There is no studio version to this song. This was the first and last time she performed this song. She said she will not sing it again because it was so sacred to her after her mother passed. Love her! ❤

Every note, every rasp, every tone, every nuance was carefully chosen. She has 100% control of her incredible instrument. She’s amazing.

Let me tell you something about Yebba. You find a video of hers not knowing who she is at all, and by the end of that same day you’ve seen everything Yebba has to offer on the internet. She’s incredible.

This pain is so real. It hurts second hand because it is just truth

Another incredible experience can be enjoyed in her duet cover of "Gravity" with Clark Beckham... they absolutely murder it! Her song "Evergreen" is really good, too.

This woman is incredible she popped up in my KZfaq feed and I was like who the hell is this. I haven’t stopped listening since.

I cry every single time I see this performance. Absolutely raw & vulnerable! It always blows me away how calm the audience seems. I'd be losing MY Mind!

Her Tiny Desk set is remarkable as well. I first heard Yebba on the collaboration she did with James Francies on the song "My Day Will Come".

Welcome to the Yebba rabbit hole! Please listen to her Tiny Desk concert. You won't be able to stop listening to her..

I catch myself holding my breath when I listen to this song!

One of the greatest vocal performances I ever saw

That is one of the most Emotional performances I have EVER seen ,she is a GREAT Artist AMAZING

You can hear the utter anguish in her voice

She is singing her heart out… and singing her emotions and also controlling her voice… it’s incredible ❤❤❤

Evergreen is the first time she was able to go back to a church after her mother committed suicide. That's an amazing song too. But everything she does is masterful. Yebba was the name her mother called her, which is Abbey backwards. Yebba was raised in West Memphis in the Evangelical church where her father is pastor. She was leader of the Praise and Worship group, which influences her singing, as do the blues, gospel, and other influences.

There is no studio version. This was the first time she performed this and she captured lightning in a bottle. And even subsequent live versions are nowhere near as good as this. I also think it would be exhausting to repeatedly access the raw naked emotional vulnerability that fuelled this performance. There's a ton of great live performances from Yebba on KZfaq. Her Tiny Desk concert (of 4 songs) is outstanding. You should also check out live performances of Evergreen, Boomerang, Gravity (with Clark Beckham) and Smoke (with Luke Levenson) and various songs performed live at Electric Lady. TBH her studio recordings are mostly inferior to her live performances.

Lmao at your reaction that was me too when I first heard her 🤣🤣🤣 It makes sense because honestly nowadays you just don’t hear great singers like this you really don’t there’s so much technology that covers people but this girl can actually sing so then you put technology on top of that and it’s mine blowing

I just want to know how the guitarist is holding it together and not ballin his eyes out 😆

Thanks for this. ❤️🙏 Her live performances are where its at. Check them all out, you won't regret it. I am literally addicted to her voice.

She is amazinggggg!!!! Omg her live performance of paranoia purple was another Great one!!

There should be a rule to reacting to this video that you can't cheat (lol) and stop the video at different points. You need to watch it from start to finish because it's so intense! One of the best ever performances by a singer-songwriter ever! Great reaction by the way:)

Yes please listen to her tiny desk, it's great. Her live performances are amazing. "Boomerang" (live) is a short treat. Someone commented that she's kind of a cross between Jazmine Sullivan and Adele.

ALWAYS watch her LIVE! THANK YOU!!!!!

Your reaction is my absolute favorite so far. Yebba is an amazing talent who sings from her soul. That is hard to find anymore.

You sir reacted correctly 😌 I dead ass thought my video paused at 3:18 🤣

May I say I absolutely loved your reaction? Very authentic. Thank you.

Lmfao she’s like that’s that at the end like ok ciao I just tore everyone’s heart out their chest peace ✌🏻

Congratulations on the success of your channel!!! OMG! On the road to 100K! I subscribed not only because your reaction was spot on but I want to see you get to 100k! I love to see it! Keep growing! 🥂

POLO, ngl, when you said you can hear her feelings coming through her vocal chords, That hit different.

She’s insane in this! Not heard a better live vocal

Oh yeah this one crazy. Her new joint boomerang live is good too, different vibes but still powerful. Check out lady leshurr, one of the most talented charismatic mc’s in the game, start with black panther got the missy cosign

Yebba stated that she would never perform this song again. It was given by Yebba to the world. She wanted us to have it. She has written and sing quite a few songs. One I love is called October Sky, it's about her mother. My fave version of it is where she sings it in a field along with a male guitarist, she plays guitar.too in the video. She has incredible range, incredible power, and when she sings she is so in tune with the instruments playing along with her. She is absolutely outstanding, and a real life hidden gem. Thank you for playing her song. You will not find a studio version of it, as I said, this is the one and only recording of it. God bless you. Happy New Year!

