She's got a little Jazmine Sullivan, H.E.R., Lauryn Hill, & scatting like Ledisi! Love it! Thanks to my girl Q for sharing her w me.

[@rhysdennis4834]

Lets not forget a glimmer of Miss Lalah Hathaway!

[@Lydia_Marie1]

Yesss I hear Lalah Hathaway especially in 'exclusively'

[@Honest000w]

Yeah... Ledisi is a BEAST

[@sheriseparker5237]

Was literally thinking the same, she gives me Jazmine Sullivan-ish vibes

When she looked into the camera I spontaneously combusted into technicolor fruit flavor. She looked right at me you guys! I'm in love!

[@lowellcalavera6045]

Man, I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure she was looking at me....😄

[@michaela2929]

I felt the same thing when she started scatting! 🥰😍

[@richardcranium4335]

Did you look over your shoulder to see if anyone was behind you, see no one there, and widen your smile because it is indeed you Tiana was focusing on to charm the night away? That's what happened to me. ;-)

[@ashleysolantro4611]

Tbh she was looking at me at that point xo

[@Bluebird0323]

Same space brought me here. Collide was the vibe when the soundtrack was released. One of the best. We need more of Tiana. She’s definitely a major chord

[@douglasarnoldda33]

Me too I love same space

[@hopesdaughter5947]

Her songs reminded me of the beautiful feelings you experience when wanting someone and falling in love.

I think that the second song 'Exclusively' is the best performance I've ever heard on Tiny Desk. How are Tiny Desk performances always better than album tracks? Incredible!

She’s definitely her favorite singer out of the UK she deserves more attention. He voice is naturally smooth and not forced.

[@DanShureMusic]

14:26 - most key changes up a 1/2 step in pop/r&b sound like cliche musical soundtrack. That was one of the slickest most soulful key changes I've ever heard!
