Fousheé: Tiny Desk Concert

[@nprmusic]

How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.

[@kturn65]

It's not the Rap it's the labels who only allow those types of raps on the waves!!

[@TiltheEndoftheDay]

yup! @@kturn65

[@DmanUNT2014]

Foushee absolutely deserves a tiny desk. I'm so glad to see she received this opportunity!

[@ExtremelyHandsomeOpulentKing]

The Dunk Man himself has good taste I see

[@2ndhokage970]

U kno ball 🙏🏾

[@ischaheijnen5946]

YESSS

[@tommywommy1679]

Maybe if she could sing

[@keirra6327]

Its insane she can hit those notes and do a metal scream. Amazing!

[@mastathrash5609]

And the highs at the end, outstanding!

[@tosha2mer121]

She sing sing.

[@joshlewis5065]

Screaming like that doesn't use your vocal chords. It uses the area of your throat just above it

[@sommelierofstench]

it is not that uncommon to be fair. but i appreciate that she throws the harsh vocals in there. her bag of vocal range is pretty deep

[@JerimiahGentry]

yeah and not having to at least clear her throat or adjust... the agility is impressive

[@zacharymartin5110]

she is an ARTIST... ITS SO AUTHENTIC. FOLK SOUL RNB AND METAL .. HER MIND IS AMAZING. SHE IS A RARE FLOWER. PROTECT HER AT ALL COSTS.. HER CREATIVITY IS SO CHAOTIC AND BEAUTIFUL. 😍

[@willwowxdrice642]

A real pop star … she has it all

[@NickiParkerr]

Yes very unique

[@oxiary]

Fousheé goes from soft to HARDCORE real quick !!! most versatile rn

[@RaviTito]

her album is called softCORE haha

[@Ventas3337]

i got scared🤣🤣🤣 note: am at the office

[@abianapatton-toure8545]

Facts. Like the first song was moody. The second song was moodier. And then there was just a floooww of moodiness from there on. Omg.

[@bongo2011]

Meg Myers have been doing it for a while. But she's more indie.

[@Послушано]

Setlist: 0:00 - spend the money 5:28 - i'm fine 7:49 - single af 12:16 - candy grapes

[@shanicebajin4067]

I saw her on Steve Lacy's tour and her voice is insaneee live 😍

[@Sandybowls_9001]

Was not expecting that scream from that pretty lady, that freaking rocked

[@murphyhammer5697]

10/10 I did a double take during "I'm Fine"

[@hectoribarra3715]

I KNOW YALL PLAYIN. I never got so happy for a tiny desk as much as this one. SHE my girl, see you at reset series foushee 🫶🏻

[@timeclock5771]

MAN! why u didn't tell me about this girl? LOL

[@lonneke9158]

Her song single af got me through difficult times and empowered me so much. So happy to see it live at the Tiny Desk now! ❤

[@everydayLMK]

Fousheè is genuinely one of the most interesting artists I have heard debut in the past two decades. She absolutely crushed her features on Hypnos and Gemini Rights and I was not disappointed on softCORE! One of those voices that can convey such a wide range of emotions with ease! Thank you for posting this! Love ya much Fousheè

[@madil5974]

Her personality really shows through the songs . I never knew her until I watched this and I feel so blessed to find this music today 💗

[@mason_yt444]

I love Foushee. You guys should get Liv.e on here next. Her new album is incredible

[@clarence.anderson]

Liv.e 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@shainas7296]

That would be so doppppeee

[@camiloalfonso9994]

I agree, she sould totatlly be here!

[@jhaokip6649]

yes

[@jamaicareddick1801]

‼️‼️‼️ bump

[@DurbsBT]

That drummer is wicked - solid, tasteful and restrained. Rest of the band is solid too, but yeah, props to Tobias

[@oxiary]

bro love how h'es jsut reading the posters while crushing it at one point so firee !!

