Dec. 16, 2019 | Bobby Carter -- Many bands make considerable adjustments to their playing style in order for their sound to properly fill the Tiny Desk space. LA-based trio Moonchild, along with three background singers and a drummer, arrived promptly for their load-in time, unpacked their gear and were ready to go within minutes. Aside from being especially efficient, their natural musical instincts made for a custom fit in our corner.
Amber Navran, Max Bryk and Andris Mattson joined forces in 2012 at the University of Southern California and their debut album, Be Free soon followed. This year, they released their fourth album, Little Ghost, intricately meshing jazz, R&B and hip-hop sounds under Amber's subtle vocal feats.
For their set, they pulled out all the stops: flutes, flugelhorns, saxophones, keyboards, ukuleles and some the best harmonies I've heard in recent memory. From the moment Amber walked into the building and throughout the performance, she wore a smile on her face and expressed sincere gratitude for the Tiny Desk platform. She took advantage of the moment and amplified a cause near and dear to her heart. She asked us to "spend our privilege" and do more in the fight for people of color in the United States. They closed with a jam from 2017's Voyager.

ok
Ok !!
Such an honor ❤️We love you NPR!
Amazing ❤️
Moonchild I loved this session. One of my favorites. I love that you spoke on black lives matter. That was powerful ✊🏿💯
You are amazing
Taylor smith you are too queen✊🏿💯
You guys are fantastic. Love the entire vibe of this band. Thank you so much.
Dude in the yellow played a horn and keyboard at the same time. We owe him more money.
guitar too hes amazing .. totally felt like i should be paying too watch !!
plus that piano solo on The Other Side though . . . . . .
and the amazing bass line in the first song!!!!
He played the bassline during horn! sigg
usually people who play two or more instruments on a given gig earn around 30% more for each instrument they play. I think it is deserved.
She looks like she's giving a TED talk when she sings
TEDx in that shonky venue ;-)
@@TheDruidKing Ahhhh...... This is true!!!!
best comment
Notice that too.
Thank you.....couldn’t figure it out.....😂😂
THEY'RE ALIENS!!! Anit no way 7 random super multi-talented humans "found" each other and perform like THAT. I'm awestruck. Their vibe is too immaculate. I'm a permanent fan now. Also yellow shirt is a whole vibe. 😊
WHOLE vibe! He is grooving for REAL!!
Yeah , it’s like watching angels perform !
Humans do this. No aliens no angels HUMANS….❤
We are an we are here to spread love and positivity my sweet child
Mes...mer...RIZED!!!
This finally happened ! Next Hiatus Kaiyote and I'll be finally complete
KoSinus Right!
My goodness..YESSS!
dear god please no
I have to agree with you there
also lianne la havas again
Once again, hats off to the NPR engineers. The recording quality on every installment of this series is stunning.
Agreed‼️Speaking as an audio engineer myself, I really appreciate it when audio engineers get the props they deserve 🙌🏾
Outstanding sound engineering! Haven't heard much better for a live online performance.
Agreed... Josh does a spectacular job every time... I often like the tiny desk mix better than the artist's studio recordings!
Truly masterful work!
Yup - exceptional engineering - so much detail. Feels like being there!
Which Instrument can you play?
yellow shirt guy: YES
Yellow Shirt Guy for President
"Well but we need keys and trumpet at the same time"
"So?"
Man this is real music from the soul
Andris is the best💛
🤣🤣 that's the first thing I noticed...
She looks like she’s always on the brink of cracking up laughing, it’s so sweet!
lol right She does carry that look here.
Get ya a girl that smiles at you like she smiles at an audience 😍
I saw that too! The pure joy in her soul just can’t be contained or fully expressed even by the love of making her music. She teeters on laughter and we follow and smile.
❤
So true. She really projects a sincere warmth. Its mesmerizing.
AIN'T NOBODY TALKING ABOUT YELLOW SHIRT MAN AND HIS BADASS SYNTH BASS LINES. THEM LINES ARE HOTTTT HOTTTT
My man is playing everything. 😄
The Man is a MASTER on many levels!!!!
