• Durand Bernarr: Tiny D...
Durand's mom is a vocal coach which explains his range and styles.
Wow! That's good to know!
My god that's why he's so talented ❤️
Even his dad is an incredible producer as well!
That’s so dope. Now I want to know more about his mom now. Was she a background singer at some point? How did she get her start?
That makes a lot of sense
His level of talent mixed with just complete silliness and foolishness is the way I want to feel and view music forever I can't explain it it's just my vibe all the way down to the proud family costumes everyone was a character
Pure foolishness. LOVE IT!!
Baaaaaaaaby, I can't tell u how I share ur sentiment. He gives me my ENTIRE life!!! Such a super talented JOY!!
I thought I recognized those costumes. Couldn't place them though. LOL. I loved it!
Yesss I swear
Well said ! That’s why I love him. I been playing this tiny desk for DAYS
I just found out his mom is a professional voice coach and his father did production for Earth Wind and Fire. That is one melodious house. 😊
Yup he told me that in 2011 and his father is also does sound enginnering (music engineer)
The effortless power, range, playfulness, and versatility of Durand's voice is godlike.
He is genius. His voice is identical to his personality. I'm not into musicals at all. But if he did a broadway musical i'm there. He is a natural comedic genius on top of as you said that godlike voice. I absolutely love him.
Broadway NEEDS this man!
@@iamthatartist I can tell that he studied prince because he’s like a classical modern day prince wow he’s a whole instrument I never heard of him until now
@@mccormick151428 Oh man! yeah! I see how you can say that. They both are flamboyant performers... enjoy mixing classical.... extremely gifted. But from watching Durand, his personality is mimicked in his singing.
Prince and him are a bit different. Prince was very serious and mysterious.
Durand is very open in personality... Fun and crazy and so is his singing. Prince was a perfectioinst with his music and subdued in his personality.
But I do get what you're saying about the similarities and that he probably did study him.
But I wouldn't have seen it had you not pointed it out because they look very different to me. Oh, how I miss prince...😔
He split his whistle note, which is something not everyone can do. Lalah hathaway does this very well... It's just a gift some people have. I'm glad durand is getting his props cause he is so dope!
Its called polyphonic whistle tone.
I thought I was the only one that heard that he did 2 notes during his whistle more. I haven't heard that in over a decade! Very talented!
@@amnjordan23amazing performance!
@amnjordan23 right!!!!
Durand has a theatrical approach to using his voice. He would really do well on Broadway. He's very fun to listen to.
Theatrical!! That is the word! And I love all the vibrancy he brings.
I thought that too.
To listen to and to watch
@@AS-qx3ik I agree!
You know what? I hadn’t thought about that, but you’re absolutely right!!!
The background sanghas was GIVING! and Durrand said they only had ONE rehearsal...chile! He's absolutely phenomenal.
Yesssssssss🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This explains the bass and drummer facial expressions 🤣
@@ardenkblackwell it was the bass player for me! 😂 he was like 🎸😳👀
Omg one rehearsal?? Absolutely amazing background singers
SWEAR
He is not afraid to sing. Let’s just say that. He is truly special. Thank you for this. ❤
Heavy on the not afraid to SING!
I LOVE Durand. His voice is phenomenal. He has EXCELLENT command and control of his voice. It's like he can make it do whatever he wants without much effort. He is a naturally talented singer. Just effortlessly flawless.
Facts, So damn good❤
Yes! You explained his voice perfectly. That’s so rare. I love it!
Exactly I soooo agree
Frrr he is so amazing. His voice is wonderful. Amazing control!
His range is outrageous
Yes I swear when he did that whistle I'm like yesssss
If y’all ever hear about him in concert Do Not hesitate to get the ticket , He Is AWESOME. He has so much energy , range and crazy showmanship . So much to be said about him
Underrated best kept secret!
I love Durand he’s the best male vocalist out there right now! I’ve seen him twice so far and lost my life both times he is absolutely incredible and I can’t wait to see him live for the rest of my life 😂
Omg! He has performed live?!
He just did a tour and had a great show in Atlanta last month!
@@Jaericlynn i saw him at Roots last June and saw him for his tour in Boston last month!
I love Durand’s voice! He’s like the next iteration of Stokley from Mint Condition. His style reminds me so much of Stokley.
Good catch!
Well said!
I agree! That’s exactly who I had in my head when listening to him !
Yesssss!
Agreed!!
