There is no studio version to this song. This was the first and last time she performed this song. She said she will not sing it again because it was so sacred to her after her mother passed. Love her! ❤

[@Nikki-jj5nr]

It’s on Spotify

[@TheNeighborNicky]

The Spotify track is this recording.

[@richardjones-ee3qs]

Don’t lie

[@MsMere78]

Every note, every rasp, every tone, every nuance was carefully chosen. She has 100% control of her incredible instrument. She’s amazing.

[@vanessam3195]

I cry every single time I see this performance. Absolutely raw & vulnerable! It always blows me away how calm the audience seems. I'd be losing MY Mind!

[@coaldust01]

No, you'd be losing your mi Ah Ah Ah 🇬🇧.

[@lynnlynn7092]

Let me tell you something about Yebba. You find a video of hers not knowing who she is at all, and by the end of that same day you’ve seen everything Yebba has to offer on the internet. She’s incredible.

[@lilszard]

Truth! 😀

[@MISSYGful]

Ain't that the truth!

[@46foryounger]

This woman is incredible she popped up in my KZbin feed and I was like who the hell is this. I haven’t stopped listening since.

[@blushadow1726]

I watched this when it had just 24 views, it has 27million now. One of the greatest ever

[@jonathongeorge3093]

Another incredible experience can be enjoyed in her duet cover of "Gravity" with Clark Beckham... they absolutely murder it! Her song "Evergreen" is really good, too.

[@creinicke1000]

Love both "Gravity"! And "Evergreen"... both should be watched.

[@mae3337]

YESSSSSS ✋

[@joshuasmall6267]

Yes those 2 killed it

[@courtneyhenley681]

I TOTALLY AGREE!

[@erincoughlin4187]

Haha, I came here to tell him about Gravity! Beat me to it!

[@pluevo1]

This pain is so real. It hurts second hand because it is just truth

[@bluesguy6380]

One of the greatest vocal performances I ever saw

[@dawnemami3089]

She is singing her heart out… and singing her emotions and also controlling her voice… it’s incredible ❤❤❤

[@angiedavis3200]

I catch myself holding my breath when I listen to this song!

[@doughyanddeanssecondcousin5085]

That is one of the most Emotional performances I have EVER seen ,she is a GREAT Artist AMAZING

[@JoelJB60]

Her Tiny Desk set is remarkable as well. I first heard Yebba on the collaboration she did with James Francies on the song "My Day Will Come".

[@nocomment7722]

Would LOVE to see that reaction

[@dixiereinhardt3949]

Welcome to the Yebba rabbit hole! Please listen to her Tiny Desk concert. You won't be able to stop listening to her..

[@susancain8505]

You can hear the utter anguish in her voice

[@shandellehull7380]

ALWAYS watch her LIVE! THANK YOU!!!!!

[@poloreacts27]

No problem!!

[@shainachecko7938]

She is amazinggggg!!!! Omg her live performance of paranoia purple was another Great one!!

[@michellemccool5755]

Your reaction is my absolute favorite so far. Yebba is an amazing talent who sings from her soul. That is hard to find anymore.

[@dixiereinhardt3949]

Evergreen is the first time she was able to go back to a church after her mother committed suicide. That's an amazing song too. But everything she does is masterful. Yebba was the name her mother called her, which is Abbey backwards. Yebba was raised in West Memphis in the Evangelical church where her father is pastor. She was leader of the Praise and Worship group, which influences her singing, as do the blues, gospel, and other influences.

[@46foryounger]

Lmfao she’s like that’s that at the end like ok ciao I just tore everyone’s heart out their chest peace ✌🏻

[@MRSBackgroundchick]

Congratulations on the success of your channel!!! OMG! On the road to 100K! I subscribed not only because your reaction was spot on but I want to see you get to 100k! I love to see it! Keep growing! 🥂

[@pamelajones2382]

I just love this song ❤

[@noorieiversen]

Thanks for this. ❤️🙏 Her live performances are where its at. Check them all out, you won't regret it. I am literally addicted to her voice.

