FIRST TIME HEARING : YEBBA - "MY MIND" | POWERFUL VOICE!! WOW

[@anitapaulus937]

She recently released a live performance of her song “Boomerang”, and she did a Tiny Desk Concert on PBS that’s really good. Oh, and she released a song on Apple called “Evergreen” that is excellent.

[@ABtheKreator]

Oh ok thanks

[@regolf.d6519]

The fact that this performance doesn’t have a Grammy Award is criminal!!! I defy anybody to find a better live performance of any song ANYWHERE……

[@ABtheKreator]

Facts

[@creinicke1000]

YEBBA is a wonderful rabbit hole.

[@erinmoriarity4775]

Absolutely nailed it with your assessment that this performance is in fact Tropicana with No Bulk. Periodt.

[@deirdrelegge]

You are hilarious! Welcome to the world of the vocal beast, Yebba. She has collaborated with Ed Sheeren (a must see), PJ Morton, A$AP Rocky, Mark Ronson, Sam Smith, Drake and Chance the Rapper. Also her duet with Clark Beckham is amazing and beg you to react to her new single called Boomerang - the live version is everything!!

[@ABtheKreator]

Yeah she got some pipesb

[@patriciadavis1393]

This is a once in a lifetime performance because I don't know with everything that happened to her at that time if she could replicate this performance. They talk about good singers there's no odd tune there's nothing to hide the brilliance of her performance

[@PamelaCorkum]

You need to listen to the duet she did with Clark Beckham doing John Mayer's Gravity. Believe me you won't regret it.

[@stormyermatinger6295]

I only have two words for this performance: hauntingly beautiful

[@BenjiLewisMusic]

I just absolutely love all of your reactions and facial expressions whole way through, relatable. Has been with me for years, still the same yep wow

[@jonathongeorge3093]

Her voice is absolutely amazing! Check out "Evergreen"... she also kills it on some collabs - check out "Gravity" w/Clark Beckham 🔥 & "Smoke" with Luke Levinson.

[@terrigail7]

Totally agree!!

[@lutdesimpelaere2947]

Heart wrenching performance. Seen it many times, still gets to me. Yebba has an amazing, soulful voice. There’s nobody quite like her

[@alanwhetstone3922]

And that's that one.

[@ABtheKreator]

Facts 🔥🔥🔥

[@chelseafromthebayou]

When you said "what's his name?" I literally in my mind said STEVE!!!

[@suzonlommel3737]

Yebba is so bloody awesome. That voice always hits me the in heart or the soul.

[@ABtheKreator]

Just wow 😯

[@Van1973Auken]

Isn't Yebba fantastic!!!!! Great reaction as always AB! ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👍

[@airalynsaudade483]

yes please Evergreen Gravity October sky Yebba needs to be heard and experienced

[@isabellem.3596]

Please react to YEBBA’s tiny desk concert!!! You will be BLOWN away. This is my favorite solo performance of hers but her tiny desk concert is a CLOSE second!!! She is amazing

[@marisagettas]

My god. I want to give her a thousand hugs (if she likes hugs, of course). What a riveting performance. Edited to add: WHAT'S THE REASON, STEVEN?!?

[@iamlpinthe312]

Everybody has already listed the songs and I second them all! I’ve watched this ~100 times and it still gets to me. Real name is Abbey Smith but she goes by the nickname her mother called her , Yebba. She is just phenomenal.

[@diananunez7]

You are in for a treat! It´s yeh-bba. The singer/songwriter of a generation in my opinion....Ella, Aretha, Joni, Chaka, Jazmine. I discovered her during the lockdown. She is magic! Her first album came out in September of this year. Produced by Mark Ronson (has produced Amy Winehouse, Bruno Mars...). The album is called "Dawn" which refers to a new day for her as well as the name of her mother. She lost her to suicide a week after My mind was recorded live. The video blew up and she subsequently donated all the proceedings to a national foundation for mental health research. She has done so many collaborations these past four years....like I said you are in for a treat! Thanks for the reaction!

[@gaylamcwhorter2458]

I have been waiting for this one!!! Please react to Clack Beckham & Yebba “Gravity”.

[@jeffstumpf9129]

Her name is Abigail Elizabeth Smith but is Yebba when she does collaborative performances. Or, so we were told one time. Now it seems that she goes by Yebba professionally.

[@runyunhyde4373]

Yebba is Abbey spelled backwards. It's what Nana called her

[@smeasy18]

Love your reaction man!! Keep it up!! Also just wanted to mention her name is pronounced yeh-buh

[@avionterria7855]

Her breakout performance. She was signed immediately after this song. You are hilarious! It's Yeah-ba, by the way 🤣

[@BrownskinB7777]

Man you had me dying 🤣😩😂 “ what he do”

[@jeniferdavis4460]

First of all, yes she has a fan base. 2nd , you love oh too much. 3rd, check out One More Smile. Not only is she great, but James is as well.

[@mamaflush9945]

You've found a Goal mine... "Yebba and Clark Beckham - Gravity feat. YEBBA by John Mayer" and "Evergreen - Yebba (Live at Mercury Lounge)" and best of all "Abbey Smith AKA Yebba Smith -Sunday Night Soul"

[@yahweheloim]

Best reaction

[@patriciadavis1393]

OK I am rewatching this for I don't know how many times but I'm buzz this time and you make me laugh so much you're so. Silly and i'm down for it. This is the most powerful emotionalive performance Is ever in my opinion. And write-up alongside this song is Jasmine Sullivan forever don't last live in Birmingham. It's off the charts soldier

[@amandac8937]

Power house voice for sure! First time hearing her myself.

