and opens wide to you. True unadulterated talent is becoming rare in a world where anyone with some talent can be heard, you truly stand out from the rest.

[@juanmcgruderjr6982]

As a jazz vocalist, I have ALWAYS appreciated Yebba's commitment to flying deep into a modal closet and throwing out the most melodically appealing lines I've ever heard. Her collaborative accompanists must be so proud to work with her, from James Francies, Robert Glasper, PJ Morton, and sooo many more!!! She is in a class by herself. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Yebba!!!

[@monicarenee7949]

I love how she’s like some wild unreal mix of gospel, jazz, r&b, and folk music, some of everything. I can only attempt to mimic her choices but I never would have been able to come up with them on my own.

I've never cried to a song so much in my life. This was like therapy. It has me contemplating a lot of my life. Yebba has an outstanding talent that I hope isn't squashed by the music industry. She embodies all of the greats. Very powerful, very other worldly talent.

[@lcaldwell3rd]

Well.... dont listen to Heartbreak if you don't wanna cry. I think her mom died or committed suicide, like the first night she performed somewhere big if I recall what I read. Heartbreak is to her mom. I cant listen to it without balling my eyes out. I went to call my mom and play Heartbreak one day, and I remembered I can't. She's gone. Cried the rest of that day. Reading that Abbey lost her mom made it hit harder.

[@lcaldwell3rd]

Yebba = her mom's nickname for her.... her real name backwards.

[@onoolapoabodunde]

​@lcaldwell3rd 😢 I was listening to Drake's album when I found out someone I really love has passed. I was numb and then Heartbreak came on.... and ever since whenever I hear the song my heart breaks a little more.
