Coko is THE definitive VOICE of the 90s to me. That tone and delivery influenced SO many other singers

Come on! they are the ultimate girl group, they look good and sound great and Coko...she doesn't get enough credit for being one of the greatest sopranos.

Facts 💯

[@latashab-james1495]

I dont know what ypu talkin bout but huni listen, they look great and sound even better! Let them sing their song how they want to. Coko can sing her butt off. Her voice takes me back to the 90's, very nostalgic. Coko is definitely one of my top 3 singers of all time. Love love love SWV.

[@garfieldharrison510]

Exactly, I contribute that too colorism. Coko is all that . She’s not a real personality. But, that’s okay . Her voice is impeccable.

[@garfieldharrison510]

@@naturalbby1722 why do we need her to be a personality. I want her to be that amazing singer that she know is,and leave the residue for the connivers. Notice the word Con.

[@MsMaven-pk7si]

Coko taught a vocal master class in this tiny desk….

[@sambob8651]

They sound just like the recordings. SWV really deserve their flowers!

[@michaellemar2904]

Yes they fiya🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ab-zg8pt]

I KNEW the audience (including us watching from home) would be singing along for 'Weak'

[@tylerhackner9731]

Everybody would and did! It’s a classic!

[@atlantabrooklyngal]

Before they got their first word out, my mouth was wide open leading them into the song. I was ready!

This Tiny Desk was amazing. Lele's voice is distinct and I can always hear it. Taj always holding it down with her part - a singer!! And Ms. Coko made some intentional choices with her phrasing and other choices with moving her voice that were masterful. OOOOOWEEEEE!!!

[@ladytinag4276]

Thank you for mentioning Lele & Taj. I never liked that they were underestimated. Yes, Coko is the distinct lead but they definitely can hold their own. After all, the group was Lele’s vision.

[@0xTRellyx0]

I must say that Coko is on of my favorite vocalists.

[@realhousewivesandhusofatl7679]

I love that Coco's son was in on this concert!!!

[@sammy-ly5tq]

Thought I was the only one that peeped that

[@delle3955]

Yes I loved that even more!❤

[@joiil4814]

Me too!! That duet they did was everything!

[@justinblvd]

Coko SINGS DOWWWNNNNNN!! LeLee and Taj always rounding out that beautiful harmony 🔥 SWV will always be famous!

[@robyn3976]

The audience was on point. I love it. It's a testament of SWV's influence.

[@tiamonique]

Love that Coco has her son with her, doing backgrounds and a solo!

[@urielsmith3248]

I needed them to sing use your heart for taj I need them to sing if only u knew for lelee and the other songs are coco but them are my songs I love to hear them have their moments on cause iykyk lelee and taj do they thing on both songs that I mentioned

[@curtmagee]

Those background vocals and harmonies were amazing! CoCo is a goat

[@amethyst3139]

Fun fact one of the background singers is Coko' s younger son Jayye. His looks and vocals are very similar to hers

[@ladytinag4276]

Definitely

[@Wc7823]

They always sound so wonderful together.

[@78vette11]

THISsss…concert got me through a rough commute thru the DC Metro area. These ladies are pure perfection. Ms Coko singing lead, the backup, the band, and Coko’s son🔥

[@pauladell2285]

COKO IS THE VOICE OF THE 90'S WITH RAW NATURALLY TALENT!!!!!!! DISTINCT VOCALS!!!!!!! SWV FOREVER!!!!!!! ❤🎶🎵🙌🏾✨️🤌🏾🌎🌏🌍💪🏾❤️🌈🏳️‍🌈❤️💯💯💯💯

[@midnitehour1]

That riff @ 5:02 was so Dorinda. I know y’all hear it? 😌

[@seasonedsofisticate1901]

She gets it from her mother as well.

[@-__Maccc__-]

I’m not a musician but I know good music. I’ve only seen like two or three of your videos, but this is really dope to see you break down videos this way with the knowledge and talent to explain what folks are intentionally doing with their voices.

[@prestonbradshaw5137]

Coko vocals never fail

[@thelightseeker94]

If the crowd wasn't locked in here It'd be a tragedy. SS doubledouble UU V!!

[@afeshiabullen6117]

The ladies were phenomenal. I love how Coko somehow maintains her Bronx accent with the church hardiness of her voice.

[@zthompson4830]

It’s her son being a bg singer I love 😫😫

[@MrExplor80]

This was amazing, my only complaint is the vocal mics should of been turned up a bit more, cause the live instruments are louder and you can miss some of the nuances and style choses they made with runs/riffs if you’re not keen or watching for them… they get lost in sound in a few places. But still stellar performance from one of my all time fav girl groups.

[@williewynn9816]

Agreed

[@eleeveeayees3425]

The instruments too loud.

[@lotusmystichaven]

I got my life on their tiny desk concert, the background singers, proud of Jalen like he is my nephew. Taj gave us everything as a secondary singer, she showed up and ate the mic up

[@vickisudler]

BaBy, this mini concert had me singing for at least an hour repeat repeat repeat repeat 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ❤ SMIPLY AWESOME ❤

[@ladytinag4276]

The harmonies consistently tight throughout the entire performance. SWV are and have always been a bad a$$ group!