Genius
I HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU BROTHER
He's Andris Mattson
It was only a matter of time for Moonchild to be here... this is the perfect scene for them
Motheo Molefi Facts
I totally agree I was so excited to see them on here!\
Yes
This is a perfect scene.
eish wena , i totally agree
Musician: I'd like to audition to join the group!
Them: 6 instrument minimum.
😅😅🤣
Really tho...LMBO!!!
"We don't need no steenkeeng bass player"
ToobDude1 ...no they don’t but,the right one makes it all even better! 😂 One or all of them probably play bass as well! 😂
Singer: I'd like to audition for a backup singer.
Them: still one instrument minimum
I love the "minimalist" feel of Moonchild's music, no tone too much... No embellishments, just the raw thing.
no need for extra parts when each element is well written and work together so well!
But my bros on the left hand bass though!!!!
*Fun Fact:* this band is also responsible for doing the horn section on the Hive Album by The Internet. 💯
Dope
That is a fun fact
Royal Chicano 🔥
Omg that’s cool 🔥
Oh WOW! I have heard them with other people,didn't know they worked with the Internet too! Now I have to check it out again.😁
You had me at "There's coffee in the coffee maker".
LOL, right!
I am 14 and this is deep
They had me at ''We love this series, it's been an honour, thank you.''
Amen!
Factz!
NPR has become the ultimate host for concerts. Everything sounds so good
A good sound mixer can make anything come true. A bunch of Louis Cole’s songs were recorded in (what I assume was) his house
Mint-Flavoured Sand ...it’s not the mixer,it’s the players...makes the mix engineers job easier when players know what they’re doing.
Just put this on some better speakers with a sub instead of just my phone. Loved it before. But with even decent audio it's 🤯🥴
Tiny Desk, Audiotree, KEXP, COLORS. Love 'em all.
For real! Even artists I don't like come through on tiny desk. I think it's bc the setting forces most of them to change their performances, so they get to refine them
This man is playing a horn with one hand, and on keys with the other... I love this group.
...tearing that bass -line up
@@chrisdavis2161ALL THE WAY UP!!!!
ADVISORY: This video contains exceptional musicianship, heart-felt bouncing around by the keyboard, a deeply touching humanitarian message, mezmerizing dimples and other factors that may cause heart fluctuations.
That deeply touching humanitarian message ... so well expressed, every word as compact as the music with a great call to action for a such a passionate cause ... and amen to the music.
I love it
some smooth loving on the saxophones too :3
@@LJ-uh9hd I have absolutely no idea how to play a saxophone myself but I believe I know what you mean. Smooth is the exact word I would use here as well. And to think they can just go from singing or playing a keyboard to playing the sax or a flute? I guess I'm in love with all of them...
Masseyrati lol!!! I am shooketh!!! Nice vibes
I love how she sings while looking at people, like she's narrating a story.
Shes an amazing performer. They all are
It's funny you say that, because I told a friend of mine that she sings like she's reading a book to children. I totally get that.
They seem like THE friendliest band ever man lol.
They are. They let me take them to a late breakfast after their show here in Chicago
@@chefdh that's dope
Hiatus Kaiyote: am I a joke to you?
They are I met them in San Diego and they are all really chill.
David Benson they really are
This woman's voice is something special. Her song style is just captivating.
I agree
Theres coffee in the coffee maker she had me from the start
Reminds me of Michael Franks
She's not doing anything new stylistically but what she does do perfectly. Can't knock it
She sounds mad similar to Dido and I’m all here for it. Just stumbled on this group and they’re amazing
If you wake up to MOONCHILD and you are still angry or sad please continue you're therapy!😊 God bless you all!
I am a huge Moonchild fan and have never tried this therapy. Will do tomorrow.
*your
Facts
The most slept on group .. straight fire
Totally agree! My faves
Well said.
Who sleeping tho?....SHIDDD WE LOVE MOON CHILD ON THIS SIDE
I’m sooo late and I’m a drummer and singer
They are INCREDIBLE! Folks better wake up!
