YEBBA IS NEXT UP! | BOOMERANG | LETS GET TO THE VOCALS PLEASE!

[@gerardhern]

The track was inspired by a friend of Yebba’s who was in an unhealthy relationship. “As soon as she had a baby, her husband started beating her,” the singer-songwriter explains. “Because I’ve never been married and I’ve never had a kid, the best way I knew how to tell that story was to describe how I feel when I’m blindsided by a relationship, and the shock that comes with that. I walked into this space in my mind where I find the one I love in someone else’s bed, and my mind goes right to violence. It’s the kind of thing where you have so much comfortability with rage, you’re able to think through it logically-like: ‘If I shoot him in the stomach, I’m gonna have to pay his hospital bill, so fuck that. If I shoot him in the head, then I could be convicted of murder. So what am I supposed to do?’ It ends up being a picture of running with your rage, and just trusting that karma will come back around and take care of things for you.”

4 songs on her Tiny Desk Concert....Yebba like never before....4 incredible musicians....3 of the best back-up vocalists EVER....a beautiful string section...YOU HAVE TO HEAR IT!

[@VelvetGoldminer]

This reaction is hilarious/awesome! I feel you my man. Yebba is a way of life. She creates emotions like very few others

[@nadiagardencounty9371]

Ah shit, I got so nervous you weren't going to give this a proper chance. But that's what reactions are at their best! Nice work Stevie!!

[@mandexter956]

I fuck with this song! She always kills it and the way the band just jams out is just soooo good!

[@TonTonThePhenom]

Yebba Rule #1: Trust Yebba! So glad you came around on this piece!

[@sharibryant458]

Yebba song EVERGREEN she wrote for her mother is AMAZING, she has a black choir singing backup in a church setting. I just lost my mom and it really hits me different. 💜💜💜

[@nicktomato7]

i’m sorry to hear that. I hope music brings you some piece of healing and comfort

[@albamiranda28]

I can't wait to see your reaction to her Tiny Desk Concert, she is so versatile and soulful. She makes you constantly question what you think you know about her.

[@Pheonyxfree]

It’s reactions like this one, that got u GOAT STATUS! Just saw this video last week and my first thought was “hope Stevie does this one”….song sooo 🔥

[@kawadia]

I was chasing Yebba’s My Mind performance too. Then I realized I couldn’t keep Yebba in a box. She’s just too great of an artist. If you heard her Tiny Desk performance please share your opinion of the performance. If not, please check it out. Yebba, the BVGs and the Band were amazing!!!

[@christiehebert1363]

Who are the BVG’s?

[@allab33]

Tiny. Desk. Concert. She is amazing and her backup vocal crew..just as amazing. You won't be disappointed.

[@Listener215]

Never listen to this kind of music at all but damn they’re all great. Don’t forget the band killing it! It’s cool that thanks to channels like yours we all get to just appreciate music for what it is sort of as a collective group even if we wouldn’t normally hear it.

[@randempedestrian]

Bro you're hilarious with the interrupting and apologizing and saying you'll stop, but then you can't help yourself. Love it, ahahah.

[@meganlynn83]

DAMN! This girl has pipes! Holy shit! Thanks for letting me know, Stevie! Now I have another artist to learn about and sing her songs! If ONLY I could get over my MF'ing stage fright, I MAY make it on your Sangin Sundaze! Lol 🖤 Definitely gonna check more of her out!

[@kylecompton3305]

Tiny Desk concert for sure, which is on youtube, and is where she really finds her songwriting skill and her mature voice. A couple of other great performances, like everything else, are "Evergreen" and "Smoke". Love your reactions. THere will never be another "My Mind" but there is an entire catalog of greats building. INSANELY TALENTED, once in a generation!

[@zackd.4412]

Stevie:alright amma stop talking Also stevie:ayshhehshsvshshshs Stevie:lemme run it back I'll stop talking Also stevie: ik I said I'll stop talking buh fuck it lol

[@BrooklynDaDon1]

If you want the “My Mind” types of performances, watch her Tiny Desk Performance.

[@kathleenfountain8416]

She is incredible and one of a kind. Her song Evergreen is something I've listened to dozens of times and it hits me in my core every time.

[@tammyknight4150]

She's straight 🔥 and I approve of this message!

[@camarojai6832]

I think she wrote this song about my life. I’m feeling this one…she gets nasty. And that base line ❤️🔥

[@elisaa0290]

Lol! Loved the reaction!! I know the My Mind video is sooo amazing because like you said she was in her emotional state that you can feel it. This is another great performance but hits in a different way. She has a amazing voice!!

[@gypsymarie8567]

Lol back to watch your reaction again. You're funny. "I know I said I wasn't gonna talk but I cant." and "You know how they smile when they're mad. That means they're crazy." 🤣🤣🤣

[@emma-leefortune8331]

Everybody's hung up on every single lyric. I find Yebba's lyrical composition is always looked at compared to the plain sh* that a lot of artists put out. Yebba is pure fire because of vocal capabilities, she's different because of her lyrics and maan she's been killing it with these musicians. I mean KILLIN it.

[@kathrynstafford7099]

"EVERGREEN", a song done in a church is very good. Her mother committed suicide a short time after " MY MIND". One of the songs in the TINY DESK CONCERT is about her. There is also a song, October Sky, and she did a song with Ed Sheehan.

[@rommelgoodie]

Stevie go get that TINY DESK JOINT! You won't regret it!!!!!!!!!

