[@michaelthompson6860]

What a beautiful gift to be able to dissect words and their pronunciation at the same time in time with musical rhythms. Yeah, they from heaven. Done.

[@kreyolqueen2279]

I love your words.

[@j.riffney7939]

A beautiful smile & beautiful explaination of words, sir.

i often think they are literally a personification of heaven. so amazing

[@666HorrorShock]

Congrats on the Grammy nomination!!! WELL DESERVED!

[@lakeshiapierce9073]

She's GORGEOUS and CONFIDENT

[@gm1bailey263]

This proves why I say that Tank and Jelly are TRULY BETTER TOGETHER THAN APART BUT BOTH ARE AWESOME

[@TheProverbs1]

Absolutely agree

[@stylecollective-qt9um]

COME ON, VOCALS, LASHES, & LIVE INSTRUMENTATION!!! I love Jelly's ad libs, she makes me smile ❤️ , and that Tank - she's so insanely pretty! The camera loves that face as much as the mic loves that voice of hers and that's the God's honest truth. 💯

[@batacumbelecintron4368]

I love you guys! 60 year old New York Puerto Rican!!! Never too old to learn! Thank you for the class!

[@bennymartin607]

I love Tank and the Bangas. Who else wants to hear Jelly go for a whole song? I think their pairing is phenomenal. Some things are just meant to happen.

[@danfossard4626]

Tank is so unbelievably, unfathomably and ridiculously gorgeous!

[@Juanatin]

This video gives us a closer look at the dynamics of their improvisation. The restraint and thoughtfulness of the flute-player, and the way the background singer is always one step behind Tank. All of these musicians are just so talented, it´s hard to take in in just one watch.

[@soulfulofnoise]

WELL SAID WELL SAID!

[@lilnetti9242]

She is the soul personification of enchantment. Jelly and Tank are perfection together

[@j_lynsation]

They are absolutely incredible. You never hear the same version of a cut from them twice. I LOVE THEM.

[@leeannegunn9295]

I've got to stop this video and call my husband, in tears. He is my forever roller coaster that never comes down.

[@Slynell1]

Some deep shit

[@tiyab3104]

I wish my husband was that kind of roller coaster. Happy for you. 🥰

[@user-kc4ts6lc7k]

BEAUTIFUL...💖🔥💖🔥💖

[@quaystewart7175]

Every time i hear “boxes and squares” it’s different. I live the versatility in the song and the talent you guys have 😍😍

[@michaelthompson6860]

Now I know what it truly means to be a creator of love musically. That woman in the yellow got my heart. Jesus help me.

[@ajreneemua5060]

I just discovered them last night and I am so irrevocably obsessed. They are bringing me so much poetic inspo, I haven't done spoken word in about a year and they just reminded me why I love it so much. They're music is so unique and I love their energy and friendship and it's beautiful and they are all so beautiful

[@HollyTova]

Gurl me too, I have so much respect for the talent of the entire group!!

[@othermirth1866]

Saw them last week in PDX - super fun! I love the way they operate in that hybrid zone of rnb, soul, funk, and hip hop- almost every song has elements of all of these. Masterful arranging!

[@favoredloved2441]

I discovered them last year!...I LIKE THEEEM!💕💕💖😁

[@sheeara]

If you knew how often I watch this… I’m a writer and I can never get enough of the lyrical magic Tank and the Bangas provide my inspiration. Thank you, Past Studios. This has been a special treat for me since the click that landed me on it. Appreciating your work in the North. ~Sheeara, Alaska

[@thepsybill]

i always cry when i hear "Rollercoaster" no matter wich version

[@yippee2000]

Is she not one of the most beautiful people/souls on the planet? I just love to watch her face in motion...to hear that voice... She's adorable.

[@monicajohnson1398]

OMG I thought I was the only one who cries when I hear this song

[@nepenthes1978]

ditto

[@thepsybill]

you never walk alone

[@TheREVERENDO1982]

Ecco cosa intendo quando parlo di arte... Magia pura!

[@sbillips753]

"The best ones come from soundchecks" Yaaaasssssss!!! That is music.

[@marcusbusby]

This is the best live music and vocals I have heard in the last 20 years I can't wait to see them live and show them some love wow!