[@yardmanAD]

I can't believe she did the brief metal part from that I was really wondering how that would play live - IDK if people realize how difficult it is to transition your voice back and forth like that, then she does the super falsetto single AF next. The band was great obs but the vocals on this is just so next level

[@608trayce]

What an incredible and creative artist! Wow. That lil metal bust down on "i'm fine" ... so sick

[@brandisocial]

The way this baby caught me off guard LOL loved this whole Tiny Desk!

[@sherronnemcintosh4180]

With a straight face at that

[@Nanii0805]

Such a unique voice I love it ❤️❤️

[@CubensisEnjoyer]

I could listen to Fousheé all day. I got into her own discography because she kept appearing on other artist's songs and every time her feature made the song like 10x better. Such a talented person for real. 🖤

[@betoski]

yes!!

[@maegnificant]

That drummer is on fire

[@MakeLikeAFridge]

Keep coming back to this performance over the last 2 months.. Hadn't heard of you before this post, so I'm thankful to NPR for hosting you! All 4 of you are 100% on point with your parts, and that's often unusual for a live performance. Special shout out to the precision of the drummer, Tobias Kelly. That attention to detail is incredible-it does not go unnoticed. You should all be proud of what you do! Look forward to seeing more

[@sillusjullie]

i introduced your music to my crush & ever since then ive been the coolest kid in her life. that's enough, you're special ❤️❤️

[@twinkie112351]

Those whistle tones gave me chillsssss

[@coolreem]

She's dope. This is my first time hearing her and I instantly fell in love.

[@way6862]

agile runs, beautiful head voice, metal scream, chill cadence- what can’t she do?

[@thelyricshub5292]

Fousheeé's vocals are absolutely insane!! This up for my favourite tiny desk performances sheesh 🔥🔥

[@miketodd185]

WoW… This was Gr8 !!! Her tone is amazing and you can tell the band are on the same page… Excellently executed… The sounds of her voice and the groove of the band, I didn’t want them to stop… 👊🏼💯💙

[@timekademery]

Im FINNEEE!!❤

[@Tiera911]

She commanded every ounce of my attention from this video. I'd never heard of her or heard her music before today and now I am a huge fan.

[@tipsyonteaaa]

Yessssss please give Fousheé her flowers! 🌻🌻🌻

[@crtnycrtny]

I love softCORE ! It’s beautiful and lively! I can’t wait to get more Fousheé music in future 🔥✨🌹

[@marcbiz11]

[@isaiahdorm]

I saw her on tour with Steve Lacy last year and she's amazing live. Can't wait to see her again at Cochella too!

[@AlmightyDoni]

literally been replaying the spend that money part on repeat her voice is so beautiful it has so much feeling.

[@eyesontheprize3233]

incredible! excited to hear where her sound goes. 'Sunshine' is amazing and where I discovered her, this session also very cool treat displaying her raw talent in acoustic setting - hits way harder for me than the recorded versions tbh

[@Tyluhthamenace]

I’m soo glad too see Fousheé get a tiny desk, I love her sound and been a fan for a while!

[@Iamchrisshorts]

She is really entertaining in her own way … need more eyes 👀 on her for sure 💙💙💙💙

[@TamCas1]

I'm blown away coz she exists 😢 What an amazing human ... Fousheé you melt my soul.., Single as fuhahahahahahahaha stripped.

[@mandi4794]

Wow. Just found her through this. I'm a big fan!

[@SahirTheMagician]

Is it just me or the lyrics hit really close to the heart 😭

[@ondre2100]

Her voice is insane live! The notes she can hit and the way she can bring the rage is so badass! Absolutely love her

[@kathyhollenbach7413]

I really enjoyed this! I don't think I have heard any of her music before now. It's fresh and fun! Loved the screams in "I'm fine"

[@johncontractors1385]

Wow…. So refreshing….and insanely genius…..she’s the truth.