Incredibly sad fact a month after this performance and on the cusp of her major breakthrough in the music industry her mother committed suicide. Which kind of put the breaks on her career for a few years but she’s back with a vengeance now and the last couple years. Ok so, one major thing about Yebba is as amazing as her studio versions of her songs are, her live performances are on a whole other level, I pretty much only listen to her live recording now. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you give these Yebba live performances a reaction : - Boomerang- Yebba - October sky’s- Yebba (this one is about a memory she has of her mother when her and her brother were kids and about her grief because her mother committed suicide in October 2016) - Her tiny desk concert is out of this world amazing and has 4 songs

When I first heard this girl this song blew my mind I mean I listen to it everyday man the tone and the vocals I mean the songs about love right it's a love song but man you ain't lying that's a powerful voice right there beautiful beautiful

Yebba is one of the best singers out there! Definitely check out her new album and her NPR concert also!

This performance is so moving ... Raw and powerful .

I just love this song ❤

Drake wasn't the first to feature her. She has done duets with Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran on their albums too. She only just released her first album a few months ago (Dawn) and I suggest you listen and react to her Tiny Desk Concert which is 4 live cuts from that album. It is FIRE. Also, the live versions of Boomerang, October Sky, Louie Bag and Age of Worry - some of my favorites.

She's awesome.... As far as I know, there isn't a studio version of this song. Her song October Sky is also really good. Dedicated to her late mother. A mark of a true musical artist is that live is always better than studio. More emotion is poured into a live performance and Yebba pours it on thick. Check out her live stuff on her NPR tiny desk concert and her Live from Electric Lady studios videos where she has quest love playing drums for her.

First off, I LOVE YEBBA! Never have I experienced someone with such passion as she. I have followed her for quite some time now and never have I been disappointed. I am a new subscriber just based on the respect and authenticity of your reaction to Yebba. Great job! Not sure if you have ever heard of Teddy Swims but he has many, many good songs. You should listen to him sing I can't make you love me and Blowin Smoke. I could go on an on about Teddy Swims but just know, he will not disappoint. I also recommend Allen Stone Consider me and also Give you Blue. Enjoy!

This makes me want to sing again. I’m no where near as good as Yebba but I used to sing with that much passion and I lost it. :( beautiful song!!!

Yebba is called Abbey Smith and she changed her name backwards in memory of her late mother. Beautiful song

Yebba is stifled in the studio, imo … her live performances are always superior

Beautiful Reaction! Well Done Sir.

I wasn’t ready -understatement of the year lol

I don’t know how you came across my feed months ago but I subscribed then and tonight I am the happiest I did. This woman is amazing and I never would’ve seen her had it not been for you. Thank you for posting these videos. ❤

OMG she had me grieving for the 2 men I’ve loved my entire lifetime. My goodness the control and pain all at the same time is chilling to me. I’m still reeling from this performance. I feel like my knees may buckle. This is incredible

she's awesome. amazing reaction. i think ud really enjoy postmodern jukebox doing the song 'creep'. chills!

Polo was going back listening to old recordings of your this Yebba cut is unbelievable. Thanks so much.

I believe that this is the only version of "My Mind" that is available.

Yebba has worked hard maintaining control over her career. After her mom passed, she knew she had to work through it with song. Apple Music produced a song for her, Evergreen, that got a lot of music producers’ attention. However, they wanted her to change her sound and move away from the sadder songs about her feelings about her mom. But Yebba declined and instead did collabs with other artists while she wrote and recorded the way she wanted to do it. One of her songs, Louie Bag, was written after she was told by music labels that she would be a big star (and could buy all the Louis Vuitton bags she wanted) if she would just get past the death of her mom. Her journey has been slow but it’s been on her terms. This year, she opened for John Mayer. She also has some live performances at The Electric Lady in which Pino Paladino played bass. Pino also plays bass for John Mayer a lot and did so on this latest tour. She’s making a lot of traction right now!

I have never heard of this artist before - thanks for spotlighting her!! ❤

been on repeat all week for me.. going through a similar situation and it's helping me grieve..

Check out Gravity n Evergreen too, it's equally mindblowing.

She's got that chill factor 4 sure

They play this version on Amazon. And I 1st heard of her on a Sam Smith song. I love her, she's great!!

How deep is your love and how much can the heart take I think are my fav

Evergreen the video. Boomerang live. Gravity duet with Clark Beckham.

Follow this song with her song boomerang six years later. Love her.

Yebba - Evergreen

Yebba "smoke" great song

Check out Boomerang live version...duet w Clark Beckham Gravity...duet w Ed sheeran Best Part of Me...duet w PJ Morton how deep is your love

Wow.

Incredible vocalist, incredible song. Mind-blowing! You need to check out Beth Hart live, "Caught Out in the Rain" is a good start. Portishead is another one that is good live. Diverse female artists but powerful none the less. Ms Janis Joplin live is amazing as well. Yebba is one of my current favorites right now no doubt. Happy reacting!!!

