This woman can SING HER HEART OUT! Reaction to Yebba’s My Mind at Sofar NYC

[@TheStr8AndNarrow]

In an NPR interview with Yebba, it was mentioned that this video quickly went viral after it was posted. Ed Sheeran was one of the millions who watched it and it made him cry (so you're in good company, Richard). He sought her out and co-signed her to his label. But three weeks after she released this song, her mother committed suicide. So just as her career was set to skyrocket, she took time off to deal with PTSD and heal. Her songwriting and her singing comes from a place that is heart-wrenchingly authentic. She makes my love for music grow.

[@tessfui03]

Yes, and her song Evergreen, a song about her mother, is so lovely and emotionally touching ❤ definitely worth a listen

[@marie-anneguibereau7344]

Listen to her Tiny Desk Concert, she's wonderful and her band and back singers are excellent. Listen to her and Clark Beckham singing Gravity by John Mayer...gorgeous!

[@Lulabee2024]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the guitarist ...the control it must have taken to feel her passion and pain while performing this and still keep it together...WHOO.! Wow. Fantastic reaction guys. Loved it.

[@susanleigh7618]

Wow!! I was crying right along with you Richard. What a voice and performance!! Great reaction guys!!❤

[@johnarndt1501]

She's the best as far as the dynamics of mixing runs and technique with emotion in my book. And her choices as far as those dynamics are awesome. (The sing-crying, primal sounds etc)

[@jimbrown424]

Yebba and Clark Beckham doing Gravity by John Mayer is sooooo worth a reaction. Singing and playing is so on point.

[@beberrisber5390]

UP !

[@WoodlandT]

Agreed!!!

[@bryanarabejo7859]

Plsssss

[@jaimeattenborough5952]

That is one of my all time fav songs! I adore yebba ! I have watched that video hundreds of times ❤❤❤ isn't she incredible ! 😮❤ listen to her others she is super talented.

[@calipidgious]

Everything she does is amazing but her Tiny Desk Concert is just superb. She's got so many great songs and I'm constantly astounded she hasn't exploded on the scene yet.

[@reginareggiedendy3246]

SO glad that you reacted to this song by Yebba!! 😍😍

[@saragates2255]

It was FUN watching you two melt into your chairs 🤣 What a voice! Control! You're right... There's something inherently corrupt about the industry when an artist like this isn't a household name. Let's give her some attention 🫶

[@kracine9582]

Yebba is so fantastic. Please react to more of her stuff. Her Tiny Desk Concert is amazing!

[@SICRE777]

❤I've been listening to this magician for a few years, she hangs our hearts on the wall, you can judge it in her other videos, the music fairies have leaned over her cradles, she's an incredible artist, endowed with a unique voice. Thank you for your thoughtful comments. hello from France

[@KitaBelle23]

Finally Yebba. Mind blowing vocalist. 🎉

[@michaelp3975]

Wow! First time I ever heard of her... Special....like a mixture of Adele and Angelina Jordan .. Beautiful

[@EllanaTs]

I agree!

[@TheStr8AndNarrow]

So excited for this! This performance is in a league of its own.

[@TheStr8AndNarrow]

Yebba also has a duet with Clark Beckham, just him on the piano and their pure vocals covering John Mayer’s “Gravity.” Clark is another one to check out, a grossly underrated musician.

[@muddybudgie]

Sooo glad you’ve discovered Yerba. Listen to Evergreen, Boomerang, Gravity.

[@annesophie57]

you should listen to her Tiny Desk concert; it is mind-blowing.

[@TomN_D]

agreed. a reaction to it would be great. the background vocalist are fire also.

[@Emilie-one]

I cry every time I have heard this . She emotes the pain and it is palpable.

[@-R.Gray-]

I always thought this was one of the most emotional performance on KZbin. This and the James Blunt's "Monsters" video. And the guitar accompaniment was flawless too.

[@k1k2voyer]

@@-R.Gray- and Martina Mc Brides music video for Concrete Angel, the most gutwrenching video I have ever seen. Have you seen James Blunt the girl Who Never Was yet? O.m.g.

[@brendaguerin5423]

Her song Boomerang, live! is worth a listen!!!!

[@keithrichardson6836]

What a roller-coaster of emotions and to be introduced to a new artist for me. What a revelation outstanding moment👏👌

[@dariajustdaria2292]

This song makes me cry every time...More of the magic that Yebba is please!❤ She's out of this world, truly unique 😍

[@desiraevang]

Yebba is such an amazing vocalist. I love when people react to this specific performance from her. The lyrics, the passion, the delivery and her vocal agility for this song, it changes your life. So good!

[@kathynoriega8602]

She is fantastic. This song is AMAZING!

[@chrisevert7539]

Oh boy! I am soooo glad you're getting to know Yebba. She is something else. ❤ I am crying with you, Richard.

[@carmenvelazquezvega7564]

Estoy sin palabras.....qué acabo de oir?Es la cancion más emotiva que he escuchado en mis 60 años.Mis respetos para esta señora😭👏😭👏😭👏😭👏💔💔

[@marjoriemena7203]

So beautyfull!!!

