Seen Little Dragon's tiny desk?

[@jamesmonkmusic]

If you're new to Arlo Parks, check out her released music - the production is so good, it's a very different vibe! Great to hear it all stripped back, the way it was written. Thanks tiny desk!

[@ahahadedz]

She’s 19?? What a talented girl. I love her voice so much. I hope you grow into a very great woman.

I like her playing and at the same time I really enjoy her smooth/lovely tone with the melody. When I'm listening to her singing, I feel like I'm reading her diary

[@Chris-no5yi]

she’s singing and speaking candidly from her diary and we’re all willing listeners...beautiful analogy

[@jiminjimin]

@@Chris-no5yi Yeah exactly

[@neri4949]

Give Arlo a grammy please! This is quality songwritting

[@agustinacampos1740]

I thought the same! 💜

[@JheriCurlJankins]

I'm 51 years old. My 17 year old niece and I have highly eclectic music tastes. She asked me to check out this Tiny Desk to see if this is an artist I might be interested in. I clicked on the video, saw the MF DOOM poster and instantly decided I like her already! 😍

[@klove6149]

Her voice is like an angel😍

[@sschica448]

Her voice brings instant relaxation.

[@sofiaportilla]

I started crying as soon as she started to sing. This is so healing. Discovering her has been a beautiful experience.

[@chrismehmet3463]

Feel like you could hear her accent more in these live versions. Sounded so good!

[@lujorom9172]

I mean, you can always hear her accent lol

Arlo Parks may just be the most beautiful Soul who has ever existed. What Grace. What Honesty. What Tenacity. Good, good medicine.

My girl Arlo is everywhere and we love to see it

[@whydoesitmatter6977]

Arlo. Simply AMAZING!!!! My Lockdown voice. Black dog.....so honest and true. I cried.

[@Chris-no5yi]

top 10 one of the most intentional singers i’ve heard

[@MariaCeciliaDeOlivera]

All your songs are pure poetry, talking right to the heart and making my soul cry.

[@jonathanjayes]

Arlo is so amazing, wow!

[@stonedphilosopherza4915]

She had me at ‘ you do your eyes like Robert Smith’- painted such a great image. Black dog was first song I heard but she is now listened to daily- can’t wait for her long career and the many great songs that will come- music for the soul

[@DLNTNKSOUNDS]

Still remember when I heard Cola for the first time. So good and to think she was 17 when it was released - I knew she'd be an unmissable talent

[@sykoskier18]

Arlo is one of my favorite artists for the last couple years. I remember Cola when it dropped her voice is so haunting and gorgeous!!! I love her tones and intonation. Chills through my spine.

[@lujorom9172]

Yeah Cola really got me hooked on her music. To be honest, I don’t think she’s released a song as good as Cola ever since, but still, she’s amazing.

[@hammstah9578]

I just heard her on a new noise at 9 broadcast oh, I think. Her song green eyes. Oh my gosh. What a talent. I learned she's 20 years old and it's been performing since she's 17, just won the BBC Introducing award for top artists.

[@adrienlac]

Thank you tiny desk for this. What a gorgeous human being

[@rubywine9487]