With groups like Moonchild, KING, The Internet, Tank & Da Bangas, The Dove Society, Radio Galaxy, wax poetics(the group), the oz collective, snarky puppy, OSHUN, etc makes me still love music.
Louis Cole, Jacob Mann/Max Ox, Fearofdark too.
Listen to Hiatus Kaiyote
Yes I truly agree, I love underrated singers
Snarky Puppy is musogasmic sometimes. Lingus just floors me. And the one that they do with Jacob Collier is ridiculous.
Lateshia Childs don’t worry soon they won’t be underrated
She has first grade teacher teaching high school for the first time energy and it's the coolest thing I've ever seen.
That's the perfect description of Amber's energy! Love her ❤
Hiatus kaiyote tiny desk concert
Ive never wanted something more
im just a BEAN but thats ok I met them at a show and told them the world needs a HK x MC album!!!!
@@Eaglesinthe732 yes! That would be so good!
Yoooooooooo... Seriously!!! “Nakamarra” is all I need to see/hear!!!
I. Would. Lose. My. Mind 😭🔥
@@Eaglesinthe732 Great minds think alike
Everyday is tiny desk for MoonChild
W A V Y B O Y Right! 😆
❤️
Now that’s a fact
Right lol
Hmm...
Growing up on badu, Sade prince and d’angelo. I’ve always had this idea that neo soul is and will always be a black only genre. But hearing these new white artists take the art from and do great things with it. Man I gotta eat my words. Tom misch, moonchild and mac ayers are killing it
Great taste!
Yeeeesssss
I hear what you're saying, but I wouldn't go that far
wait until you disover Nai Palm and Hiatus Kaiyote. I highly suggest the song "Fingerprints" by Hiatus Kaiyote and Nai Palm - "When the Knife (Live at Sydney Opera House)". Trust me!
I agree. I felt the same way. But I think good music is color blind. It can even build bridges when it seems that none exist.
2023 and Im still here losing my mind over this performance. I genuinely loved and still love this. Thank you @thisismoonchild you guys are blessed
2024🎵🎶🎤🎶🎵
2025 🤯
same!!!!!!
2024 🙋🏾♀️
Just discovered them last yr, still rocking in 2024 🎶
I was in high school band with Amber and it’s so fun to hear her sing and see how far she’s gone
God Bless
@@everettewingfield5123 Can you tell us more about her? What was she like?
Cool to see her putting her woodwinds to use!
You look a bit like her, but more like a brunette version.
:)
The engineer and production team should get in front of the camera and take a bow you guys are quality top notch 🎛🎤🎚🎙🔊
Amen I can not fault their production for almost every tiny desk, most of the time sounds better than studio recordings
Agreed. Pushing my ear buds in deep on this one in particular, but they're often the best I've heard many of these artists.
geraldotorres35 I wish I had the ear to appreciate sound engineering. Maybe I’d only notice if it was bad.
yeahh it sounds damm great!
EXACTLY!!! this sound is album worthy...like, all of the Tiny Desk shows should have albums...that is how good the sound quality is.
She smiles like she has a good joke to share.
She’s like: “Here’s a good one: Did you know that not everybody listens to us??”
Peltier luc 24/7
She knows the cosmic joke and her music is how she shares it 💖💖💖
Peltier luc 😭😭😂😂😂best comment ever
😂😂😂 I can't
Back again, 2024 😂😂 I just can't get enough of this performance!!!
All I need is D'angelo and I'll be COMPLETE
Yessir!
Oooihhhhh 🔥🔥🔥
Bruhhhhhh 😳😳🤯🤯🔥🔥
But what would his setlist be? I would want to hear Africa and Latin Joint. Then somethin off of Brown Sugar and Black Messiah....
Tiny desk is such a blessing, i think your dreams could be realized!
Her voice is like butter, on butter
For real though, bro!
& Dipped in butter, with butter on the side
You wouldn't think that voice came from her.. she's always smiling.. will be definitely looking her up know Amazon music..
