Dua Lipa: Tiny Desk Concert

[@WBee-jg8eg]

​​Everyone in her band including the backup singers are smiling ear to ear! I love it and it speaks volumes..Good vibes

[@cav5506]

She is the Chill Queen ❤

[@anaressurreicao7112]

Like in the first tiny desk in 2020. That was the main reason I started to follow this artists. For their happiness in playing!❤

[@Pvcmaintenence]

Better than Rihanna and Gaga

[@soyfrancoleonel]

She's a real artist, no degenerate songs♡

[@JoeMM5]

*backing vocalists They deserve respect for this performance and backup singers is a very devaluing term since they’re not there for backup they’re hard working vocalists!😊😊

[@Blu3Knigh1]

The drummer smiling so big is contagious!

[@TaurusKing808]

hes feeling the radical optimism!!

[@ivmanitas3786]

If you look at the band line-up, you can see his nickname is actually "Smiley" :)

[@notknown6605]

He looks deranged

[@MohdRashidi-l6j]

That’s why this team call him Smiley. Smiley is one of Dua’s backbone since her early days.

[@GameThrone20774]

He’s just so proud of dua especially since he’s practically seen it all, he’s probably been there during her debut era performances through her future nostalgia era which literally took over the world and ngl i wouldn’t be able to contain my pride if i was him

[@chickenclips]

the sound they squeeze out of these tiny desk concerts actually amazes me. It sounds spectacular on my budget headphones. Give Audio Engineer: Tiffany Vera Castro a raise

[@nuthinbutlove]

this

[@chloe.cordeiro]

AGREEEED

[@Aia-ky7uh]

oh dear, she had fake cancerous substance implants in, we thought she was all real but we see where it's going, the singing sounds awful and raspy (and not in a XTINA way)

[@SocialboutMedia]

Sounds like something Tiffany Vera Castro would say..

[@nemesaenz8793]

He could do a better job on some of the sessions. Some singers/genres require different processing (ie more compression).

[@HazelDanso]

yesss. I believe it's the most viewed tiny desk of all time

[@Roenick85]

[@iriacabral5265]

her tiny desk from home was the reason i got into tiny desks in the first place. amazing performance, crazy talented band. this one is just as beautiful!

[@Saukingalpha]

The desk doesn't see to be.tiny

[@JackFate76]

Fun fact: This tiny desk performance here might be the reason I start getting into Dua Lipa. Can’t stand the overproduced stuff she releases, but this is actually really really good.

[@abovethenorm6521]

Same. The home one was why I started watching them and Dua's original is still my favorite.

[@treyjohnson1277]

Hearing These Walls in this version just makes me want to replay the song even more. This tiny concert is so good 😭

[@Lintybaybay]

Watching the tiny desk 3-4 years ago is why I’m a big fan of Dua. She really has the whole package 🫶🏾

[@TrixieMatteI]

that doesnt make any sense

[@bjc1219]

@@TrixieMatteI Yes it does. She did one in 2020 from her home studio and it's easily top 5 tiny desk concerts ever (with the obvious note it was on her home court).

[@sarahcorvidae3573]

the pianist!! so beautiful to see those manners from classical training here in this session 🔥

[@austinmartin6918]

I was just thinking about how they look classically trained. People that play keys for rock and pop don’t usually do that, but it’s nice to see.

[@TheMsCroft]

Shes soooo graceful

[@4StringGoddess]

She sounds phenomenal acoustically - the overproduction of the radio edits do not do her justice! This is amazing!!

[@ijmad]

She's got a fantastic voice. Always blown away with her acoustic performances.. Check out Lost In Your Light at Glastonbury in 2017, amazing.

[@Lamafiasiberiana]

I am actually slightly disappointed by her performance here. Really good modulation but not as much depth to it as I thought there was. Sounds as if her sinuses were blocked. Great voice nevertheless.

[@Aia-ky7uh]

oh dear, she had fake cancerous substance implants in, we thought she was all real but we see where it's going, the singing sounds awful and raspy (and not in a XTINA way)

The word you're looking for is phenomenal. Pre-nominal means preceding a noun.

[@Braticaloptimism]

@@ijmad her sam smith and “I’d rather go blind” cover is good too.

[@RazzUK]

This is my neighbor's kid, it's so wonderful to see her all grown up and successful

[@Morphmaze]

thats adorable. i saw her in concert and she is one of the best performers ive ever seen.