[@ajmartin6790]

Wowww, just wowww!

[@realitywins-do5hj]

Just profound in those words alone has you emotional ,never heard of her ,but learning her momma committed suicide soon after , I cried too! Just beautiful,actually what an emotional song it truly is,her voice is gorgeous. Loved your authentic reaction.

[@markalusss]

Yebba is a student of Gospel music. She has said that she’s inspired and influenced by many Black gospel artists. Thats what much of her talent mirrors. Ive always said she sounds like Kim Burrell, Dorinda Clark-Cole mixed with a little bit of Jazmine Sullivan.

[@ijustneedmyself]

Credit where credit is due 👏🏽

[@petacream6738]

Wow….. I am in tears, was not expecting that this morning

[@orrmeli]

So excited for this reaction!!!!!

[@farahdormanesh4690]

So beautiful ❤

[@eliselippert9953]

Yes! She is Amazing!!!!! Why she only have 262.000 subscribers baffels me 🤯🤯

[@sinemkizilarslan]

What was that, still crying !… 🥺🤯

[@lollettealipe9363]

Skill and emotion❤

[@WoodlandT]

Yebba is amazing 💙

[@susanhughes1800]

Oh my gosh so heartbreaking😢 her voice is so beautiful!! Thank you for sharing!! Where in the world is this singers come from?

[@moparlinke]

imaging see this live ? My heart would stop

[@deleahsmith916]

OMG, yes, Yebba!! Please react to her cover of Gravity with Clark Beckham

[@paulaallen6649]

Agreed so amazing 👏

[@orrmeli]

Ugh had to work all day so I had to wait until 6pm. But fabulous!!!!!

[@donald1379]

Incredible❤thanks guys❤❤

[@sierra6936]

Lovely 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@alicekoppenol-pitti6257]

Been going back to this song a lot just to examine the details more closely. Yebba's phenomenal voice takes control of " your mind" in an almost confrontational way. The haunting melodie of that guitar conjures an image of her crouched on the floor, arms around her waist rocking to and fro in an attempt to deal with the pain of betrayal. They are so effective in their storytelling that it is almost jarring when she ends with that dry " there's that" . Yebba obviously taps into her own true emotions because it feels very authentic and deeply personal in this specific moment in time. It wouldn't surprise me if this is a one off performance.

[@margatalaveradelaiglesia9439]

Que preciosa voz!!! Y que maravilla de interpretación 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@Vincent-oz6om]

Yebba super ❤

[@evefinkelstein7774]

Larry Bourgeois (half of the dance duo Les Twins) does an improv street performance to this song that will tear your heart. His dance is as exquisite as Yebba’s singing and well worth a viewing.

[@franny6591]

Coucou, bonjour vous 👋 j'aime beaucoup ses œuvres, elle en a qui me font pleurer de bonheur. Bonne journée à vous ❤❤❤ 😘😘😘🙏 depuis Paris 🙏

[@BridgetteMcCaskill]

I would recommend her : Evergreen, her Tiny Desk concert, live w/ Luck Daye (How Much Can a Heart Take) w/ Clark Beckham feat. Gravity and Smoke w/ Luke Levenson to start.😊

[@k1k2voyer]

Oh yay! We didnt lie about the need for tissues, did we! Cant wait to see your full response Richard. Looks like maybe Johnny got a little wibbly too? I know that even after hundreds of viewings, i will be ugly crying, this is my go to catharsis song.

[@orrmeli]

Not many singers can tell a story like she and Lara Fabian.

[@rjs722]

The song and performance is epic. Check out Evergreen. Live performance is another favorite. She is so good at taking you on a rollercoaster of emotions.

[@DearsGreece]

Amazing!

[@monahelenrnningsen98]

please hear her Boomerang (live)😊

[@Trapezo1]

Please react to her Tiny Desk concert

[@nickallen8392]

Its going to be a crazy reaction

[@artnoxon2841]

"Yancing Queen" hahahaha, Johnny.

[@orrmeli]

Her tiny desk concert is amazing!

[@mariachaverri7607]

Amazing 🎉

[@daviddyer6751]

Tip of the hat to the guitarist/accompanist, who proves that less is more.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

🇬🇧🧙🏼‍♂️.....🥇unique tone picking and noodling just enough but never crossing the line.

[@EllanaTs]

I didn’t know this Artist. Beautiful vocals! She reminded me somewhat of Adele.

[@stephanieallangarman5598]

Congrats on finding YEBBA..she’s one of my favorites in the US. Her and Haley Reinhart are absolutely Incredible. YEBBA’s TINY DESK is AMAZING. I LOVE YEBBA. I want to cry 😢to and just so you know she always sings passionately because her mother committed suicide years ago…but she is like DIANA ANKUDINOVA she sings her emotions.

[@philharris5848]

This is by any standard an incredible performance, the pure variety of both her tone and technique was absolutely stunning. Another fantastic young singer you should both definitely react to is 20 year old Lucy Thomas from the UK. Many reactors have said that she has the most beautiful female voice on the planet. I'd love to hear what you guys think.