@@browncrichlow Amber Navran has the voice of an Angel. I absolutely LOVE her smile! 💗
Like the softest butter the world could ever produced
Please give that person a raise that booked theses artists
Moonchild is so underrated. Everyone involved is just overflowing with talent and the music is simply immaculate and beautiful!
I been an instant fan years ago when I heard “The List” on a random playlist. I been hooked ever since! ❤❤❤
Who else keeps coming back to this excellence?
This has turned into my daily routine, what a discovery
For the past 2 months and I guess more this days :P
My fourth time watching. She is so cool... The harmonies are so pure and effortless. Of course, those two monster musicians on keyboards... both accomplished masters of multiple instruments... including Moonchild herself.
Yep. Here weekly. 🥰🥰
About weekly fr
Unfortunately it's artists like Moonchild, that get the least exposure. So slept on. Just pure chill music, and the vibes... mainstream would never give it a chance. Well done Tiny Desk/ NPR...
SN: Let me not short change the background singers and musicians. Homie on the piano in the yellow a fool with it!!! 🔥🔥🔥
I know right I love jazz music I wish jazz was more mainstream
Great music, but they can keep their politics to themselves 🤢
exactly. those chill vibes should be all over WDAS (r&b station in philly) but they're not... smh
@@Jell0zz The President is a reality TV star. I don't see why you think the topic of politics should not be talked about, especially being musicians.
I don't know, sometimes I like it better that way than being oversaturated..They doing well touring and stuff...Man, their music is so good!
I'm not even kidding. I had a dream that I got a notification saying Moonchild was on Tiny Desk three months ago and I woke up and checked youtube thinking it was real. Then I saw it today and thought I was dreaming again. So glad I'm not. This was what I've been waiting for
dream something nice about me 🙂
They're out here fulfilling dreams and all. Sheesh!
Becky Goulding prophecies
Dreams come true ✨
You’re a master-manifester! ✨ You should test what else you can make happen in your life and in the greater world. 🌎
Bless you Moonchild for your words, the truth of them and also the charged inspiration they bring. Salute!
I saw them live at the Atlanta Jazz Festival in Piedmont Park and they were magical. The lead vocalist is such a pure spirit. Love her and love them.
Makeba Nicole Omg I saw them there too! They opened for The Internet during the Hive Mind Tour at The Tabernacle last year too 😍
Completely jealous
@@BellesView i was at that concert with the INTERNET!
Oh no!! ... was that the one from this summer ??. I hate I missed them !!
Zoser Reseach Society OMG small world! That was an incredible concert.
I need a dedicated camera on yellow shirt guy at all times
Man is absolutely electric on stage
Reminds me of Tom Misch
agreed
He's awesome, name is Andris Mattson
I'd totally watch this on loop. The dude is vibin' so much !
It's amazing how well their music translates into a tiny desk. Sounds just like the studio release
Sounds even better than their already gorgeous studio stuff
JOSHUΛ I was thinking they! Especially her voice! She sounded extra amazing
Facts
it's partially because of the musicians' talent, but also the recording game @npr's tiny desk is off the charts :}
Durox Kilo 100%, the sound engineering on the npr team is off the charts to another level
I don't think people realize this was one of the cleanest executed, most in sync, most hard to pull off performances ever on NPR, and that says a lottt...
This group right here..........SPEECHLESS!!!!!!! Jill Scott even gave them a co sign....
I cant wait to see them and jill on tour. Its gonna be amazing!!!
@@pamelamcdaniel7072 a
My soul feels nourished.. Bless you Amber and the whole band godbless see yall on tour.❤❤
That moment when the Tiny Desk Concert version sounds better than the studio recording....
I thought the exact same thing!
Most Tiny Desk concerts almost always sounds better than the studio recordings..
You mean like... 99% of the time?
YEEEESSS!! Great deception when I heard the album! This gig felt so much better!
Every single Tiny Desk.... Vote for putting This stuff on Spotify.
They sound like this live?!! Amazing...
Andris Mattson (AKA Yellow Shirt Guy) did not have to go that hard. But he did that. He did that for us.
