[@Brightening411]

The 68 people that don't like this have never known good music and need prayer. Absolutely love SEVANA..!!!!She's so talented!!! Me love you like MANGO!!!

[@mynamedoesntmatter3231]

Thank you for bringing Jamaica to your show. I love this woman. Her face, her skin, her voice, her body. I love her. She makes me feel proud to be a girl from this little island.

[@kanahisrael0126]

Blessing to Queen Sevana nice smooth Neo -Soul Reggae Vibe. Blessing to the Elder Jamaican Queens Sister Charmaine and Yvonne Sterling who has just passed away and pave the way for these new youthful talented Queens. Queens like Sevana, Lila Ike, Koffee, Jaz Elise, Naomi Cowan, Jah9, and Kelissa of the Zinc Fence Camp keep the vibe,spirit and fire 🔥 blazing . It would be nice to see a virtual concert with all these Queens together performing. 🔥

[@oceanstar2294]

Absolutely!

[@MaryMary-fw5rv]

Yess Sevana, we’ve been waiting. Me love you like you like mango girl 😍😍😍😍

[@wrldprincess]

her Be Somebody EP is literally getting me through the winter

[@sadvelvetgirl]

They finally gave my Queen a tiny desk. God bless.

[@elywananda]

Wonderful, as expected. It's funny how she keeps saying she's nervous. If she didn't say it you'd never guess. She exudes a poise and calmness outwardly.

[@samuelpierce6322]

ABSOLUTELY! I THOUGHT THE EXACT SAME THING! YEAH!

[@HopeVideoEdits]

Loved this performance! "Be Somebody" is still in heavy rotation.

[@Lilly-leaf]

I've never seen a Jamaican who hasn't got flawless skin. They GLOW, beautiful people!

[@fempoful]

This is just pure excellence. Sevana, I've been waiting for your Tiny Desk!!!

[@ramarioricketts7448]

Y’all sleeeeepp on Sev!!! She’s honestly one of the most versatile female Jamaican singers!!!

[@ShannMatar]

Love from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹🌴

[@Queenceba29]

When I first clicked on this I had no idea who this was. She sang and I assumed she was American because for whatever reason many singers sound American when they sing then she started talking..lol. I said oh! We got an island girl! Cool! Then I read the comments and see she's Jamaican. Big up Jamaica! This sista is 🔥!👏🏾👏🏾

[@nataliel7161]

Sevana literally has one of the smoothest voices I've ever heard. Pure beauty! Respect!!!

[@ashbash1022luvu]

I love that this is what reggae sounds like in 2021. I'm here for all of it!

[@cavedancesinc.6775]

Beautiful woman with a fantastic voice and musical accompaniment. You are great!

[@williamdorenlot6757]

Sooooo fresh ! Jamaica rocking it. Hope you feel the support from the uk 🕺🏻

[@jayannadl]

Beautiful sister Sev and all the wonderful music men with her💚🖤💛

[@sisraye]

Sis said she was nervous and killed it!! See that’s probably why I can’t sing cause The Most High knows if I had a voice like that you couldn’t tell me nothing 😂

[@oceanstar2294]

Never expected this Sevana singer to be on NPR, aside from her friend Lila Ike. I first seen her on that reggae song _Rock and Groove_ ! NPR is a prodigy of inviting various artists around the world, even the ones that arent too too known. Big ups for featuring Sevana and they should invite Sampa the Great on NPR one day!

[@dermottmorris6425]

Sampa is a real one, a great one🖤🔥

[@oceanstar2294]

@@dermottmorris6425 Exactly, she's so cute and amazing! 💖✨🔥

[@nells6048]

Sampa is on now.

[@khatshitshisikhawe]

'Blessed' had me pulling the stank face right through!!! Such a goddess this one! Hands down ❤❤

[@bianca7147]

Jamaican style is just soooo styleeee

[@ddxchannelcaribbean]

Melanin so rich! What a beautiful woman. Caribbean women top tier every time I thought she was looking at me at 1:23 😂 So talented. I was hoping she would sing 'bit too shy' but that is back in the catalogue. Great artist!

[@homodeus8713]

GORGEOUS

[@genaegonsalves4290]

I wish she sang more songs! That's my only complaint lol. It was beautiful from start to finish!! Left me wanting more! I love live performances and Sevana killed it! Expected nothing but the best from her.

[@cawley]

What a voice. If you told me she was a young Amy Winehouse, I would not disagree. We are blessed with her and her voice. Hope to hear a lot more from her.

[@katherinebarahona4898]

Wowwwwww she took us to CHURCHHHH. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS 🔥🔥💗✨

[@MediaBizTO]

Sevana is among the best of our current vocalists out of Jamaica we are “blessed” by her vocal prowess with each song. 👌🏾❤️🔥

[@ashdall]

Amazing. Sevana you’re so incredibly talented and beautiful. Such a well executed Tiny Desk and an genuine showcase of Jamaican talent. Great job to your band and team!

[@julianreidbailey5447]

[@LeeAGGold]

Been a fan of her music from "Carry You". She is going places and taking us with her through her lyrics and melodies.

[@poeticempress3]

Definitely

[@Paisley.319]

How about since SLR in rising stars alot of people don't know that was her.

[@keyleenr1]

The vocals, the instrumentation, the vibes ! It’s all so beautiful 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@homodeus8713]

The World's Sevana

[@TheStarisCourtney]

I was thinking the exact same thing... if you listen to her music on musical platforms, there are moments where they actually sound alike. I haven’t quite gotten through this concert yet to tell. Still on the 1st song - lol. But Amazing comment! 🤩

[@kalkidanendale5404]

In my opinion, She sounds nothing like beyonce, she has her own colorful voice, unique of a voice. I think what makes her similar is the way she does the high notes beautifully , i dont know any other reggae artist with them high notes so far.... but Don't get me wrong i love beyonce they both have beautiful voices. Perhaps she is a hope for this generation.

[@abitsengnkwe991]

I know I am very late to the party when it comes to this lady’s music - January 2024 - It’s been a very long time since I came across such a Musical breath of fresh air.

[@boitumelodibetso8719]

Never heard her music before. But I am glad I found her.

[@meridianmusicvid]

Same

[@howiepalmer]

Gutted I didn’t get to see Sevana (alongside Lila Iké and Proteje) in London last year as it got cancelled due to Covid - but this is a good substitute. Big up to Sevana for this and for opening with my fave song of hers and for NPR for this. Always proud to see the islands getting their shine. Thank you 👊🏾

[@leonie85]

Me too!

[@howiepalmer]