[@Work1963]

This is talent. I’ve been praying for years that this girl would drop an album and if she has, please let me know I would buy every record of hers. This is the kind of talent the music industry needs, but they’re too corrupt and want to push no talent artists thank God for KZbin

[@Annieetsabibli]

May I say I absolutely loved your reaction? Very authentic. Thank you.

[@46foryounger]

Lmao at your reaction that was me too when I first heard her 🤣🤣🤣 It makes sense because honestly nowadays you just don’t hear great singers like this you really don’t there’s so much technology that covers people but this girl can actually sing so then you put technology on top of that and it’s mine blowing

[@46foryounger]

I just want to know how the guitarist is holding it together and not ballin his eyes out 😆

[@mikeoliver5642]

There is no studio version. This was the first time she performed this and she captured lightning in a bottle. And even subsequent live versions are nowhere near as good as this. I also think it would be exhausting to repeatedly access the raw naked emotional vulnerability that fuelled this performance. There's a ton of great live performances from Yebba on KZbin. Her Tiny Desk concert (of 4 songs) is outstanding. You should also check out live performances of Evergreen, Boomerang, Gravity (with Clark Beckham) and Smoke (with Luke Levenson) and various songs performed live at Electric Lady. TBH her studio recordings are mostly inferior to her live performances.

[@toxictator4561]

This performance is so moving ... Raw and powerful .

[@vincentrussell7246]

When I first heard this girl this song blew my mind I mean I listen to it everyday man the tone and the vocals I mean the songs about love right it's a love song but man you ain't lying that's a powerful voice right there beautiful beautiful

[@coaldust01]

POLO, ngl, when you said you can hear her feelings coming through her vocal chords, That hit different.

[@brunnoabalos9713]

You sir reacted correctly 😌 I dead ass thought my video paused at 3:18 🤣

[@JScott-jm1bo]

Yebba is one of the best singers out there! Definitely check out her new album and her NPR concert also!

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

Yebba stated that she would never perform this song again. It was given by Yebba to the world. She wanted us to have it. She has written and sing quite a few songs. One I love is called October Sky, it's about her mother. My fave version of it is where she sings it in a field along with a male guitarist, she plays guitar.too in the video. She has incredible range, incredible power, and when she sings she is so in tune with the instruments playing along with her. She is absolutely outstanding, and a real life hidden gem. Thank you for playing her song. You will not find a studio version of it, as I said, this is the one and only recording of it. God bless you. Happy New Year!

[@laurajoyce80]

She’s insane in this! Not heard a better live vocal

[@ecow1994]

Yes please listen to her tiny desk, it's great. Her live performances are amazing. "Boomerang" (live) is a short treat. Someone commented that she's kind of a cross between Jazmine Sullivan and Adele.

[@Dstinii]

Boomerang live is soooo good.

[@chippiesicecream]

There should be a rule to reacting to this video that you can't cheat (lol) and stop the video at different points. You need to watch it from start to finish because it's so intense! One of the best ever performances by a singer-songwriter ever! Great reaction by the way:)

[@niki4you]

Incredibly sad fact a month after this performance and on the cusp of her major breakthrough in the music industry her mother committed suicide. Which kind of put the breaks on her career for a few years but she’s back with a vengeance now and the last couple years. Ok so, one major thing about Yebba is as amazing as her studio versions of her songs are, her live performances are on a whole other level, I pretty much only listen to her live recording now. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you give these Yebba live performances a reaction : - Boomerang- Yebba - October sky’s- Yebba (this one is about a memory she has of her mother when her and her brother were kids and about her grief because her mother committed suicide in October 2016) - Her tiny desk concert is out of this world amazing and has 4 songs

[@poloreacts27]

That's so tragic.. I may do more reactions with her I loved this track

[@samantha9445]

@@poloreacts27 her mother committed suicide BEFORE this. This was the first time she performed anything, let alone an original, in front of an audience, after her mother’s passing. It’s my belief that she drew the “this is the end of the world” feeling we’ve all felt in love - when singing this - but she was absolutely thinking of and singing to her mother. Listen again with that lens. “Evergreen” is about her mother, and after the suicide.