That he did! The face doesn't lie @ 4:39 - much respect from his fellow bandmate as well.
He killed it! Yes he did.
Ok! Syncopation on 1000%! Playing the bass line on keyboard while playing trumpet is a new one lol i love it!!!❤️❤️❤️
@@miram2053 Then this ninja picks up a guitar after that! Crazy!!
🤣🤣🤣
Cannot believe this day has come
Same
Me too! Love them! 6am is my wine and chill song after work.💜
Whitney Williams it’s my exam cram kinda music 😂
Katy Neve RIGHT!!!!!!!!💜💜💜
LIKE REALLY!!! I almost couldn't believe it when I saw the update.
I "Like" many things but rarely comment. After watching this for the 20th time in the past couple weeks I feel compelled. I'm 65 and music has always been a huge part of my my life. Primarily a jazz fan, but I listen to everything. I'm so impressed by the way you wed so many influences into a completely soulful experience. I get teary when I hear and see your passion. And Amber, your message after the second song was amazing and prophetic and spot on. I plan to listen to you as long as you're making music.
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽everything you said!
I was wondering if I was the only one that gets close to crying when listening to this, simply out of the emotions...
I agree Kennedy...something about their sound that is quietly genuine ...sprinkled with musical excellence. ...as a musican....I am hearing some very well written and practiced material.....I too almost come to tears on ..the song....Money!....P.s.....they opened for Stevie Wonder...musical royalty....Stevie does not mess with you unless you are VERY GOOD!....something to ponder!
Hey if you like this you should check out the artist Raveena’s Tiny Desk Concert, I think you may really enjoy her sound as well!
AMEN !!!
You can't tell dude in the yellow shirt nothin. He knows he's killing it. Beautiful music and a great voice.
All of this multi-instrumentalism is intimidating.
Haha I feel personally attacked!
Haha fear us
It's beautiful to watch though
ikr
Amazing & Beautiful
I love how happy she looks when she sings 💕
Me toooooooo!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I love that about her......
Me three! The glow from within shines and I’m here for it.👏🏽
She loves her blessings of singing that brings joy to others
Yeah, she sings, feels, lives, and she is music... Sweety
I had them playing while giving birth to my son. They set the mood so perfect!! Love them!
Nice!!! and Congrats. I hope you get to meet them in person someday and tell them. I'm sure they would love to hear that.
Your son must be chill😆🤣
The Trend yes, he’s a music baby it’s calms him
That is so sweet! I bet they would love to know that.
That is so beautiful, to come into the world to the sound of this sort of music. Every time he hears them, he may feel like he's home.
Always love her messaging of solidarity in their shows. All of the musicians in this band are amazingly talented.
I heard her speaking about "standing up for black and brown lives". That isnt solidarity. GROSS
@@fuckcensorship69 How is it not solidarity? Are you a cop?
Don't think I've ever seen so many instrument changes in one set. Seriously talented group.
watch jacob collier but yes its amazing :D
Never been to the south I see
@Cindy lou Betris i don't get your point?
@Cindy lou Betris I guess not but it's ok when you think so.
Cindy lou Betris no, he isn’t a dullard you’re comment seems either nonsensical or racist
My 10 month old granddaughter brought me here. She prefers Tiny Desk concerts to cartoons. What a smart girl she is.
10 month old??? Now you know that your granddaughter likes good music!! Your next step is gonna be essential!
Musician in the making.
Figure out if she's a taper, blower or a plucker
She gon be a prodigy
oh snap line up babygirl with a music teacher as soon as she can process it... she'll be a great
"There's coffee in the coffee maker!"
I Was Hooked From There 😭😭😭
Where I didnt see it
@@lateshiachilds3640 Literally the first lyrics she sings
You saw the bright smile on her? 😭😧
@@Xaldar oh ok, I didnt catch that
I just woke up, watched the first few seconds of this, realized there actually IS coffee in the coffee maker (it's on a timer), and I got impossibly happy
Piano solo around 9:30 is really great. Really great phrases, no excessive chops just substance. 100% lean.