[@marjoriemena7203]

Hello. I'm new here. I'm cuban and i love you guys

[@judithtorres4409]

Perfect performance indeed. So painful and scary. I dont know that I want to be loved that way.

[@larsscholz3762]

"I sure won't stay, but I'll be damned if I ever leave!" - what a line... she is showing you that emotional prison she was locked in.

[@ibtissamelbrini1649]

I love you guys

[@melissezgin4226]

Whether you film your reaction or not, I strongly recommend 'Smoke' by Luke Levenson and Abbey Smith (aka Yebba). It's one of my all time favourite songs!

[@alanaduran9045]

I love this song. And no shade but the handsome fellow without hair heard was impressed and got it from jump. You sir know your vocals

[@ftomlin3270]

Yebba's mother committed suicide a week after she first sang this original song thus giving it an even deeper meaning.

[@fatimfatim8608]

Tres emouvant😭

[@as7326]

🔥🔥🔥💜💜💜

[@nataliemarshall7158]

You can’t sing like that without having been through the pain she’s singing about 😢

[@paulaallen6649]

❤❤❤

[@dragana.kuzmanovic]

Audience watching: Yep, they're about to lose their minds... Outcome: Richard crying in disbelief, Johnny paralyzed 🤭

[@shonamcnally5855]

October Sky (live) is worth a listen.

[@daviddyer6751]

Buckle your seatbelts guys.

[@tamtam7546]

Please react to her other gems: NPR Tiny Desk concert, Gravity duo with Clark Beckham, and Evergreen. She is an incredible artist and should be know globally.

[@clarenewman2713]

Check out her Electric Lady Studios' performance of The Age of Worry. It's something else

[@maddalenacherchi]

Yebba is incredible artist. She is famous ❤. Please next Diana Navarro video El Perdon😮😢❤

[@Carmen-do9ci]

yebba is great, she's insane lol. but i wanted to say that that chords progression has me on a chokehold ; it's so easy but i can't stop playing it on guitar ever since i heard it. Glad t see y'all reacting and analyzing it!! Would love for you to do RAYE as well! especially the brits awards performance, or oscar winning tears with orchestra!!

[@KitaBelle23]

Agreed about Jacob Collier and working with unique artists. He does a short with the Indian twin sisters I've mentioned to you.

FINALLY! GO WATCH diana Navarro singing El Perdón. Watch the music video, it is a work of art.

[@mjwebb6160]

Yebba is an extraordinary singer. A rare talent. Her duet with Lucky Daye is the not as sad as this. It is so full of joy. Two wonderful singers enjoying the moment. And of course her Tiny Desk performance is not to be missed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aam3Y5iNhr6Ui68si=jiEGMs8qCeA0-g8q

[@codypendragons]

Hi I'm the one that suggested dimash's one sky after you watched SOS I suggest Abby's Evergreen after you've seen this it's about her mom's death and she actually says her mom's in hell😢

[@Robbie0929]

Yes, we live in a bubble

[@Robbie0929]

I've been holding back on commenting on this. It cuts way to deep, I've lived through this, and it hurts. I know they say when you can face it, it can be healing, Bull shit!!

[@lianasokara3963]

Guys you HAVE to check out EIVOR "falling free" and Kaz Hawkins "surviving"❤ PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏

Nice reaction! I love her song October Sky. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqrWomh9r7mLnMUsi=Yy5NTUVgZy-GvZod

[@lizsteele8858]

Yay! Been wondering if you'd ever react to this Vocal Queen.🤩 Discovered her a few years back...I think through this song & performance. Sat there with my mouth open in wonder at what I was hearing. Similar to you guys probably. Perfect, magical, natural vocal gymnastics....and mesmerising to watch. Listening to it now, I have chills all over again Some other recommendations. Paranoia Purple, Louie Bag....Live at Electric Lady. Her band are great too. You are going to love the unusual chords & changes she has, Johnny.😉 This October Sky live. She plays guitar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqrWomh9r7mLnMUsi=br-qXppkNaQRDX9w Boomerang. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3W0h3d5qNd5d6csi=JIAonpLEdxSsEaOr (The video for this is also worth a watch.)

[@Ciciggg]

Please react to Yebba Louie Bag live

[@irilumi]

Even my thoughts have become still - wow. I have a request to another artist she is South Korean who at the age of 11 was awarded the title of National Treasure in traditional music she is amazing - she started at 5 years old to be trained. Today she is branching out into music she is creating all her stuff is wow. She also sang a BTS song they are said to have cried when they heard her version which is the traditional style mix. Her name is SONG SOHEE 1- "Spring Day" and another is 2- "Tearful Dooman River" pure traditional - 불후의명곡 Immortal Songs 2 - 송소희 - 눈물 젖은 두만강.20180825, . 3- "Forest Spirit" ( her latest music ) 4- kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHyueqJqYpudnpo a medley of 7 traditional songs - Song Sohee is also a wonderful soccer player that does flying kicks of the ball into the goal net - there is a video out there that shows her doing that .I hope you get to this artist she will surprise you.
