I'm a 56 year old classic rocker, and I'm just mesmerized by Yebba. I discovered her a year or so ago and I've probably watched at least 100 Yebba reaction videos. Watch October Sky live.

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

I will add it to the list!

[@kurilisban6078]

Im not really a concert kind of person but yebba for me is the only exception i'll save up to get a front row ticket for her

[@stuartmccormick3977]

Chris Stapleton and St. Paul & The Broken Bones would also be incredible. Highly recommend them if you haven't heard much or any.

[@janisBFF]

The scratch in her voice makes her sound like a brass instrument. I think she’s one of the best vocalists out there. Very unique.

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Agree!

[@Joysings86]

To have so much restraint takes alot of control. I love that she doesn't push her voice too much in terms of projecting in her full chest voice. Her head voice is very strong, but she controls it so well. I just love this woman ❤

[@Jennynguevara]

I actually got to see her live recently in concert, & she still had the scratch in her voice in various parts, but i feel like she chooses to do it for a more stylistic effect. I love it personally, she has a beautiful voice and tone 🤍

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Wow Jenn!!! That is amazing!!!

[@toshafoxx]

The scratch was done on purpose.. there is so much strategy with this song it’s Absolutely AMAZING!!! Ugh! I love her!

[@kracine9582]

A scratch on her voice could just mean that ......THIS IS A LIVE RECORDING!!! I love that. I am glad you will do a reaction/review on all of the songs on the Tiny Desk Concert. Love your reactions.

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Thank you! Yes it is!!! Just that, a little catch nothing to write home about.

[@connieleslie9076]

I am worried that scratch is from her smoking😭. Her voice is such a gift and I hope she will stop so we can enjoy this incredible voice for years to come!

[@bentrunesollid9410]

@@connieleslie9076 Many singers have amazing, long, and quality vocal performance spanning decades despite smoking. Let the girl do whatever the fuck she wants is my take. I'm sure she knows the risks involved with smoking. :)

[@aryansigrid]

@@bentrunesollid9410 Well said!

[@doapsoap4873]

I really appreciate how long you let the song play before making comments. I hate when reactors cut in the middle of a phase or talks over it. You take a whole verse in before stopping to give relevant advice. Meanwhile the smiles you give while the music plays says everything that needs to be said lol. Great review. Yebba is AMAZING

[@Damone1987]

she purposefully adds the scratch in all her songs… it’s almost to sound like a saxophone

[@heavenwithin81]

THANK YOU! FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT!

[@stefanimelo4683]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@andydevid]

Yeah I love those little scratches... I don't like calling it imperfection, to be honest... But if we do call it that, I would say that it is the imperfections that make it perfect. Frankly, I think that if it were all "perfect" it would probably be too technical and not convey any emotion...

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

agree with you andy!

[@airalynsaudade483]

If you have not seen her live performance of My Mind.....you should. Soul searing depth.

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

I have definitely seen that performance. I did a react to it too. She is incredible 😍 ❤ 💖 👏

[@whaa3222]

The scratch was purposeful it’s a soulful thing. 😌. She is amazing., there are few artist who sings better llivethan on album.

[@sonicmistress]

Yeah, the 'distortion' is deliberate, all the 'effects' when she sings are deliberate, everything is precisely orchestrated inc as far as the Vowels they use to match the song, very precise and all done on purpose match and the BG Singers were just so in space, amazing! Look up My Mind....You'll never see a more emotional and real performance, a week after her Mother took her own life, very powerful and exteremely talented Singer, probably one of the finest in recent times.

[@rolandvarduhn]

Every Yebba reaction video deserves a comment and a thumbs up! Thank you.

[@tremendoushustle9548]

I believe that the “scratchiness” could also be intentional. You hear it on many of her live performances and it could be a tactic that she uses purposefully to imprint a unique signature on her songs.