I concur...it's a written solo... he plays it very consistently
it's very airy theme
Perfection
You’re playing keys AND trumpet at the same time 😃 Homie?!?!?!
exactly !! 💯
Flugelhorn
That was SICK !!!!😳😂👊🏾
I accidentally threw my food everywhere when i saw Moonchild in Tiny Desk
😂 I was putting my clothes on for work and saw the notification and immediately rushed to my car to listen to it. I may have left something at the house 😂😂🤦🏾♂️
Lol
I forgot to put my clothes on and now I am at work nude. My boss is looking at me
@@theinfamouspokeinrichmondc3543 loooool
dude what were you eating...should given it to me im hungry
Moonchild is so deserving of this. I hope people will stop sleeping on them now.
We live in the world of beyonce and mumble rap, people will always sleep
They're not being slept on. They've got a pretty solid fanbase
What does that mean? Sleeping on? ...sorry to appear thick, but I'm old😊
"This List" is one of those songs that takes me to a familiar place that I've never been to. It speaks to a part of me that doesn't get much attention. I love it.
Wow! I couldn't have said that better if I tried. Thanks!
Thought I was the only one that has these kinds of experiences! Love the way you put it!
Same here!!! I feel so free with that song.
Perfect description!!!!!
Exactlyyy!!
My perfect collaboration wish would be Moonchild and Robert Glasper and his band. God make it happen.🙏🙏🙏
Moonchild and NPR thank you for touching and lifting my soul 🔥🔥🔥
Or even with Snarky Puppy or better yet Brandon William's from my city Detroit
Omg I always be thinking that it’s Robert Glasper in the background.
Yes!!
IT’S NOT CHARITY IT’S SOLIDARITY
“As you grow professionally and financially your responsibility to give grows with you so spend your privilege”
Yeah I'm a fan
It was such a beautiful speech. Sometimes, I cringe at white musicians (being white myself) making insincere statements about race and equality even though I often agree with the sentiment. She was so obviously speaking from the heart though, and she’s right! I know I’m privileged, and it shouldn’t be that way! Everyone should be born and treated equal, the only thing that should affect the way we’re treated should be our actions.
@@08mlascelles I read on BBC and another source that she's not white, she's actually Iranian American..! She might be mixed then since she's calling herself white here
@@momoshun this gets into the crazy world of race. The Iranian I've asked considers himself both white and asian. I think he is correct, to the degree there is such a thing as race, which there isn't, but...
Ayn Rand does not like this xp
I wish Google would allow you you save clips into a playlist. There are so many soundbites that I would like to use and have the clip itself refer back to the full source for full context.
I would love to see FKJ, Tom Misch, Masego, Sabrina Claudio, and Moonchild in one concert.
I would definitely pay for that. Plus vanjess in that mix
They are opening for Jill Scott in Orlando for March. I'm there!
Omg yesss
🙌
oii that would be mad
One million of the total views are from me.
Rest of it goes to my account 😂🙏
I’m late to the party. I’ve never heard of them. This was unexpected and amazing at the same time.
Listen to the voyager, you'll fall in love🙌🏾👌🏾
So glad u got the chance to listen. Voyager is definitely a hit album, hadn't listened to Little Ghost album yet but Please Rewind album also has some good music.
All their music is 🔥
Same..i am hooked
@@TheRealIndridCold x2
The whole thing feels like heavy blankets on cold days
Y Lewis a beautiful line
Can we talk about how her voice emulates the flute so beautifully and the perfect airy blending of her background singers?? The band is amazingly flawless, but the sound person is the real MVP. They sound crisp as the autumn leaves. 🍂🍁🍂
Daaaayyyum… Your analogy is crosshairs spot on! She is amazing and they’re sick… 😎
Tiny desk sound rocording engineer never fails to amaze me, it really gets the high note on recording fidelity to a point that its realisim seems unreal
@@afisanaa Yes, I write poetry ☺🦋
Ambers voice is a perfect example of it not the loudest or the the voice that can do a lot of tricks to display perfect alignment and sound. Its like the perfect QB for the right Offense. Its soft and beautiful, yet not without a few beautiful imperfections, just like everybody else up there. But they are a TEAM and they CARRY each other beautifully. I have not ever heard something so complex sound so simple and so Beautiful. Why? You hear dedication to CRAFT and an array of well thought SOUNDSCAPES that fly like an Eagle with headphones on over the Grand Canyon. Just Beautiful while smooth sailing!