[@Chris-dt8ru]

She's so beautiful and a great artist bruh. Good shit

[@Cookie-Baby]

My Mind was more somber I feel, Boomerang is some angry, crazy.. waiting to exhale type shit 😂 I’m here for all of it. 🤪

[@lilithajezile4536]

I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction. You truly get her. As A Capricorn myself, I totally get her crazy, because I am like that too. She’s a riot’ I’m so impressed by this woman!

[@kylecompton3305]

You are FIRE!

[@cjhenry0101]

Her new album is dope!!!

[@aggy3433]

If you’re wanting something similar to my mind, ABSOLUTELY recommend her tiny desk concert!!

[@missgudz.]

You’ve gotta watch her live performance of October Sky and her sing Stand on her Tiny Desk Concert!!

[@tjkoko9349]

Great reaction, as usual. If you want an emotional Yebba song, listen to the last song on her Dawn album. It's called Purple Paranoia. It's more subtle than My Mind, but just as moving. October Sky is also very emotional. The whole album is 🔥.

[@lauradehart8182]

I love YEBBA!! I have the exact same problem as you, Stevie. That “My Mind” performance is CRAZY GOOD!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻

[@patriciadavis1393]

Exactly that performance of her singing my mind was a once in a lifetime performance because a lot of emotional stuff was going on at the time

[@TheNamelessFilm]

I can't even listen or watch it on a good day cause it's TOO EMOTIONAL!!!

[@tiajames4007]

I love it❤ she can't do wrong!!!

[@rhandabg]

But seriously, you are an awesome fan and Yebba reactor! The excitement and joy on your face is infectious. Really enjoyed watching your reaction a few times now and we probably watch it a few times more. Keep up the great work!

[@jamesliggins891]

watch yebba's recent tiny desk, it's pretty incredible

[@cesheph]

You talked all that stuff in the beginning then you said okay let me rewind. 🤣🤣🤣 when she hit those notes your face was off like all of ours for she hit those notes 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@airalynsaudade483]

I agree. It is hard to top My Mind. But please checkout Evergreen. She sang it for her mother. You will love it.

[@cesheph]

I read that she wrote this song for a friend of hers she helped get out of an abusive relationship

[@ryangainey1402]

I saw that other reaction of My Mind that you referred to… was thinking the same thing… you can’t apply technicality to raw emotion.

[@tobygarton9494]

Great reaction stevie im always stopping by even on some different type content

[@be06083]

Now seeing this vid is "old", but her Paranoia Purple (Live at Electric Lady) is so beautiful! Last song on the album about her mother. My Mind will always have a special part in my heart, but it was special too, when I heard Paranoia Purple when the album dropped,

[@galenodel3283]

Love your honesty man best reaction ever

[@mamat8184]

I love the sincerity of your reactions. Thank you.

[@criketyvonricket3252]

[@maryfinnegan4198]

Evergreen. Onvest in the quality of Yebbas pipes man. So good you get EMOTIONALLY INVOLVED

[@12Squared]

I'mma go dig in your videos... the album Dawn is out, it's the whole process of healing from a bad relationship, mama's suicide and all the unpacking of that plus finding a glimpse of future fame. It's a tough listen and she asked us all to listen top to bottom of the album once. The trick for her is going to be getting out from under this emotional bomb so that she can just shine... :D Thank you for letting her talk to you in this new voice, man. I love the look on your face when the shoe dropped and you felt this new emotion from her.

[@holliejayde1096]

Her tiny desk performance is gorgeous

[@terriertz5134]

Yebba has some seriously great songs. You should listen to the duet with her & Clark Beckham doing the cover of John Mayer's song Gravity and her song Evergreen. I like your reactions since you actually focus on the lyrics. Thanks.

[@emmathepaperquiller4263]

I know what you mean. It’s hard to be as satisfied with her performances these days after being so moved emotionally like she did with My Mind. I can’t imagine it feels good to her though to sing that raw though. I bet her shower singing is the only closest thing to that performance, and I guess we’ll never hear that lol

[@anissat-tech]

Not shower, but even better: stairwell singing (!) Lookup Yebba and Peter Collins!

[@michelevk569]

100% with you on My Mind being the benchmark. The problem is ‘the music industry.’ It’s all too much. Strip it back - that is Yebba’s Power. Too many players dilute the power, Yebba gets lost in the mix. Don’t get me wrong, she’s a Sanger! But, this is more Movie Soundtrack than the raw passion of the singer with her guitarist. My Mind is up there with Nina Simone’s performance at Ronnie Scott’s in London of ‘For A While.’ Give that a listen...prepare to be punched in the throat.

Man, "My Mind" is going to be remembered in two thousand years. It's Biblical. She's got something special going on in her. It's all good, if it's all Yebba.

[@Citizenesse8]

I may know the exact reaction that you're talking about to the song My Mind. That so-called vocal coach sniped on Yebba's clothing, her vocal choices, and she honestly thought that she had some suggestions to improve that performance. She received so many comments roundly and unambiguously telling her exactly where to step and what to step into that I'm surprised she kept it posted. I don't remember what I wrote but I think I said something along the lines of if it was her (vocal coach) desire to be bland, uninspired, to have unwavering focus on the wrong things as well as having all of the life and honed technique "coached" out of her voice then she would have achieved her goal. On top of that, she had no place critiquing her clothing.