[@tylerhackner9731]

Timeless catalog

[@cortezdoaty2907]

Coko SANG on all of em but that Rain got me weak in the knees❤ Best Female Vocal Performance 🎉❤ SWV one of the best

[@lawandastacy3163]

The crowd definitely passed the vibe check ❤❤❤

[@VizionHeiry]

Jaron you should make the polyphonic segment of this vocal analysis into a short. And add the words onto the short when you describe the 3 sections. Also add in what the BGV are doing as well. Oh and I'm happy you put it out so quick! Not Jaron delivering same day like Amazon!

[@EvalynElston]

Jaron....you are quick❤

[@kimberlyc1511]

I couldn't wait for SWV at Tiny Desk! They were so good..and I love the harmony. I didn't want it to end. 🥰🥰🎵🎶🎶👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Justyna_N]

Weak takes me back to junior high. They sound the same❤

[@ladytinag4276]

Y’all ain’t gone make me feel like I was the only one Coach Jaron had scrunching their face when he broke out with the fancy term of “polyphonic”. I wasn’t ashamed to google it. Here y’all go 😂😂😂. producing many sounds simultaneously; many-voiced.

[@jayla8301]

I was waiting on your video analysis!!!

[@jmlegrairstudio]

I couldn’t get to it fast enough 🤭🫶🏾

[@lboogs5]

Coko is a superstar real talk! Excellent analysis

[@Sharday253]

Coko has always been great but she really showed the way shes intentional with the choices she makes. Awww chefs kiss!

[@debracox3020]

Coko's voice was just soaring I'm still can't get over it 😮

[@Amberlovesu541]

This performance got me all in my feels lol and I loved seeing Coco’s son on the background vocals 😊

[@DuskyJewel]

SWV shines when they are live. Their inherent talent shows through and the richness of their catalog comes out. I think I love them even more now.

[@nonkolo_faith]

Coko still sings the SAME after all this time, in fact, even better! Them pipes are EVERLASTING and she doesn't get enough recognition!!! ❤❤❤ and then her son too is an amazing vocalist... c'mon generational talent and wealth!

[@LowkeyMikeyyy]

Jaronnnnnnn! Right on time!! Lol 🥰🥳

[@aishafryson5543]

Coko gave us CHURCH with the song "WEAK." So very churchy in the 90s. So beautiful!

[@loyanadale903]

SWV gave me my life. It was a whole sing-a-long in my car. I was a little off key, but still.😊 THEY SOUND GREAT AFTER DECADES & shout out to Jalen (CoCo's son) he is awesome. That soft T was so smooth as this song was too & her maturity singing Rain Down On Me is bone chilling. One of my favorite Tiny Desk Concerts. And the back ground singers diiiiid that. WOWWWWWWW

[@loyanadale903]

CoCo's adlibs on Weak is Sssssssssssick. How does she do that. WOWWWWWWW. She makes you feel the emotions of this song without us even knowing.

[@lionheart4440]

You’re amazing. I love your videos. I’m gonna buy that hoodie and don’t we all just love SWV.

[@joiil4814]

My tv is on 100!! I watched and watched and sang and sang. Now I’m watching you (again) 😍😍!

Coko the most capable female singer of the New jack swing era.a soprano that uses vocal colors over range.

I love how they harmonize Top Coko Middle Taj Bottom LeLee😩

[@TheSeeking2know]

I’ve always been a fan of how they had interesting chords in their music while singing mostly easy-to-follow melody in the verses. Of course with the vocal harmony work going in between those two layers.

[@seasonedsofisticate1901]

Yes…their vocals together mesh so well.

[@jemseed]

Hey Jaron I know your a master teacher/break down king. But the part from 17:12 where the crowd jumped in was magical I only realised it when you pointed it out i.e how there were 3 parts going on Coko, The SWA girls/back up singers and the crowd! man you put my ears on that one 🙌🏾

Great performance. I really wished they would've done "Use Your Heart"!!

[@claudiasanders4481]

Y'all look and sound amazing ❤🎉

[@AuthorToriLynn]

Her son was singing, You're always on my mind.

[@verdean11]

This was amazing!! Such great voices! For some reason this reminded me though: We need some Maxwell analysis. Not This Woman's Work, falsetto Maxwell, but just Maxwell in general. That man sang with such articulation, he embodied every note he sang. So much air too, words just flew out his mouth in such a smooth way. And his vibrato? Hmmmm

[@lamarrkendelltime]

I was watching this yesterday and was hoping you did a reaction and here we are now ❤

[@studyblkacting]

Geesh you didn't even let the tiny desk breathe. Glad I got to watch it live. What an amazing master class they gave. And they didn't even sing all their hits.

[@Bobbytinomynau]

Am I the only one who thinks Coko's vibrato is reminiscent of KCS?😍

[@naturalbby1722]

YESSSS!! But she reminds me a lot like Dorinda

[@cebrinachandler1708]

Can you just let them sing 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@victoriaallen3753]

Loved the way you unpacked this performance, Jeron. And a big thank you to tiny desk and swv for making this finally happen! So glad Coco's voice was sustained through the years!

[@jtf-peacekeepers]

Love your approach on these analysis. If possible, I recommend "A brand new day" from "Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation".

[@kaynobee22]

I would love for you to do Ambre’s tiny desk . My top of all time are Durand , Ambre , Tank & the bangas , Tyler the creator and recently willow . I think you would absolutely adore Ambre . She has that Jhene aiko softness with southern Soul .