@@MrTechman01 Very beautifully and eloquently stated. Love. 💗🦋
And she's singing live! Beautiful voice. Beautiful group. Beautiful everything across the board!
pristine keys, harmonies, beats and instruments that require a breeze
Me: Let me listen to this while I work out...
Me, 20 minutes later: Got lost in the music and forgot to work out.
😊 😊
👌🏽☺️☺️☺️☺️
Same here. And the wish to dance all around is insane
I love working out to Moonchild. It’s the most relaxing workout ever. Still get a pump though.
Can we just give it up for all the MULTI-talented and musically gifted people in this tiny desk?! Especially homeboy andris in the yellow handling the keys, trumpet, AND guitar. You can tell he really FEELS the music
I think that's a cornet
David S It’s a flugelhorn
Crystal O. YES!!!
@@AGMoneyTrigga Yes, thank you!
Crystal I'm right with him.😊
GOOD music makes me move.🎶👏🎶👏🎶👏
Interviewer : "So....what instruments do you guys play?" Mooncild: "Yes"
😁😁😅😅
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Audience: They play ALL OF THEM. Now interviewer, shhhh.
😂😂😂😂😂
I just love Ambers voice and her dimples are so adorable 🤩🥰
She looks like she’s not even trying & her smile is so gd contagious omg.
Young Padawan EXACTLY
Young Padawan I don't think her upper lip can cover them up.
She sorta sounds like she's not trying either - is she really the lead or is she filling in for someone?
I know, right???
I have to agree
Moon child goes with Tiny Desk like peanut butter and jelly.
Homie in the yellow shirt is feeling it. Me too man, me too...
LowKey the heart of the band
Lol bruh is killin it tho
Man……I feel like I’ve been living under a rock. I just got introduced to this group. Where have you been!!!!!!!!!!! 💜
Tiny desk... ok you win... you're my favorite channel on TH-cam. You can never go wrong with Moonchild
She looks like an elementary school art teacher lol
I hope she is. She might actually be able to inspire young minds.
That would be amazing!!! 😌
She was definitely the one I had a crush on that my brain thought could sound close to Erykah Badu if she sang except it's real now. Miss Frizzle out here vibing
Joe Limbus yes like the best part of your school day!
That's what so dope about Amber. She looks nothing like she sounds...which to me is really cool.
I would’ve cried if they performed ‘The Truth’..or ‘The Cure’..who am I kidding, I still cried lol
when they say you’ve got the key 😭😭
Real talk
I feel you on that with the Truth - would have loved them to get that one in! But they did The List, so I'm just as happy...
Keith Wills lol true glad they blessed us with ‘The List’
the cure gets me too lol
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Moonchild!!! STILL listening in 2022!!!!
Found them in 2023 and I'm SOOOOOO MAD IT TOOK THIS LONG!!
2024 to infinite
2024👂🎶🎤😏🙌
@@yahneyoung5505 Yesssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!! 🫶🏼💕💯🔥
Moon child and Tom Misch could make a stellar album together
THIS!!
I think he'd get found out!
@@michaelbrathwaite7019 Witty but for real no doubt that guy has some proper talent
TRUE!!!!
omg i recently found them out both at the same time. They would make a hit
The fact that she looks like she’s enjoying her songs makes me even love watching her perform more
One of the most underrated groups of neo soul been following them since their first project....hate this pandemic has it where I can’t even see them on their tour with Jill
Scott...
🤯🤯🤯 Really ... Where was it going to be??!!!!?
@@everettewingfield5123 Philadelphia, I believe. I got to see them perform in new Orleans a week before this pandemic hit. They were awesome.
I know you playing DANG! lol Jill plus this group wow.