[@Kenny-lz3gh]

She did that

[@BreakbeatD17]

Ayeee it’s soo dope to see Foushee perform at tiny desk!!😁 I saw her on Vince Staples tiny desk as a feature and she had such a smooth voice and I had to follow her. I felt she was gonna hit it off soon especially after collaborating with Steve Lacy last year! I dig her music style with the hard and soft core tone!! Much love to Foushee and tiny desk😁🤙🏻🙌🏼🔥

[@HerEvilTwin]

Been a fan since her early self produced rap stuff. Happy to see her at TD. Amazing performance!

[@lcx2534]

I still remember her cameo in Vince Staples Tiny Desk Concert That's when i started to fall in love with her songs and havent stopped ever since

[@talented_introvert]

This just made my morning! I love her so much❤

[@ton1277]

Prolly the 20th time is listened to this ….its so good! 🥹

[@lonersdreamworld]

when those whistle notes at 15:52 come in, it's like a breath of fresh air. but then at 16:03, i'm just being breezed at this point.

[@daunmarsh3727]

Simply blown away at her vocal range and stylistic electivity . Foushee is a generational talent and a national treasure!

[@jaquanliljon]

Breath control is insane! ❤❤

[@itstonycia]

Wow she’s so talented. I love her tone too

[@Itsjustnia_]

Saw her perform a few years ago in leimert park at a cafe, and was mesmerized then. So glad to see her grow and flourish the way she has!

[@Swazi-s1y]

Foushee is beautiful and talented😭❤‍🩹🙌👏

[@CarlosOsuna96]

I love her 😂😂😂😂 what a great tiny desk, she hits those notes effortlessly

[@anariiilove]

They are such a tight unit. I love performances like this!

[@justinescobar3760]

First time I heard foushee was on “ candy grapes” wow, a artist that deserves everything coming her way

[@iffiam8744]

Candy grapes has been one of my favorite song for two years now and when i saw steve lacy at Paris y was PRAYING for them to sing it. They didn't lol but im so glad she chose that song to sing here, i am so so so happy. Also stream SOFTcore!! such an amazing album

[@Vivi.Machine]

[@timekademery]

Beautiful voice!❤

[@supercutiee]

I’ve never heard of her, but I’ll look her up!❤

[@willarroz6703]

Her album Time Machine is a modern classic !!

[@lakeside3644]

How so you go from Metallica to Minnie Riperton and do it so effortlessly? Amazed

[@flyingcheff]

This whole performance is refreshingly unique. Love it! ❤️

[@AdmiralBailey-v6i]

If it wasn’t for Jamaica walk by I wouldn’t know that there was a artist named fouchee I went and looked her up on KZbin and I listened to her music and guess what I love all of her music and then she is from My born country Jamaican RESPECT BABY, YEH MON❤

[@danigraphic1]

You all are freaking BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE. Discovered you today and already love you

[@BrassAgainst]

amazing!

[@indiawilliams918]

Yess I love her now more people can hear your art

[@andrewzenn1719]

Been a while since I heard a band that I am interested in, almost assumed too much when I saw the thumbnail, but I thought I would listen a minute. Sold. The drummer is tight keeping those beats at those low levels and then bringing it, guitar and bass are very tasty. Singer is all over the edges. Awesome.

[@JamaicanSuccess]

Lovely Fou Fou!! 🎉❤

[@gabiineva]

wow. what a voice. in love with her

[@soujvnunes]

Beautiful!

[@kevindhir]

foushee is amazing wow

[@mediumslime]

this is so exciting! love seeing this after getting in a good listen of softCORE ~

[@arvins.7064]

The lil smile after the scream is cute asl😂

[@msibi]

Still love her singing in 'Take Me Home'

[@VladaVesnina]

I don't understand why Foushee hasn't become a world superstar yet

[@JorDanTan93]

Thank you for having Foushee on Tiny Desk!🎉

[@imanimani2x]

I love Fousheé 😩 her sound is hers and hers only. I got the chance to see her open for Steve Lacy last year and was not disappointed! I was hoping she’d do Make It Known though 😢 amazing song choices though ❤
