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

[@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

[@ZippyLeroux]

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

[@john-adriancoker2789]

0:27 She looked at you and said, 😏😌 I know you heard me slay that note, Serenading you like sucka

[@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

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

[@jonsarpong4082]

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!

[@mamohaukekana5284]

She is magical

Jazmine Sullivan too the tone

[@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!

'Think About You' is my jam because I grew up listening to reggae, dub, and ska. I hope Tiana makes a reggae EP or album because I'd buy it ALL! Lol! ;)

[@ninjavibez4696]

What ! What ? I really hope she does because WHAT! Haha all day everyday on the stereo 😂

WHEW! Her delivery on think about you was straight out of Jazmine Sullivan's book. Loved it!

[@ajbreeden948]

Agree! 🔥

[@mdoughty]

a young stevie wonder🤩 she's going to put the jazz back in R&B. her 1st EP is timeless magic. dearest dystopia is just one of those songs. tiana i hope you survive the industry & get to harness your full creative power. you are LEGEND material! and you can't hide from your nerd status, your name betrays you ^.^