[@mantisbog]

Definitely a lie I'll keep in my back pocket to do some trolling down the line.

[@MohdRashidi-l6j]

Dua may be a part of his/her life as a neighbour’s daughter once. You never knew a little girl who once your next door resident now all grown up and successful. Not everyone is a liar. Just be happy that someone who once in her life feeling happy and proud of her.

[@michaelfleming528]

I was so fortunate to see her seven years ago in a small club in downtown St. Petersburg Florida. $20 to get in and they had a full bar. It was just her and three band members. No choreography no wardrobe changes and I knew I was witnessing something very special. She deserves everything that she is receiving now.

[@larissaloren23]

Me too saw her in a free concert ! Loved it knew she would become famous ❤

[@ernestoceledon5875]

Mee too!!! Orlando Florida. God blessed us

[@johns2mc]

Ruby's Elixir? Awesome.

[@diegosolano3570]

I saw her opening for Troye Sivan for like 20$, and have seen her on each of her tours; however, I’ve been priced out of this next tour with decent tickets going for at least 700 CAD

[@fernandomora8759]

I’m so happy for finally hear these walls live. One of my favorite songs from the album

[@jericawood8565]

Voice of velvety gritty sensual sound~ what a lovely way to hear her without a lot of production taking over the delivery of what she’s got to offer vocally. Love me some tiny desk sessions♥️

[@markboron5581]

she sounds amazing! love the little rasp on some of the high notes. so much character!

[@michaelborgerding88]

Dua on Tiny Desk hits different! Her voice and the band’s vibe make it feel so special. This show is an instant favorite! 🎶❤

[@cravingattention2771]

The vibe between musicians is so wholesome!!! Hope someday I'll again feel this joy of playing together

[@lorenzo0456]

These Walls is one her best songs, I love her voice 😭😭😭

[@Marie_Arty]

Yep 😭

[@HuyNguyen-en4pr]

heard that song from her acl performance and it was definitely one of my favorites from her whole set

[@Essex626]

One of my favorite things about Tiny Desk is the recontextualization of pop artists who I might not be the biggest fan of, but who really hit the spot for me in these very personal, more stripped down settings.

[@mistermclaren]

Couldn't have said it better myself. Nelly Furtardo and Justin Timberlake being prime examples!

[@TheDDangler]

This version of Happy for You is beyond gorgeous 😭

[@sweatynachos1422]

IKR!

[@Apocrypha303]

Absolutely love how she sings and then just uses her accent to say a few words. Absolutely beautiful.

[@MrOkay78]

my humble comment - the drummer's smile is absolutely dazzling :)

[@beganny]

[@filipjecz]

I only discovered her recently but her music is so... unique. Listening to her is like a concentrated dose of serotonin straight to your veins - her music just makes you grin, it makes you dance. It legitimately improved my humor when I felt down recently. This woman is really something else.

[@KLAUS-N10i50m]

I fully agree with you! It happened the same to me❤

[@s1n-n3d]

that tinydesk from 2020 of dua lipa was unforgettable. followed by this, chef's kiss

[@josephben9297]

No sólo es bella, es talentosa además canta y compone sus canciones! Mi amor por siempre y a tu trabajo!

[@billbligh4547]

Happy For You - is a refreshingly mature and caring take on a relationship ending. She never fails to inspire with her intellect and sense of joy. A class act indeed.

[@lipuz6026]

I love the pianist's vibe with all my heart

[@itnoked]

Everyone is just radiating “happy to be here” vibes despite how talented every single person that performed is! And Dua is just stunning as always…never thought I’d be into pop like this haha

[@aronfilbert4967]

I absolutely love it when the artists introduce their bandmates and fellow performers. Speaks volumes. They killed it in this one.

[@imkalachan]

i wish artists would release their tiny desk sessions on platforms like spotify and apple music😞

[@arnebey]

Almost 500K views in 5 hours!!! That tells you everything you have to know about Dua Lipa! Years ago she magically popped up on a video, a roof top in (of all places), I think Moscow. It was just Dua Lipa and a guitar accompanist and I immediately knew. Showed my wife and said, this gal's going to be a super star and BOOOOM! A once in a generation artist!

[@belllllm]

I will always defend this album, ppl really did it dirty. I love the album and I wish ppl understood it more, this era all her dreams come true -She sold out two stadiums -Worked with Tame impala -Cher offered her a duet -RO also did pretty good on the charts And most importantly she’s happier, ppl tend to forget that in the FN she was very stressed.