[@dannywayne7070]

I think the distortion in her voice has something to do with her being a smoker BUT while i don’t think she should smoke, it doesn’t seem to affect her ability at the moment. I just hope it doesn’t affect her long-term

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

She smokes???!!! No nooooo

[@FauxieDaoJia]

Preferred the character of my voice when I was smoking tbh. Much prefer my health now I don't. This is art, not science, right? That's why early 00s Shiina Ringo, childhood esophageal atresia and later smoking habit and all, was such an incredible vocalist.

[@kandidBK27]

Yess. She began smoking heavily after the suicide of her mother. She’s also heavily influenced by gospel as well.

[@horakairanginicholas]

@@FauxieDaoJia honestly smoking helps with that textuuuure, it's just when you overdo it you start to lose the sweetness in your vocals

[@Cideo]

Her voice transport me to late 80s and 90s. Sprinkles of Taylor dayne and extra terrestrial.

[@HausofLane]

I just subscribed. I studied voice at community college and you remind me so much of my voice teacher. Absolutely loved her and loved your attitude! Absolutely love Yebba and can’t wait to see more of you talking about Yebba! 🧡🧡🧡 Much love!

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Wow Kolton thank you!!! Have you kept up with the singing?

[@HausofLane]

@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach hey there! 🥰 I sing everyday and continuously try to work on my technique. I don’t want to get rusty. I am now also teaching some other young voices how to sing and let me tell you, teaching to breathe from the diaphragm is a constant struggle!

[@chuckie102883]

Yebba is a vocal genius, the only analysis needed!

[@joellaraika6942]

I havebt stopped listening to this song since I heard it. Mesmerising!

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Me too!!! Yebba for the win!

[@KiatHuang]

I get the feeling Yebba is already one of the very few reverse crossover artists. A white artist she is deeply liked and treasured by mainstream black as well as mainstream white (and every other colour) audiences.

[@Memphis1986100]

Please check Jessie J - Sweet Talker (Acoustic) version. She is also underrated and would love to hear your view and break down of her vocals and singing techniques

[@Rosannasfriend]

Interesting reaction so far. I can’t wait to watch the other videos on this.

[@JustLeeza]

This is so cool to hear a technical vocalist describe what’s happening for those who just have natural singing ability. Yebba grew up in Christian church in America so she sings from talent and spirit. It’s almost like a Jazz ensemble in her vocal cords. But to hear that broken down is mind blowing. Thank you for sharing.

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Thanks LS for your comment. She is a fabulous singer! I have been teaching for so many years I think it is nice to hear how you can make these sounds if they don't come naturally to you ;)

[@diananunez7]

I love your analysis and your knowledge! I am so excited to have discovered and devoured every video I could find with Yebba the past year and a half! I am a professional singer and to hear you break down her performance is a master class in itself! She is the voice/ songwriter of a generation! Also, having worked a lot as a back-up singer myself, I am in awe of her back-up singers. Aren't they amazing? Happy new subscriber here!

[@sandraar3036]

Hola.✨ I don't know about music techniques but personally I think that scratch in hes voice makes the song sound more emotional and keeping the volume quiet makes the song more personal (with the audience). Btw, I did't know this singer a great discovery today🤩 Thanks 😊

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Hi Sandra! Me too! I think it does, we just need to be cautious about the amount and the feeling of the scratch. She is great right?

[@sandraar3036]

@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach Yes, excesses are never good, naturalness is always better 😌 ...could she hurt herself for doing it (scratch)? and yeah she's cool 😎✨

[@toniasmith4730]

I was just going to comment the same thing about her graspy voice that she has from time to time. I think it adds character to this song and I quite enjoy it. With that being said, I also know far too well that singing in that style can do some harsh damage on your vocal cords, so you have to be careful. In the end, great reaction, as always!! 💛

[@aryansigrid]

Abbey's, (aka Yebba), father was a southern preacher and her mother was a voice teacher. She grew up singing in church.

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Amazing! Thank you! I didn't know that.

