Yebba - Distance

[@matrix2297]

Yebba's voice is ANOINTED. She doesn't sing she soars. This rendition is perfection!

[@taryngivan1913]

👏🏽

[@Blackamoor711]

Yes she has a black women’s singing voice

[@GarryWright-t6p]

I can not stop listening to this song. I need Jesus to help me with this addiction.

[@cablemanxxx2109]

This performance is flawless and that includes the backup singers too

[@ayannasmith6243]

Is it just me, or do those background singers have me swimming in euphoria?!🥰

I cannot count the times I've watched this performance. It's perfection. The arrangement, background singers, her voice....every single detail.

Stevie Wonder chords

The mood it sets you in❤❤

[@sunshinepeace]

I fucking loveeee this song, when i first heard it I thought she was black, not that it matters at all but my gosh! Her voice touches my soul! Sis has SOOOUL

[@japplewhite1986]

I thought the same at first lol. Another music artist whom has soul and i thought at the beginning as well is Lindsey Webster. Check her out "Where U wanna Go"

[@ACCOMPLISHEDSHEIS]

I assumed it was a black male artist. Not bad.

[@kamronwashington]

I mean her main inspiration is a group of black women so it's not bad to think that

[@EdiDrums]

Thanks for the Lindsey Webster suggestion. New to me. I found it many things that Yebba is not - sung with quite some effort, apparently affected, vocally fried ... but I nevertheless appreciated the introduction.

[@MissDebonairre]

JAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The audacity for her to just sit there and kill this song like that.

[@jadehackett9770]

This will now forever be Issa and Lawrence's song for me. I hope they played this in their imaginary wedding first dance. #insecureblues

HBO Insecure. Thanks for introducing us to great music and artists. What a beautiful song.😊👏

[@Rhythm973]

I can hear Whitney singing this. Yebba’s ear and influence are insane!

[@cr3413]

This is much more Minnie Riperton-oriented and her intricate vocal flourishes are more reminiscent of Mariah.

[@taanya03]

She’s named the Clark Sisters as her inspiration. Definitely hear Karen’s influence. Regardless it’s flawless. Beautiful voice.

[@ericjohnson8844]

Sounds like Cece Winans

[@jigglejello]

It's Keke Wyatt and Jasmine Sullivan for me

[@Rhythm973]

its like jill scott mixed with Minnie ripperton. Incredible

[@daneillefoster-russell1656]

This work has haunted me for months now. It actually triggered a panic attack/emotional break recently. It is too beautiful and too haunting especially the first few notes; and it sends me into an existential spiral. I stopped listening for a long time and only just started trying listening to it again.
