Her lives are always so much crisp and better. It’s like you cannot bottle up all that magic in a recording!

My Mind from SoFar was Yebba's breakout performance. About a week after she performed that song she lost her mother to suicide. This stopped her career for 2yrs and then Covid hit, further putting the breaks on. She then release Dawn, a double meaning. It stood for her Mother, Dawn, and a new dawn in her life. This tiny desk is all songs from the Dawn Album. Another great thing about Yebba is no two live performances are the same. She is always evolving and experimenting with her music.

These versions are better than her studio versions. My opinion of course. She always sounds good tho. 🎶🔥❤️

I love Yebba, she has been on repeat for a couple of years. 😭😅 Listen to her live performance with Lucky Daye - How much can a heart take. But also her live performances of One more Smile and Paranoia Purple, the latter being the most sad. She is amazing. ❤️

This girl has a Grammy for her duet with PJ Morton “How Deep is Your Love”, a Bee Gees cover. That's waaayyy before that Drake's album interlude.

Yebba is amazing and one of those artists who you have to just hear live. Her live performances eat her recorded version because they're always different.

I love how in-tune you are with what youre listening to. Spot-on points you made throughout this vid. This was a virtually perfect live performance from start to finish from one of the greatest vocalist of our generation. Awesome reaction. Subscribed. 🙏🏽👍🏼

She grew up in the church. Singing. Definite soul!

I had saved "My Mind" when I heard it. That song made me cry like a baby!!!!! Yebba is something else. Her voice is AMAZING!!! Any and everytime I listen to it I just break down crying. These songs on this video I haven't heard before. And they are spectacular. I haven't been able to find music here in the South like I used to find in NYC. And the radio stations down here don't play a LOT of the music I'd heard in NY. Pretty sad I'd say.

I comment this all the time, but i'm baffled why she isn't more well known.

Other songs I like by Yebba are : Evergreen, Louie Bag, Love Came Down, and Far Away.

I am late to the comment party. Yebba is Abby backwards. Yebba was her Mother’s nickname for her. Her dad is a pastor and her mother was a science teacher. Sadly, her mother took her life. Yebba grew up in the Church in West Helena, Arkansas.

She is a vocal Beast! I think because she grew up in the church (PK) that her voice naturally gravitates towards R&B/Soul.

so glad to see you watched this and loved it! i love her music too it sounds like you’re feeling the sad energy there, and yebba sure knows how to sing grief and pain - but also hope and love too! she has been through some horrors and she writes openly about that personally, i’d suggest watching evergreen (apple music/beats 1 video version) next - it’s her first original she did after my mind. but tbh with yebba you really can’t miss, so do whatever you want - just more yebba please!

Yebbas voice is angelic. I dont know any other like hers

She's a queen and a magician, she turns everything she touches into gold, pure talent, musically and artistically gifted... I'm her number one fan 👍❤️🎵🎵🎵

She is like if Adele went to Southern Babtist Church as a kid ... it reminds me if someone took Toni Braxton, Anita Baker and Adele and mashed them up together

My top 3 females of the "blue eyed soul" genre... Amy Winehouse, Adele, Yebba

You should definitely check out her live performance of her singing Evergreen🙌🏽

I wasn't sure watching you watch the first verse of Distance, I thought - he looks like he's falling love in with her. The start of the second verse confirmed it... She IS flawless live. I much prefer listening to her live versions - it brings out the best in her - what more could you ask for in a musician...

Several of her best performances. Love Tiny Desk live shows.

To everybody who love Yebba as much as I do, i would suggest you to check out Faouzia ! Another alien with the voice of an angel and like Yebba, her acoustics and lives are from another world compared to studio versions so check out Faouzia, she is mindblowing ! Yebba is one of the most genius level singing I ever heard I cannot wait for her to tour in europe

Omg!!!! Where do I start! I’ll say, I am you in a woman’s body hahaha. From the comments (where did she come from, do I like this song (2nd track), to will she have an accent) 😂😂😂 She is an underground goodie that I’m glad I found. Her runs, her presence, the soul and beauty in her voice is crazy! She’s a mix of the greats- Jasmine Sullivan, Monica, Brandy, Adele and I’m hearing Whitney Houston. Ugh- she makes feel good music on a Sunday morning with coffee in the fall. 🥰🥰💜

Awesome reaction! Love Yebba! Her live performances add so many layers to her music, which the studio versions are great too, but live is just special.

yebba is a moment in time where an artist defines a decade... if you haven't, colors channel will put you on too.

❤ Yebba ❤

Look up her duet with Clark Becham.

Loved your reaction ❤️

We boycotting studio albums from Yebba from now on. We want ONLY live recorded albums lol The way she kills these tracks live make me not want to return to her album versions 😂 I’m spoiled. 🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

So happy you finally listened to this

Yebba for me right now is my favorite female vocalist. So talented, great songwriter. The fact that Dawn her album was overlooked for a Grammy is a disgrace. This album was far more superior than Adele’s last album. She is currently now in the studio working on her 2nd album after coming off tour with John Mayer. Hopefully after this 2nd album she will tour on her own. The industry knows how talented she is. She has worked with Mark Ronson and was signed by Ed Sheeran under his label after seeing “My Mind”. Another talented singer right now is Lucky Daye and you should also check out his Tiny desk performance.