There is no studio version! This was one and done!

You HAVE to react to her Tiny Desk Concert, i promise you will truly enjoy it!

Great reaction

yep, on repeat

ohhhh and boomeranggggg

Gravity! Tiny Desk! Evergreen! Age of Worry!

You gotta do Yebba Smith & Clark Beckham - Gravity (John Mayer Cover)

She wrote another song for her mother called Evergreen. Beautiful song.

❤

Her Mom had passed away around that time. Yebba is the truth!

Yes you are right when o watch her even comment on between sets I get the sense she has been through some kind of emotional trauma. Honestly most artists have been through some ish. They say that a good many bi polar people tend to move toward the arts which is very true . It’s a place where they have more freedom because the arts are about living and striving outside the box. There is also a lot of drug use with artists mostly due to self medicating because they are undiagnosed especially back in the day. Nowadays we are more educated about this but great artists like Nina Simone really suffered greatly. Back in the day

This hits every time, i haven't gotten thru once without getting choked up. Larry of the Les Twins has an amazing powerful freestyle dance to this. You need to check that out.

I put a spell on you, Angelina Jordan. When she was 9 years old. She actually won Norway's got talent when she's was 6 or 7.

Great reaction to an amazing performance. I’m here to encourage you to check out Yebba’s collaboration with Clark Beckham, singing Gravity. It’s phenomenal!

I love her song stand

What the...what the....whaattt? Exactly.

Louie bag is my favorite right now, but the live version

You have to watch her latest tiny desk concert

Listen to "Gravity" by her and Clark Beckham also "Evergreen" by her is amazing

I loved your reaction. I adore YEBBA and there is no one quite like her. I recommend you react to her song Evergreen; there is an MV. She has also done a Tiny Desk Performance you could check out. I would also love to see your reaction to BTS - Black Swan. Thank you 💜

I have been thinking of how to approach you on this particular artist and video, first of all I did a search on your channel, and you have not reacted to this artist, and particularly this performance. Me personally, this particular video performance had an effect on my life, I can't say that about every video I have listened to, this will be your own personal experience, something out of this world is coming through Diana as she performs this song, it grabs you and will not let you go, I'm saying these few words to get your attention, I am not the only person to have this particular video performance change their lives. Some advice while watching and listening to this video, do not take your eyes off her, keep your eyes fixed to the screen while playing the video, watch every inflection of emotion and feeling coming through her, another thing listen very carefully to her voice, it will cut to your soul like a razor blade, and last of all open your soul to her voice and let it possess you completely, and watch what happens to you when you reach the end of this mesmerizing performance by Diana Navarro. Don't be concerned that the song is in Spanish, just listen and feel. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hseJqrt_3q_Jf5c.html Currently 2,445,210 views

WOW is right. Check out Evergreen and October Sky (live)

I would be shocked if she didn’t have music in her familiar background. You don’t. Just song like this unless you have that subliminal learning around you. Like Mariah and her mother being an opera singer. I would love to know her background

I haven't listened to Yebba for a while so thank you for this reaction. This is one of my favorites. I found your channel a couple weeks ago and really enjoy your reactions. You seem knowledgeable about rap and music. Here are a few of my favorites from Yebba. Clark Beckham - Gravity feat. Yebba by John Mayer kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l5-Kksml1NDZf2g.html YEBBA: Evergreen (Official Music Video) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Ztxioct-ttPSpHk.html "Smoke" by Luke Levenson ft.

What does it mean when she says " I sure won't stay, but I'll be damn if I ever ain't I'm leaving" @9:47

She blends Jasmine Sullivan and Adele

Here's your list, lol! Gravity by Clark Beckham Evergreen (video) October Sky Boomerang Tiny Desk concert How Much Can a Heart Take with Lucky Daye which is nominated for a Grammy this year. And always do the live versions.

Check out Yebba and Lucky Daye!!! 🔥

You should react to Gravity with Yebba and Clark Beckham🔥 John Mayer song

What? I can’t believe you just asked yourself if she has other songs😂 😂 anyway you should listen to Distance, don’t leave me lonely and paranoia purple😊😊😊

You should check out her Evergreen video she did with apple music. She wrote it for her mom after her suicide.

OH REACT TO HER DUET WITH CLARK BECKHAM!

She is wailing..

check out Evergreen, a song for her mom.

Her most recent tiny desk is amazing and also also Evergreen which is a song written for her mother who passed because of suicide and also you can listen to gravity she's featured on it with Clark Beckham that's an amazing amazing version of John Mayer's song gravity And also you should look up smoke look she's crazy amazing though everything she does I've never Listen to anything I've disliked of hers

You know I'd preferred live performances where you actually can see how talented someone is there's no hiding behind auto tune. I follow you and a few other people that react and and you all react different to this song and to this song and I have to say you have Is a very kind face. I am very much into Faces they say eyes Are the windows to the soul but I think it's the face
