[@professorXcross]

I think there's nothing better than a lead being as good as the background singers. Background singers are usually up to par or better from what I've picked up. I bet you there's always that one background singer lookin' at the crowd the same way the black kid looks at the grape drank. lol

[@reimourrpower9357]

True. At 50 I think I've heard everything but these young artists are staking their ground in in Soul today. HER and Daniel Caesar are right in the legacy of Marvin, Chaka, Teena, Omar, Van Hunt, etc.

[@sabelogule9910]

True that, the soul/R'nB music scene looks exciting again.

[@labibwajdi3169]

Frank and Daniel are changing the game. No offense to R&B titans before (Chris Brown, Ne-Yo) but this new generation is wayyy better than 2000s R&B imo.

[@ashleyeason211]

Harrison Ave indeed!!!!

[@soulstarmusiclover1254]

I don't care what they say rhythm and blues is in our DNA. It will be years from now and it will survive the test of time. R&B is what we are, the natural movement in our body and soul.

I finally saw him live last night! He’s such a humble person, everytime the crowd screams for him he smiles shyly. There’s no trace of arrogance in him. As expected, he sounds like the recording - even better! The band he was with was also very good, especially the man on the keyboard he laughs everytime the crowd screams. Amazing artists and performers. Even if the whole crowd was screaming, the vibe of the show was just super calm and grounded. He’s such a star, but he doesn’t act like one. I’m truly blessed to have been there 💐

im so kelly. bless..

maria exactly

[@keziacalesta4113]

I agree! Watched him perform live in Jakarta, Indonesia and it was AMAZING. When he sang "Blessed", it was unforgettable - the "I'm coming back home" part almost felt like... a worship session. Everyone was singing on to every word, nodding with closed eyes, hands up in the air. And of course, his voice is exceptional!

[@iloveyoufor10000years]

Kezia Calesta i know and same with the freudian choir part? That was the intro to his show when he came to my city and honestly? Experiencing it live was so unreal? Like my soul felt that

These little performances are better than some award shows

I saw Daniel Caesar under a muddy ass tent at bonnaroo and it was will easily my favorite show. He signed merch on stage and performed with an authenticity I haven't seen in a long time. I cried. Please don't ever change, Mr. Caesar. 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

[@xavierbourassa3779]

i cried firs. There, I said it.

[@brittanysullivan6507]

Saw him at Boston Calling and I was moved to tears as well! Us Sullivans get it :)

[@EvanPavon212]

I got to see Daniel Caesar live with my girlfriend and it is still, this day, one of the best experiences ever. His voice is just 👌👌👌

You really don't appreciate an artist's vocal and musical ability until you hear it on Tiny Desk. Lol. I liked his music before but now I'm like "Damn, Daniel!" He's so perfect. They are all so perfect!😖

[@TjJackson2012]

12:53.... The Drummer is an ENTIRE MOOD! I'm here for it! That's when you knew he enjoyed the moment!

[@NoahDavidFrancis]

He and the bass player are having a staring contest he’s just waiting on “if you love me won’t you say something” so he can say something lol

[@mayowaolowojolu1427]

Still the best tiny desk performance ever … 2024 and it still slaps so hard

that would be Mac miller close 2nd

[@omarjohnson1027]

Anyone give props to that Bass player on these tracks? She was playing exactly the right notes, at exactly the right time, with exactly the right runs. Pure gold. Pino Palladino would have been proud lady. Bless

the drummer just looks so happy to be there

[@ania5378]

He’s such an angel

[@H4GS]

The fact they haven’t made a “Best of NPR Tiny Desk” album is CRIMINAL. I know the Mac performance was just released on vinyl (which I got) but I think EVERYONE agrees that whoever the sound engineer is for NPR is just the absolute best ever. Of course the band members on each performance are amazing as well but whoever is in control of the sound should be nominated for a grammy, not joking in the slightest.

[@ramawaristr]

hands down to those beautiful backing vocals!!