I want my continuous likes to count. I love Yerba’s voice. 🎉. sounds like an indigenous lady. Her pain, yea. I love you Yebba, Enough respect Yebba. I have been sharing your sound with all my friends. You good. lol. That whoooping you do. Not everyone has that in their soul. I’m just saying. Peace.

For the past decade or so, the majority of non-black artist have either mixed in or completely used R&B and Hip Hop producers but kept their music light enough to stay "POP" and thus secure the majorities music sales. Its a numbers game at the end of the day with the industry. That's why Adelle can come out with a whole album but only one song is released and she becomes a multi-millionaire or Grammy winner.

Great commentary. Her live versions are better than the album in my opinion. I wish they'd release this live version as a streaming purchase.

Man, Polo, Get yourself to a concert sometime!

She is insanely talented and gifted singer! I don’t know, who is better technically: she or Jazmine 🤷🏽‍♂️

Boomerang and Smoke both live is a must!

Its a awesome concert❤🙏❤

Yebba is amazing...thank you

Yebba 💜 I think my intro was via Mark Robson in 2019 (they did live performances on Later, Glastonbury & Live Lounge) & have been a big fan since then. Have you seen her Electric Lady session videos? So great & definitely check out of you haven't! I'm sure you'd enjoy them. The version of Louie Bag is a must, that + One More Smile & October Sky are my personal favourites from it, but the whole session is great. Also check out the live of Yebba & Lucky Daye doing How much can a heart take.

I'm as enamored just as much as you are. Adele and yebba have black woman souls. Fo sho!

YOUVE NEVER BEEN TO A CONCERT..... SIRRRRRR

All of these are off of Yebba’s album Dawn - named after her mother who took her life shortly after Yebba’s My Mind. Much of the album is about her mother. - as is Evergreen. I’ve had this on rotation, and it’s actually better than the recorded version. Highly recommend Boomerang live and October Sky.

A little Janis Joplin vibe in there 😮

And she’s a church girl - in her blood basically. 😂❤

PLEASE react to her singing "My Mind" probably the most beautiful song on the internet

She’s from Memphis!!!!!!❤

This is Y&B.

Mac millers tiny desk is top notch too! An absolute vibe and will give you a glimpse of the absolute joy/light that guy was🙌🔥

Questlove is on drums...

adele can sing..yeah..but..I mean..I don't know where to start! someone help me!

Check out how much can a heart take by Lucky Daye featuring her!

best tiny desk

Voice very very very very nice clen

Love the reactions! Since I know you like freestyles you have to check out juice wrld raps on French beats. Harry Mack has personally requested that other channels react to it in the past as he believes it is one of the greatest freestyles of all time. And it's not like the other rappers who get the beats ahead of time and think writtens are the same as freestyle...

I really like Adele, but she does not have the agility on runs that Yebba has. Jazmine is the only one that can compare today. As for R&B, definitely! Also, I have never heard such amazing back up singers as these!! Great musicians all around! Love listening to this again with you! New subscriber here!

No accent because shes from West Memphis Arkansas...close to Memphis TN

React to Stan Walker - Ultra Light beam.

Yo bro I just subbed. Do Marilyn Manson! His videos are wild af and he’s actually super intelligent. His lyrics hold deep meaning. Check out the most popular: The Beautiful People, Sweet Dreams (a cover), The Nobodies (one of my favorite), Disposable Teens, and yet another of my favorites Red Carpet Grave. There’s many more, he’s absolute legend of course. But these are some of his older songs from the times he was considered the most controversial artist out and was used as a scapegoat. Which he embraced and used it to fuel his success. Paving the way for a lot of artist still to this day. You could get lost in his history and even in the way his lyrics are careful constructed. Dope channel btw, I listen to all types of music so cool to see you reacting to a types as well.

The white girls comment. hahahaha. 🙂

all her songs are sad because thats her reality. this whole album is dedicated to her mom Dawn who lost her life to suicide

I’m really late to hearing her, too. Blink and you’ll miss her next move. You probably understand that now!

Nice, and then you hear people like "The Hamiltones"

Lil Dicky - Save Dat Money

The album version sounds nothing like this. This is way better. Love Yebba!

Can we talk about the bgvs? 🔥🔥

What do you mean when you say “white girl?” She’s a human being singing her heart out and I don’t understand referring to a person by a color. I’m not mad bro but, from brother to brother, pls reconsider doing this. Besides, she’s not even white she’s light brown. Same as you and me. God bless

Drake ?

Effortless!

I've seen several videos now of African American men reacting to Caucasian singers. It cracks me up that they so often have this semi-shocked attitude about White singers who can sing. It's usually singers who have done a pretty good job of "appropriating" the style of Black singers. I guess the standard of excellence in vocal music is when White people sound Black. Okay, that's one way to sing - sometimes great, sometimes the same old thing, same old sound. Well, Yebba, you can rest easy now. This guy you never heard of likes you. (p.s. there are other kinds of music)

Only accent may be just southern... She's a Memphis seed... Amazing freaking voice