[@nicktomato7]

ppl in the comments got it already but, she’s the real deal. She has a lot of amazing stuff, and i really recommend checking out ‘evergreen’ (the apple music cut). she wrote my mind after a breakup, still pretty raw. she’s just a kid here; 21 years old. it’s hard to see her in such an emotional place here, and unfortunately her story does get a lot harder. some people said in the comments but to clear the timeline, she lost her mom in the weeks after this performance to suicide. It’s something she talks about openly and often, and a lot of her music is about her mom. Evergreen is the first original song she recorded after my mind, and it’s directly addressed to mom it’s also gorgeous and touching and a bop, so i really recommend that one next. You can’t miss with her though so whatever’s next it’ll be good

[@kracine9582]

It's YEBBA...not YABBA. She is from Memphis, Arkansas. She has a Tiny desk concert which is 4 live cuts from her first album (Dawn) which will blow you away. Also, her live version of Boomerang is fantastic. You've only just begun, keep going, you won't regret it.

[@avionterria7855]

Yeah-ba 😂

[@cheyennepeterson6499]

This always makes me cry because knowing the meaning of her songs being cheated on and then losing your momma after the fact heartbreaking she is a strong woman for sure I was in a abusive relationship 7yrs ago he was physically, sexually, and emotionally and 6yrs ago I was in a toxic relationship we're he used mean words virbally abusive and both of them cheated difference is the first one hit me and SA me the other just used ugly hurtful words but both cheated first one was with my ex family friend and the other guy cheated with a friend of his he grew up with he was long distance the first guy was face to face the first guy is still in jail the other is not but he got cheated on too and tried getting me back but it was to late I had met my fiancee boyfriend at the time took him 1yr to realize he wanted me not hi best friend who cheated but I got the help I needed and in the process found my person and both are pissed about the karma

[@Kiomarys]

If I remember correctly, she wrote this a week before her mom committed suicide, she also lost the love of her life but I don't know much about that. Either way, her emotions are out and raw...

[@ABtheKreator]

Wow 😥😥😥

[@najaberthelsen]

What..?? Where is this Steven...?

[@Kiomarys]

@@najaberthelsen I don't know much about who her love was, I just know that when this was recorded she was mourning her mother and her love.

[@akita21154]

Like you, I've never heard of Yabba. But that's going to be remedied after her performance. Mix the raw emotions with the natural gravelly sound =Ms. Yabba. Love the song, it was perfect for her. Need to know more about this lady, the more,the merrier Thanks for sharing Ms. Yabba,it was a pleasure.

[@ABtheKreator]

Yes this is amazing 🤩

[@avionterria7855]

Abbey Smith from West Memphis, Arkansas. She's PK. She's the truth! Won a Grammy with PJ Morton. Enjoy!

[@olivialivelovelaugh412]

She wrote this, if his name is Steven it should be dumbAss Steven! She left it on the table! Here take that! 1 ❤ word phenomenal

[@alanwhetstone3922]

She makes me feel like I cheated on her. Damn!

[@najaberthelsen]

The voice control she has, even through the emotions... You should watch her 'Evergreen'. She mentioned that she had a hard time entering a church after her mother's suicide.. And this was a big step to perform in a church

[@crystalbrewer2260]

Awesome

[@mirtieraczo5842]

Dude! Yebba and Clark Beckham doing Gravity by John Mayer. Evergreen October Sky Tiny Desk concert The live version of Boomerang Brittney Spears's Lucky with Third Story How Deep is Your Love with PJ Morton How Much Can a Heart Take with Lucky Daye Her live versions tend to be better than the recorded versions. She's amazing. I don't know why she's not a major star already.

[@teriburton848]

What the Yabba Dabba Doo!!! You are hilarious!

[@ABtheKreator]

Lmao it’s the only thing I could think of lol

[@madoodah]

Her mom killed herself right before this performance so she uses this song (the chorus) to help people dealing with suicide. But that’s why the emotion is so strong.

[@HeartHandmade]

Apparently Abbey lost her mother not too long before this performance was recorded. You’ve brought a lot of joy to my days with your reactions! Thank you! I’m probably mentioning this in the wrong song but I’d love you to react to 2Cello’s - Back in Black I can’t wait to see your reaction to that 😝

[@squincegoddess]

It was a week after this performance.

[@rachelw2601]

Definitely do Clark beckham and Yebba - gravity

[@juliahumphries5368]

I heard her duet w Ed Sheeran, made me a lifelong fan. Her voice in an instrument.

[@airalynsaudade483]

You gotta react to Evergreen then Gravity and October sky. Please

[@donnabost4445]

Yebba is Abbey(her given name) spelled backwards, and this song is about her mother if i remember right....she committed suicide,

[@creinicke1000]

I'm not sure.. I think I heard that her mom committed suicide a week or 2 after this?? That she couldn't sing song again because it did make her think about her mom.. but I'm just repeating crap I've heard.. and I feel it's none of my business.. but whatever she digs into emotionally in this and all her songs I hope it's cathartic and helps her.

[@jonathongeorge3093]

"Evergreen" & "October Sky" are about her mother... she had committed suicide a week after this performance.

[@Dr.jjWinn]

She recently lost her mother to suicide before this performance. Look up the song Evergreen it's about her mom. Also the song October Sky is also about her mom

[@peterdellos8824]

TINY DESK CONCERT. Get ready !
