[@PamMahlangu45]

Nobody talking about the brother with flute 🤯. That’s mad talent

[@Getyasacright]

We love Albert 🫶🏽

[@anandabliss9997]

He’s cute too!

[@demarbowe]

My boy with the flute is killing it!!!!! Much love to the whole group too!!!! They’re a vibe for real!!!!!☝🏽❤️

[@calwoodart6927]

Oh, I notice him. I do love his legs and talent, of course. 😁

[@angiearnold8911]

Correct 🦋💜

[@teejaytanya]

🔥🔥🔥🎶 “This boy be in my DMs said I’m preeety” 🎶 The way every song should start from here on now! 🔥🔥🔥

[@xoxoecstacy6346]

No 😭 that will take from this song. Like no one would even want to hear same sound again

[@Hi-nz8xu]

And the way it transitions into nice thingssssssss omgggggggg

[@teejaytanya]

@@Hi-nz8xu FACTS!!! I genuinely thought it was one song! 😍

[@dorianminor3129]

I just love the whole vibe

[@6lacksappho456]

🙄. Absolutely tone-deaf.

[@yasminedesilva7110]

My man’s flute solo was 🔥🔥

[@yasminedesilva7110]

He was really killing it in the first song

[@sanjohnson9865]

His name is Albert. Go to their NPR he is fye

[@drearoses1306]

he tore it up..when the leg went up i knew he was going all the way in..lol and he emphatically delivered

[@MISSCP2012]

😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️

[@MISSCP2012]

​@@yasminedesilva7110yessssss!! I was like WHOA 🙌🏽👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@rasway6700]

Lord. The poetic flow, the sultry yet boisterous tone of her voice, the whimsical flutters of the flute, the groove of the band….. they will sway me right into a blissful sleep. Just love her, her creativity and style. An old friend shared her tiny desk years ago, and she is still going strong ❤

[@melissablueswomanhensley634]

I found this clip on Instagram,immediately came to KZbin lol first video I watched was the NPR tiny desk concert started with head bopping turning to goose bumps by the last song I was in tears....just phenomenal!!!!! New fan!

[@MissNtshinka]

Where's the other lady though?

[@rasway6700]

@@MissNtshinka I was wondering the same thing sis….🤷🏾‍♀️

[@christophermitchum6829]

Yeah, boyeee🤟👌 Gurl that... and some stuff 😎💯💥. And the band is kicking!!! 🤟🤟🎶🎶🔥

[@monetknight1424]

i love this.

[@luvntoez8318]

She has a commanding voice. So much texture. Music is simply poetry with instruments. A beautiful ebony queen.

[@jasmasavage4140]

Absolutely. ❤❤❤

[@shaunaw1277]

The amount of people just now finding out about Tank based on that dm clip is baffling but I’m glad she is getting more exposure!!! Severely underrated !

[@doll2889]

I'm so glad I found her!

[@ttjones1217]

Like a lot of people, I came here due to the DM clip. Love the sound. Unfortunately, Neo-soul artists like her aren’t much in the mainstream anymore like that. If they don’t sing/sound like Sza, they don’t get attention.

[@coreygraham2172]

Agree....that what makes music the sound track of your life. You can find a song and vibe with it and just discover something new to you.

[@taneshalashai]

Absolutely right I’m glad I came across her she is beautiful and amazingly talented.

[@MooneyStrings02]

I found her through tiny desk!!! people need to catch up I love her so much ❤

[@moriahlitaker4532]

“TSA KEEPS TAKING MY SHIT“ everybody sing it I felt that in my spirit😂❤

[@TASHAS_CROWN]

For real!!!

[@nicolesimon2045]

This hit my soul, iykyk

[@Kneeeyo]

That guy laughing right after she says "this boy be in my DMs said I'm pretty...I've been through that shit" got me DYING! 🤣

[@togoboy23]

I been KNEW that shit

[@michaeldriskell7095]

I just LOVE the way Albert watches her in awe & amazement THEN smoothly joins in with an array of different instruments 2 compliment her artistry. The whole band is just phenomenal!

[@adayahbatyah9865]

Absolutely!

[@bluscorpion]

Yes!

[@hopetrnr0]

Which one Albert

[@debrahardy8487]

​@@hopetrnr0 the White boy

[@sandralynne9574]

It’s beautiful to watch that magic they have

[@VitoHGrind]

Can we talk about the band for a second?! Joe is KILLING it on the keys! He's back there giving a full Snarky Puppy set. Henry and Joshua adding bounce and life for days on the moog and the set. And of course, Albert is putting on a master class on with the woodwinds. Sheesh too much talent!

[@WhatWouldDannyDo]

Her music is so unique. It's the theatrical aspect of it that I enjoy the most. She literally sings and talks with a live band and it sounds so good. This is entertainment for sure. It tickles me because its what I do all the time. I randomly sing out entire sentences and or make noises lol just because my personality is bubbly and fun. The band is so raw. Her music is a vibe.

[@jeaninec5305]

I'm the same way😂 You sound like you're a fun person to be around. Keep being happy ❤

[@ms.kalico4489]

Sounds like butterflies... love it!

[@tashamp3]

Oooo that’s so accurate ❤❤

[@OfficialImaniJade4549]

You’re so accurate! Just what I needed this Sunday. 🦋🤎

[@aaliyaheman]

Her voice 🤤🤩 giving my Jill Scott vibes ❤❤

[@TheLiline514]

Yup

[@khiofficial2900]

4:13 oh wooowww her vocal tone in contrast to the flute is probably the most ethereal thing I’ve ever heard 😮‍💨😳

[@carmenp30]

Tank is a treasure. The Bangas are phenomenal musicians. The combination is MAGIC💕

[@IllestWill9Y]

This is warm tea and honey on a fall morning 🔥

[@LovelyAngel840]

Puts me in the mind of early Jill Scott and the Roots and/or Jaguar Wright and the Roots PHILLY BORN AND RAISED... Tank and The Bangas are a WHOLE VIBE!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@RoyeltyMindset]

I thought the same as I was listening

[@reganbradley3207]

Albert cuttin up on that flute!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@michellinemarlin1866]

Everybody is lit, but the flute Just mesmerised me . The lung capacity damnn

[@morganj8978]

somebody needs to get her to score a movie🔥

[@Money_Magnet_Googie22]

TANK!!!! Her voice is so beautiful!

[@richnique4112]

Tsa keeps taking my shit...this randomness makes my day. I'm upset I just learned about them.

[@Angela-pi6zc]

My boarding a flight set, my floating in the pool set, my sitting by the fire set, my starting a road trip set, my welcoming friends set, etc...🥰

[@mablebwalya6840]

As a Poetry Addict infact a Poet I Say this Is Really Pretty

[@Queenxmarquise]

This is artistry in it’s true form my gawd 😱😱😱😱

[@teddydavis2339]

They are so underrated. I'm waiting for them to blow up.

[@leslieseale9761]

Love this. The singer radiates this lovely light warm energy. The way they all jive together is just beautiful. The most amazing flute I’ve ever heard too!

[@jimessepowell7689]

This is like the new age black symphony with vocals and I love it ❤

[@drearoses1306]

[@bluscorpion]

[@brittanyboseman5535]

Really like one of the most relatable songs I have ever heard in my entire life I got on a plane for the first time two years ago and I was by myself and when I got to that damn TSA line they made me throw everything I just bought for my trip in the trash 🤦🏾‍♀️