[@elisaclement4927]

Amazing band!!! I saw them live in Paris. OMG. They brought sun in my heart.

[@tomishamoore2796]

Boxes and Squares this version is so damn chill I love it! They need to record this one and the version from Tiny Desk and just release them as singles.

[@hector_ls]

❤

[@bells5494]

SUPER Talented!! This is real music!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel that this set is an amalgam of Bahamadia + Jill Scott + Floetry + Ledisi= FIRE!!!!

[@snafu_uk]

Erykah badu

[@ajones8661]

I love these two beautiful women, their musicology and a creativity that just keeps giving and giving!

[@meloneejohnson3385]

I love her laugh! They have such cool energy!

[@stephenjemyers]

Don't they; I'm just hoping for it to rub off on me y know

[@YosefEl75]

SEEN THEM @ THE U.C. THEATER IN BERKELEY CA... WHILE WORKING SECURITY...HARD TO DO MY WORK..AMAZIN SHOW😍

[@carly2290]

This is the third version of Boxes and Square I’ve heard and every single time it’s so different and has a completely different vibe and they’re all so perfect wow

[@otakuchic161]

Love yall since I found yall at NPR

[@fireyflower6643]

[@BriBeMe315]

"I'm in the minority" Tank: "How does it feel?" I can't 😂😂😍😍😍

[@maloriec351]

[@shareatha]

[@dkbeard3810]

[@TsetsiStoyanova]

The sound is enchanting

[@stickshiftt9127]

Fans of the Old Kanye would hear those Kanye bars in their first song. I wish we had the old Kanye back....😓😓 Glad we have Tank & the Bangas though.

[@jj9533]

I love how different every version is. This one of boxes squares was sick

[@keshiapeters1575]

I love the r&b/funk/blues version of boxes and squares. Tank and Jelly's voices remind me of songs from the 90s like a mix of Lauryn Hill or Brandy.

[@race-partners]

How is this possible? Amazing.

[@DBee-ee7tz]

True magic! Explanation not for mere mortals.

[@ernestenockdavis415]

Unique, expressive, refreshing, comfortable, gospel soulful, warm and smooth like a silk rob, exciting like the first kiss. Emotionally fulfilled.

[@simonerae1451]

Don't worry. Whoever hit dislike hit it by mistake cause they were so excited, trying to hit the like button. ❤ Beautiful 😍😁

[@ransfordkwabenaarthur2334]

[@jeanineknox82]

Yessssssssssss

[@dkbeard3810]

The groove on Boxes and Squares.....GENIUS! Feelin' this tonight! "Do something about it..."

[@briannarose2207]

some unseen forces brought these ppl togther surely

[@jeffreymontes7155]

Can't get enough of her smile and there energy!!

[@gingerdude55]

Man Jelly is gorgeous 😍😶

[@blainegarcia2503]

She is so pretty. Like when they started "rollercoaster" she had a thought and she got lost in it for a second. So beautiful to see real people doing what we all love. And doing it WELL.

[@ritak8715]

Tank is beautiful as well

[@bellaj4215]

Their music and lyrics move through me like nothing else.

[@Zll97]

This group is so freaking incredible! Need to see them live ASAP

[@SC-uc7qv]

The best live band in a long time! Watch out they are about to blow up!!!!

[@YakThaWiseman72]

Indeed would love to see them tour with the Roots

[@owenkjartanson7476]

Love this version of Boxes, so smooth. What a vibe.

[@foxypsycho]

I prefer the tiny desk version🤷🏾‍♀️

[@jhonnatangamav4349]

-So, you're gonna play three songs --Yeah . -Just two songs more --Yeah . -Last song now --Yeah . -Well, those were three songs --Yeah *keeps playing* -Well, keep playing if you want --Yeah LOVE YALL TANK AND THE BANGAS!

[@lailaharding8394]

I discovered them when I was 13 i am now 14 not a big difference but I love the tank and the bangas I can't wait to meet them it's on my bucket list 💗💛

[@GATURKS]

This should have over a million views. Why it doesn't, is a mystery to me.

[@m.r.browning2065]

Again just such a beautiful set . I especially enjoyed this arrangement of Boxes and Squares . And yeah I too get teary-eyed each time I hear Roller Coasters . I think its a deeply personal song .

