Ninet: Tiny Desk Concert

Bob Boilen | March 3, 2017 - Ninet rocked the Tiny Desk in ways rarely seen.
As I watched one of the most famous entertainers in Israel today here at NPR, I flashed back to a 1976 concert I saw by a not-yet-famous Joan Jett. Ninet has that same fierce and honest conviction, is walking that same path that Jett did and poised to find notoriety in this country, which she recently began to call home.
Ninet won me over during a small concert at last year's SXSW; it was early in the day, but she was fully on fire and intense. She and her potent band have put out five albums and their most recent, Paper Parachute, is the home of the songs she brought to us. It's filled with a her husky-toned voice and guitar lines straight out of stateside '70s rock, with a Middle Eastern lean. It's a winning sound, performed by an unrestrained talent.
Paper Parachute is available now:
iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/album/pap...

Easily one of the most intense tiny desk concerts, probably my favorite. Thank you guys for introducing us to new music.

Check her work with Steven Wilson (the song "Routine" is great). She's an amazing singer !

[@louds0ft593]

that's her?! i always wondered who sang the female part! so thanks, kinda XD

[@enchant-rw2qt]

Check her work with Steven Wilson: "Pariah"

[@ofenblase3713]

Pariah is for me the best song 2017. Thanks for Steven and Ninet.

[@StephaneFaucher]

I had the chance to see her live with SW in Montreal singing Routine. Pure #eargasm :-p

Ninet is one of those rare true underrated artists in this time who are the epitome of absolute greatness in art. Ninet is not music, she IS music, nay, NINET IS ART.

[@karlach-ascended]

Omg! Thank you so much for inviting her! Ninet, you're an amazing musician

[@FatManLaughing]

Her guitarist and spouse is a magnificent musician by himself! Look his band up - The Collective.

[@ignoredonthenet]

Acollective

[@FatManLaughing]

True! Hasn't listened to them seriously ever since I've been to their concert a couple of years ago, so I remembered incorrectly. Listen to them! It's worth noting that in hebrew punctuation "hacollective" means in english "the collective", it's a kind of a word twist, playing between the meanings of "the collecive" and "not-a-collective". Hence the mistake.

[@ignoredonthenet]

That's cool! Thanks for the info. The Collective is also the name of some boy band, lol.

[@AL-wo2iz]

Great voice lady!!! like it! x

[@apurvaojha5987]

[@joelsilver404]

I got to see her during a conference at UCLA about Israel. She is an amazing performer and I adore her collaborations with Steven Wilson. I wish she was featured on every cut. Wilson's talents as a writer and producer in combination with Ninyet's performance chops are an unbeatable combination.

[@sgravon3]

This live/acoustic version is 1000 times better then the album one.

[@frankgh1]

There is the album version and a live version of Superstar from a few years ago. This one tops them all! I can't wait for the new Steven Wilson album, the tine clip of Pariah is incredible.

I do get ignored while smiling faces are easy to love and her smiling face with the screams are fine with me and I know my decisions in music. Just have mercy on me lady, not girl, but women who know what they are doing, and continue to do it like a child, and just walk like there is nothing behind you that is worth remembering.
