FIRST TIME HEARING | YEBBA - My Mind | Sofar NYC | REACTION

[@mzicyss2008]

She is literally crying without dropping a single tear!

[@kevinparker5508]

"I sure won't stay but I be damned if I ever leave." Is probably the greatest line..... EVER.

[@amberparker9883]

Most definitely 🖤❤

[@cloreindaturner4736]

And she states in an interview that what she means is she’ll leave physically but not emotionally..

[@kay-collins]

I agree

[@paulaallen6649]

This song cuts my guts everytime yebba ❤❤❤

[@kamtrah]

LOVE that you probably introduced Yebba to a whole new audience. She is NO JOKE! BEAST vocals and BEAST heart!

[@jilllundyakasuperj2126]

Your reaction was authentically sensitive, refreshing, and sweet. It is awesome when I can witness men let their guard down and allow themselves to FEEL!!! It's not always popular but you touched me today! Thank you...!

[@Satori_My_G]

Your welcome 🙏💪❤️

[@Itsmiss444]

YEBBA is a vocal beast for sure.

[@NeliosRan]

The week after this song Abbey's mom committed suicide. As such, this song has never been released for profit and any money made goes to suicide prevention. You can hear the pain of what she is going through, whether its the loss of a lover or just what is happening with her mom. Such a great talent and I wait for her album.

[@NeliosRan]

Also she goes by Yebba because that was the nickname her mother had always used with her.

[@terriertz6837]

Any man who cheats on his wife or girlfriend should be forced to listen to this song on repeat.

[@arianamoxieloving919]

For eternity : )

[@yungbratthekilla3864]

Nah that wouldn’t be torture coz she sounds beautiful 😍 I wouldn’t mind listening to this for eternity

[@SomeOneSeen]

Ok! 👍🏼 But include the cheating women as well!!!

[@epistrophicality]

You say this, but if you haven't been on that side, it's remarkably easy to take that stance. Doesn't excuse it, or justify or anything--and for some, they can be completely heartless and emotionally detached, but for the many more that made a poor, poor decision, it's a hurt you don't understand either. It's hurts deep both ways. Words can't explain. Do you think it's even easier knowing you lost something you'll never have back, even if they stay, for just something temporary? Words can't explain that.

I’ve been watching reactions to this song the last few years and I still get goosebumps when I listen to this song! I ain’t seen anything of this quality and emotion in my lifetime! I literally wait to see everyone react the same way in exactly the same parts of the song!

One of the most powerful songs I’ve ever heard sung by one of the most powerful voices I’ve ever heard.

[@k_roc200-32]

My first time hearing this song, very powerful and the pain is evident in her voice

[@kathynoriega8602]

I love her voice. She had me in tears!

[@elliefowkes7584]

Such a raw song, raw review, raw emotions 🤍

[@WhiskeyOnTheRox]

Her voice is so soothing. She gets me thru the work week on a regular

[@tolicelawrence461]

[@leavondamichelle1926]

Love the reaction, video! She got you in your feelings. 😅 💜✊🏽 Her vocal skills are amazing🔥🔥. No matter how many times I hear this song... it’s just lit. ✌🏽

[@sofiamec8767]

FML & I'm crying ...hits way too close to home, I felt each and every word 😢💔

[@mercedesdaye2931]

She has a phenomenal voice. Larry of Les Twins danced to this song and it was fire 🔥

[@serenaponce3261]

Her mother died by suicide about a week after Yebba sang her first original song, causing "My Mind" to take on new meaning representing mental health. She says her artist name was chosen to honor her mother, who she said "always called her by the nickname" (her name Abbey written backwards) as a child.

[@aggz2641]

You’re welcome. She’s arghhh this song man, and just her as an artist. She’s just there’s no words. Thank you for reacting to this 😁

[@Sunnyshininglight]

She has a great tiny desk performance out now on KZbin

[@kay-collins]

“No way no way she cant take you away from me...” this is where my tears just start falling!!

[@shandellehull7380]

Oh, and her 'Smoke' is fire, too!

[@emmathepaperquiller4263]

Thanks for reacting to her video, you’re genuine

[@alexisweaver2211]

Please continue to react to more Yebba/Abbey Smith. “Gravity” w/ Clark Beckham, “Evergreen”, “Smoke” w/ Luke Levenson. She has one of the best voices and is SO underrated. Everything out of her mouth is 🔥🔥🔥

[@bgodwn68]

Agreed ⬆️, also, her collab w/Thirdstory! Their cover of Britney Spears’ “Lucky” is sooooo good 🙌🏻

[@juwanjames8218]

Her interlude on CLB is amazing

[@bkbk9825]

my favorite part of watching Yebba reaction videos (besides the amazing Yebba) is the journey of the reviewer witnessing the revelation of YEBBA!

[@sixfootbeauty]

One of the few (and I mean FEW) voices of today that I will listen to, period!!

[@ladyredd61]

Love Yebba, One of the best story tellers ever!❤️❤️

[@Ronnv_v]

So glad you decided to use the original 😪

[@peterdellos8824]

Yebba!!!! (Abbey) Find and listen to everything from her!

[@kiamackenzee]

She go crazy every timeee

[@dixiereinhardt3949]

Please listen to her song "Evergreen" which she wrote about her mother, after she committed suicide. She was raised in the church in Arkansas on the Mississippi border with Memphis. She couldn't go back into the church after her mother's death. This recording of Evergreen was done with a church choir and back up singers. She's amazing!