[@samantha9445]

Also, as you replay and witness how many times she’s looking up and singing with such pain and anguish - know that he grew up and grew up singing in the church. So she’s weak and she is strong. But she is absolutely bringing all walks of life speechless. This might be the first reaction I’ve watched without the reactor shedding a few - we all respond differently to observing pain. Thanks for this. I feel you her and her mother justice 🙌🏼

[@niki4you]

@@samantha9445 Nope not true, she’s said multiple times (and most recently I read in her glamour mag interview) that it was AFTER this performance “The singer first gained recognition in September 2016, when her captivating performance of the song “My Mind” at a Sofar Sounds presentation went viral on KZbin. The attention was enough to jumpstart Yebba’s career-but then, just weeks later, Yebba’s mother, Dawn, died by suicide.” - her glamour article.

[@niki4you]

@@samantha9445 I can see why you’d think that though as it’s a common misunderstanding, and she is very emotional in the performance but alas it’s not true.

[@Jihavoh777]

Yebba is stifled in the studio, imo … her live performances are always superior

[@jenniferplumley1921]

OMG she had me grieving for the 2 men I’ve loved my entire lifetime. My goodness the control and pain all at the same time is chilling to me. I’m still reeling from this performance. I feel like my knees may buckle. This is incredible

[@michaeln3044]

Oh yeah this one crazy. Her new joint boomerang live is good too, different vibes but still powerful. Check out lady leshurr, one of the most talented charismatic mc’s in the game, start with black panther got the missy cosign

[@lisabuck6427]

I don’t know how you came across my feed months ago but I subscribed then and tonight I am the happiest I did. This woman is amazing and I never would’ve seen her had it not been for you. Thank you for posting these videos. ❤

[@MrMilkbone10]

Polo was going back listening to old recordings of your this Yebba cut is unbelievable. Thanks so much.

[@annaargeanton8224]

She's got that chill factor 4 sure

[@jarreddunlap7065]

She's awesome.... As far as I know, there isn't a studio version of this song. Her song October Sky is also really good. Dedicated to her late mother. A mark of a true musical artist is that live is always better than studio. More emotion is poured into a live performance and Yebba pours it on thick. Check out her live stuff on her NPR tiny desk concert and her Live from Electric Lady studios videos where she has quest love playing drums for her.

[@sl_the_humanistyping214]

How deep is your love and how much can the heart take I think are my fav

[@tinah196]

First off, I LOVE YEBBA! Never have I experienced someone with such passion as she. I have followed her for quite some time now and never have I been disappointed. I am a new subscriber just based on the respect and authenticity of your reaction to Yebba. Great job! Not sure if you have ever heard of Teddy Swims but he has many, many good songs. You should listen to him sing I can't make you love me and Blowin Smoke. I could go on an on about Teddy Swims but just know, he will not disappoint. I also recommend Allen Stone Consider me and also Give you Blue. Enjoy!

[@lynnaustin3414]

I have never heard of this artist before - thanks for spotlighting her!! ❤

[@BLIND82]

Yebba is called Abbey Smith and she changed her name backwards in memory of her late mother. Beautiful song

[@poloreacts27]

I thought her name was interesting

[@kracine9582]

Drake wasn't the first to feature her. She has done duets with Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran on their albums too. She only just released her first album a few months ago (Dawn) and I suggest you listen and react to her Tiny Desk Concert which is 4 live cuts from that album. It is FIRE. Also, the live versions of Boomerang, October Sky, Louie Bag and Age of Worry - some of my favorites.

[@jeffbartholomew1152]

She also performed as a backup singer to Chance the Rapper. She was with him on SNL back in 2016 and he gave her a lot of credit on social for her vocals.

[@jelezoglo]

She also has a Grammy for “How deep is your love”, a duet with PJ Morton.