[@marshallwillis371]

I love their music and their spirit.

[@blakef8484]

This always changes my mood.

[@blainegarcia2503]

They got me all the way together tonight. Im ready to face a new day with my SPIRIT FULFILLED!!!

[@dkbeard3810]

I absolutely LOVE this version of Spaceships!!

[@generaljackson8395]

This group is soooooooo damn fly- im a new HUGE FAN

[@elizabethlee225]

I love tank and the bangas 💛💛💛🌻🌻🌻🌞🌞🌞

[@nhlanhlakhambule5057]

JELLY IS MY FAVORITE !!! I LOVE HER.

[@ebonithompson5026]

This helps my anxiety 💕

[@patriciarichards9112]

Omgoodness!!!! This slowed down version of Boxes and Squares is off the fucking chain!!!!!

[@joliburs]

I love this group so much!

[@JustMarkavalli]

Do some people get paid for leaving 'Dislikes'? cos i don't get it, this group is just what music is about .......FUN.

[@YakThaWiseman72]

Nah they just negative

[@user-is1qe2jo9v]

maybe it's because of the stupid non-sense-question-asking interruptions of the guy off camera. i did +1 on that vid but i could understand a dislike.

[@waynedexter]

It funny. Every video with 1K views or more has at least 1 dislike. This has been happening for last 15 years now. But yet there’s always folks bring attention to dislikes asking how or why. Makes me think why comment on something that’s pretty much ubiquitous. Especially considering that what’s most important is the views, not the dislikes.

[@LeanMeanAsianCuisine]

She’s so vulnerable in such a beautiful way, she really does have wings

[@kyrawhite5991]

Aww her band member was flirting how cute!

[@TheTrill334]

She leaps over most talent. Their music is fresh as well water.

[@wsidechris]

I tried to get some work done while playing this, and got absolutely nothing done. Excellent!!

[@caithenry8429]

First semester in a PhD in a field that doesn't have any field usefulness really makes the first song hit different.

[@yourladyangelas.5907]

My goodness I love their energy!!!!! I just want to sit in on their sessions. I can listen to them all day. Phenomenal!

[@shivon.monique]

I definitely felt this way in college

[@robina5115]

Rollercoasters and Themeparks❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I played themeparks at my wedding

[@dmayojohnson2568]

Adia, that sounds lovely,❤.

[@tron.w.7793]

So many are missing out on this....smh

[@user-yk2gr8ep4i]

Literally crying while listening. This poetry is so real and so beautiful and has so much genuine humour, it's more than music and I'm so into it. Best youtube discovery this year!

[@lovelylaanix4]

Omg she favors Jill Scott so much 😩😭😭😭😭

[@tashdee7181]

How can you not love them! ❤❤

[@nathanporter2740]

JELLY MAD SEXY THIS GROUP LIKE NO OTHER THEY REALLY SHOULD BE MAIN STREAM

[@nontymathebula6470]

Passion is all the world needs

[@carolmanson4497]

Jelly is awesome! Perfect match for Tank 👍🏾

[@alexandrechapon2644]

One of the best performance from a genius band. Jelly is very sexy in this green dress, she is the queen of backing vocal (she deserves her how solo career, but please come back). Tank once again not only sing perfectly but also makes me smile, she able to beam good energy, not only through her voice, but also her gesture and her look. the keyboards players and drummer (sorry I forgot your names) are very talented, their skills adds perfect melody. big love from France, je vous aime !

[@alexandrechapon2644]

Thanks Anya accuracy first

[@indearest1]

Tank baby girl you make me feel so happy, the resonance of your voice is what I imagine the wind sounds like in heaven.

[@mikesams83]

Her hair be SO DOPE!

[@uzithadancer4002]

[@lovelylaanix4]

[@satsukikorin]

[@tiffanih8465]

[@chapterrv]

The bass parts are being played on the Moog (next to the flute)

[@ManifestSoulPeace]

Never heard of them but I have now search they whole entire portfolio!!!! These queens are speaking truth and satisfying our soul at the same damn time I will be going to the concert in March they just stopped me in my tracks

[@lakeshiapierce9073]