[@AndrewKendall71]

Her ability to do all of that and it not sound like way too much of the gymnastics... it's quite a gift and a skill

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

She is just wonderful I agree.

[@bksl_guhr2ou9v.l]

I really enjoyed the video~ I can see her soft vocals ~love the coach's reaction~♡ Someday "Big Mama" Killing Voice" Dingo Please, I'm back after 9 years in the legendary 4-member female group. Vocal Harmony Crazy

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

I will do my best!

@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach😊 Thank you so much just for the words I heard that Dingo is generous with copyright. I look forward to the good luck of the coach's wonderful reaction. Have a fantastic day.💕

Up! They're insanely talented! They're THE vocal group!

[@SBurak-uc3vw]

She is so good

[@juanmonteiro7377]

I loved you reaction!

[@mikelombard21]

You're awesome! Only just discovered you, and your videos are awesome and genuine as well as concise and informative. Cant wait to check out more of your vids. Can you react to Matt Corby singing "Chains"? or "Miracle Love" or All fired up" or really anything. He is a virtuoso and there are live versions of most of his songs.

[@LRCollier]

MCorbs is a master!!

[@Tensen01]

Highly recommend listening to her October Sky(Live)

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

I will take a look thanks!

[@SICRE777]

yebba does not compete vocally, one could expect flights of fancy, yet what matters to her is what she delivers....beautiful music on personal words...her soul. your analyzes are so accurate... thank you

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Thank you Serge! I agree she is beautifully expressive.

[@racefan2k3]

I hate to interrupt your usual programming but.... you've left out a Jinjer performance you really should react to. Perennial - (Live at Wacken) 1. It's live (but the production quality is great...) 2. It's the end of their show at that venue. 3. It's a great song and 4. It's Tatiana.... You've hit two of the three "classic reactions" so it's time to round out the trio... lol Enjoy!

Listen to more Yebba. The "scratch" is 100% intentional.

[@rpaw8344]

Yebba✨❤️✨

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

🥰🥰

[@LafemmebearMusic]

She gets it all from the black folx, your welcome 🤷🏾‍♀️🐻🧡 she’s really dope but literally go to soooo many black church’s and jams where she would fit right vocally maybe have a hard time standing out just saying all the stuff she’s doing she learned from us look at the makeup of her band...

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

She is fab though right?!

[@Joysings86]

Aretha Franklin is one of her biggest influences. If you have some time, listen to her music to get a bit of perspective on that stylistic raspiness. Alot of gospel singers do this to their voices at will/intentionally.

[@Alexandra-jc5wc]

Please react to Elaine Duran singing emotions by Destiny's Child. Thanks 😊

[@kurilisban6078]

Can u also react to jaya and kz tandingans cover of "feeling good" i swear to god u are gonna love it

[@runejenssen5110]

A vocal coach like you,what do you think about Angelinas voice, maybe your life will change only one listening to her,yes thats true,hope you react to her,but warning in a good way,she is VERY addicted, a girl with thousand voices,the fans says, Angelinafan for many tears,welcome to Angelinas magical world.

I had a look at one of her songs already. I will definitely look at more though 🥰

react to Geoff Castellucci - Misty mountains :D

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

I saw that one come up on my feed. I'll take a look 👀

[@Jukau]

what i find dissapointing about here analysis is ..that she doesnt get that the scratch in yebbas voice is the most genius thing about her technique..she uses it exactly in the right moments..without this little scratch this performance would be slightly less perfect.. (perfect nonetheless).

[@nh-wq6sw]

the rasp is probably from the cigarettes she smokes since you left cause you said you had to fly

[@mannahattamusic]

Underrated comment

[@runejenssen5110]

could you react to Angelina jordan,Born to Die,when she was 12years old,Lana Del Ray original song, and this cover will blow you away,thanks,if you do that,you will get many subscribers,if you dare,a one of a kind young lady with over 140 songs on YT, covers and originals

Fabulous thanks Rune. She has a wonderful voice!