[@leahvolz6524]

This makes me want to sing again. I’m no where near as good as Yebba but I used to sing with that much passion and I lost it. :( beautiful song!!!

[@adnap]

I’m professional singer myself, and I just wanted to say that I hope you find what you lost again. Never give up music, it’s God’s gift to us and to others. The music is still in your heart somewhere, you just have to tap into it and let it loose. Find your inspiration and maybe find a reason to sing again. 💕

[@dawn6320]

Beautiful Reaction! Well Done Sir.

[@as7326]

Wow.

[@unity1016]

Yebba - Evergreen

[@jeffbartholomew1152]

Yebba has worked hard maintaining control over her career. After her mom passed, she knew she had to work through it with song. Apple Music produced a song for her, Evergreen, that got a lot of music producers’ attention. However, they wanted her to change her sound and move away from the sadder songs about her feelings about her mom. But Yebba declined and instead did collabs with other artists while she wrote and recorded the way she wanted to do it. One of her songs, Louie Bag, was written after she was told by music labels that she would be a big star (and could buy all the Louis Vuitton bags she wanted) if she would just get past the death of her mom. Her journey has been slow but it’s been on her terms. This year, she opened for John Mayer. She also has some live performances at The Electric Lady in which Pino Paladino played bass. Pino also plays bass for John Mayer a lot and did so on this latest tour. She’s making a lot of traction right now!

[@delanadavis6536]

Follow this song with her song boomerang six years later. Love her.

[@capehARTlines]

she's awesome. amazing reaction. i think ud really enjoy postmodern jukebox doing the song 'creep'. chills!

[@kboogieg9424]

I believe that this is the only version of "My Mind" that is available.

[@cherylhartley2355]

They play this version on Amazon. And I 1st heard of her on a Sam Smith song. I love her, she's great!!

[@tonihampton3457]

Yebba "smoke" great song

[@anitawatkins2746]

Evergreen the video. Boomerang live. Gravity duet with Clark Beckham.

[@poloreacts27]

What does evergreen the video mean? Is that a title?

[@anitawatkins2746]

Meant to say check out the production video for the song Evergreen. Not the live version. You can hear the entire song that way and acoustics of the location.

[@meilaw2877]

Check out Boomerang live version...duet w Clark Beckham Gravity...duet w Ed sheeran Best Part of Me...duet w PJ Morton how deep is your love

[@abelnaga3446]

Check out Gravity n Evergreen too, it's equally mindblowing.

[@sunshinexoc1]

I wasn’t ready -understatement of the year lol

[@SHE-IS]

❤

[@chelse6139]

been on repeat all week for me.. going through a similar situation and it's helping me grieve..

[@dannyrancher]

I put a spell on you, Angelina Jordan. When she was 9 years old. She actually won Norway's got talent when she's was 6 or 7.

[@shanadellos6034]

Gravity! Tiny Desk! Evergreen! Age of Worry!

[@vanesOnYT]

yep, on repeat

[@sl_the_humanistyping214]

ohhhh and boomeranggggg

[@46foryounger]

I love her song stand

[@Mindurpassionlv702]

She wrote another song for her mother called Evergreen. Beautiful song.

[@jessietucker9342]

Incredible vocalist, incredible song. Mind-blowing! You need to check out Beth Hart live, "Caught Out in the Rain" is a good start. Portishead is another one that is good live. Diverse female artists but powerful none the less. Ms Janis Joplin live is amazing as well. Yebba is one of my current favorites right now no doubt. Happy reacting!!!

[@LuckyNate317]

There is no studio version! This was one and done!

[@robinjohnson8330]

Her Mom had passed away around that time. Yebba is the truth!

[@linn4670]

You HAVE to react to her Tiny Desk Concert, i promise you will truly enjoy it!

[@meilaw2877]

What the...what the....whaattt? Exactly.