I was fortunate enough to see them w/Jill Scott right before the shutdown and got an autographed vinyl! They were amazing as expected!
They were gonna come to Orlando she discovered them on bandcamp and they opened for her tour man straight ear candy
The fact that they are playing multiple instruments is definitely insane talent
Moonchild is a whole mood, the band, the background vocals.... perfection. The message though Amber.... Much respect!
I agreeee.... all except the incessant rhythmic head-bounding. Rather listen than watch!!
@@s2s_parrotfan236 lol really? I enjoyed it.
A couple of months ago I went to their concert and she used her message to highlight an organisation in my city Toronto and even brought the representatives to the show if anyone wanted more information on it. So glad I found this group 2 years ago.
@@EricG-bv2ui I want to go to a concert so bad lol. I would love more information thanks so much.
@@anayadivine6494 they are a a group of accomplished musical and multi instrumentalists. That alone makes their show a massive treat. Catch them and you wont regret.
The organisation Amber highlighted in my city is the Parkdale Community Legal Services. They deal with a whole list of issues that affect marginalized groups. They tackle issues involving housing, workers right, immigration etc. Look em up. They do great work.
First time listening to this group.. I was not prepared people... Amazing.
Welcome 😂
Oh they 3 albums out you have to hear
Darnell Harris they actually have 4. And they’re all excellent
@@BigDipperPro 4
I know how you feel. I just clicked looking forward to a little alternative music. Was pleasantly surprised. Now I must binge listen.
First off, I knew this set was gonna be absolute FIRE solely based on the way that my guy in the yellow button up was jamming on the keys. My mans was feeling it. Second off, her voice is beautiful. It sounds like a faint rainstorm on a cool, breezy, clear summer night. She’s beautiful, her voice is angelic, the band is crazy talented. The fact that she added a message about bettering humanity is a plus. I love when artists use their platforms to promote positivity. The world needs so much more of this. Much love to Moonchild. I’ve been streaming her/their music non stop since I watched this.
T Green Moonchild, the gift that keeps on giving. Keep on streaming T!
When I saw him I was like well play it the way you feel it then sir!
ditto
Given some of these comments - many of these humans could care less about "bettering humanity" ...or least the melanated portion...
A faint rainstorm on a cool, breezy, clear summer night was the description I NEEDED!!! Great writing!
When life isn’t funky enough, Play this. Your soul will thank you.
"Moonchild". Their music is the perfect antidote for a nervous condition. If Amber Navran's voice can't calm you down, just check yourself into the nearest clinic.
Now this is music for the soul. It's impossible to be in a bad mood while listening to Moonchild.
Dude in the yellow shirt is officially one of my favorite people...EVER.
Same here
Same I want to date him. Lol
Dude in the yellow is more black than the black guy on drums
Andris Mattson, he is amazing!!
True, lol
These Cats are just Vibing in that Heart felt Place. Music has to come from the Creator because it doesn’t matter what Language, Race, Religion or whatever Unimportant distractions on this Earth, it can always touch Something deep down inside ALL of US!! Thanks for making My Soul smile.
brilliantly stated. 👏
The fact that he was playing flugelhorn and keybass at the same time 😳😱🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Louis Cole is also a master of playing multiple instruments at once, he has played the drums at the same time as playing the keyboard, look him up
@@mint-flavouredsand8943 yeah, Louis Cole is AWESOME! 🔥🔥🔥 I've played keys and drums together before but I've never even seen someone play a horn while playing any other instrument lol 😱
Binkbeats
This is why in high school it’s best to get close to the band members and show choir kids, because when they mix together this is what happens!!
At least this is what happened at my school!
Pure love!!
This is such a true statement! Lol all of the theater and choir kids at my HS work in Hollywood or Hollywood adjacent lol
I come back to this video every couple months, not only for the amazing music, not only for the inspiring speech, not only for Amber’s beautiful smile... but to check the comment section for new “yellow shirt guy” comments... 👍🏼😀👍🏼
😂😂😂
😂😂😂 same here, man
His Temperament is that of Pure Tumeric.