[@46foryounger]

Yes you are right when o watch her even comment on between sets I get the sense she has been through some kind of emotional trauma. Honestly most artists have been through some ish. They say that a good many bi polar people tend to move toward the arts which is very true . It’s a place where they have more freedom because the arts are about living and striving outside the box. There is also a lot of drug use with artists mostly due to self medicating because they are undiagnosed especially back in the day. Nowadays we are more educated about this but great artists like Nina Simone really suffered greatly. Back in the day

[@user-zl7jl4qz8o]

You gotta do Yebba Smith & Clark Beckham - Gravity (John Mayer Cover)

[@HKAMILAH]

Great reaction

[@hendadjemour9501]

Louie bag is my favorite right now, but the live version

[@priddycrankyyankeeamyniemi8957]

This hits every time, i haven't gotten thru once without getting choked up. Larry of the Les Twins has an amazing powerful freestyle dance to this. You need to check that out.

[@TheHomesteadingHobbit]

This was a particularly hard song to sing because just a week prior to this performance her mom unalived herself. 😢

[@erincoughlin4187]

Great reaction to an amazing performance. I’m here to encourage you to check out Yebba’s collaboration with Clark Beckham, singing Gravity. It’s phenomenal!

[@watsona2011]

Listen to "Gravity" by her and Clark Beckham also "Evergreen" by her is amazing

[@parrisj21]

You have to watch her latest tiny desk concert

[@46foryounger]

I would be shocked if she didn’t have music in her familiar background. You don’t. Just song like this unless you have that subliminal learning around you. Like Mariah and her mother being an opera singer. I would love to know her background

[@pluevo1]

She blends Jasmine Sullivan and Adele

[@blushadow1726]

Yebba, Abbey backwards,

[@marieriddick8388]

What does it mean when she says " I sure won't stay, but I'll be damn if I ever ain't I'm leaving" @9:47

[@muddybudgie]

I loved your reaction. I adore YEBBA and there is no one quite like her. I recommend you react to her song Evergreen; there is an MV. She has also done a Tiny Desk Performance you could check out. I would also love to see your reaction to BTS - Black Swan. Thank you 💜

[@paxonearth]

WOW is right. Check out Evergreen and October Sky (live)

[@mirtieraczo5842]

Here's your list, lol! Gravity by Clark Beckham Evergreen (video) October Sky Boomerang Tiny Desk concert How Much Can a Heart Take with Lucky Daye which is nominated for a Grammy this year. And always do the live versions.

[@mirtieraczo5842]

I would like to suggest Chris Stapleton if you haven't already reacted to him. He's a country singer but he's got soul and he's more bluesy than country. Any of the following would be great: Tennessee Whiskey Sometimes I Cry (Bing Lounge performance) Cold I Was Wrong (Austin City Limits performance) Fire Away (video) Either Way Death Row What Are You Listening To You Should Probably Leave 2015 CMA's performance of Tennessee Whiskey" and "I Can't Drink You Away" with Justin Timberlake "Say Something" (video) by Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton. Pay attention to the video, it's pretty cool and it was shot in one take. I suggest any live versions of these songs.

[@najaberthelsen]

She is wailing..

[@dhr2330]

I have been thinking of how to approach you on this particular artist and video, first of all I did a search on your channel, and you have not reacted to this artist, and particularly this performance. Me personally, this particular video performance had an effect on my life, I can't say that about every video I have listened to, this will be your own personal experience, something out of this world is coming through Diana as she performs this song, it grabs you and will not let you go, I'm saying these few words to get your attention, I am not the only person to have this particular video performance change their lives. Some advice while watching and listening to this video, do not take your eyes off her, keep your eyes fixed to the screen while playing the video, watch every inflection of emotion and feeling coming through her, another thing listen very carefully to her voice, it will cut to your soul like a razor blade, and last of all open your soul to her voice and let it possess you completely, and watch what happens to you when you reach the end of this mesmerizing performance by Diana Navarro. Don't be concerned that the song is in Spanish, just listen and feel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpK8qIuErq6YhcU Currently 2,445,210 views