I have mad Love for Durand. Ever Since I was introduced to him on The Terrell Show I've been a fan. Bought both of his albums and I just got to see him perform Live in early March. Incredible Live Performer 💯💯💯💯💯💯
I saw him in Chicago. Incredible 100%. ❤❤❤
Wow!!! Where did you see him? I got major goals to see him!!
Oh that would a treat to see!
Same!
What are the name of the two albums?
I know it’s not the point of the video, but can we take a moment to appreciate how amazing Jaron’s locs are??? You know he’s taking care of all that hair he’s blessed with. Okay I’m done 😂
You know! The quality and thickness 👌🏾🙌🏾
I thought I was thinking this by myself. My locs need to get in line, lol.
I thought I was thinking this by myself. My locs need to get in line, lol.
That man is an experience 😂.
I love his singing style, Almost jazzy , really nostalgic (70's & 80"s) those boy groups that had the really great lead singer. Frankie Beverly vibe, warmth and playfulness and just vibe setting. Love
I love this comment! You’re absolutely right!
Durand is so very special. He's outta this world. He's so talented that he could experiment with how he sings a song on the spot and it will still be amazing. He plays the keyboard and that probably inspires his instrument, which is his voice.
💯💯💯💯💯💯
He puts me in the mind of The Great Rahsaan Patterson!!! Flawless vocals!!! 🎶🎼🎵
Durand is an entire VIBE. His background singers and band are always on point.
THE WHOLE SESSION WAS🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 my ONLY complaint was that it was TOO SHORT!
I KNOW Ms. Erykah Badu IS SO PROUD! I would love to know what she thinks of Durand’s Tiny Desk concert. ❤❤
Those 22 mins flew
What is his connection with Erykah Badu?
@@lauriel.4667he has toured as one of the Baduists doing bgv. Also with Terron (middle bgv) in this video
@@lauriel.4667 He was the background singer for Erykah Badu. Search Erykah Badu Jazz Festival. Trust me you will throughly enjoy it Queen.
@@fullxeclipse Thank you!!🙏🏾
Knew he would take the #1 spot for the best Tiny Desk. Just amazing! The range, control, power, and emotion, just everything!
Honestly did! I didn’t think Jazmine could be touched in this style of singing but this was a vibe
No Usher is still #1
@@InThisSkin89 Usher did great, but his vocals did not do THIS. Nothing even close to the sorts.
@@karimsings4098 hmmm I can see where you're coming from, but I just love Usher's tone and sound much more.
Durand is a whole vibe all by himself! But baaaaaby, those background singers I was living for!
I remember seeing him for the first time, singing background for Erykah Badu, during her soul train awards performance. I picked his voice out immediately 🔥🔥
He's giving a Rahsaan Patterson vibe. So glad to see someone carrying forth that dynamic R&B vocal flavor. RP would have a whole different career if he was emerging in this era.
Agreed. He was ahead of his time BUT at least we got to experience his genius and fully support him
Durand is unreal! The range, tone, versatility, power in his voice... sheesh!!!!
This entire Tiny Desk needs its own review.....like frame by frame because they GAVE!!!!!!!!!! Lorddddd. Thank you for doing this Jar!
Absolutely!!!
Durand was here before, possibly from the late 60s or mid 70s. I’m convinced. Durand is a young Prince meets skinny D’Angelo, with a touch of Maxwell. I’m feeling it! This Tiny Desk was nothing short of spectacular! His range is all over the place from under the rail road tracks to somewhere 3 decibels above thunder. Durand is not only a singer, but he’s a PERFORMER. Give the man a Soul Train Music Award, a Tony, an American Music Award, and a throwback MTV Video award. (No, Grammy’s are biased and persistently diss real talent) Yes, Sir!
I haven’t finished the video yet but one thing that’s pleasing about Durand to watch is that his physical flow of movement adds to the freedom of his voice while you’re listening. You’re hearing his voice but you’re also WATCHING his voice through his movement. Bless himmmmmmm
It’s a testament to how you can hear things and DO THEM instantly and spot on. Only thing you didn’t go for is the whistle 😂
I'm so angry at myself for not knowing about Durand until his tiny desk performance! I'm listening to him nonstop to catch up on what I've missed.
Check him out on The Terrell Show. Multiple appearances. He's super dope!
If he comes to your city do yourself a favor and see him live. You won’t be disappointed.
also check him out on his own channel and They Have The Range -"Taco Tuesdays"
His song Below is my jam. It’s older but baby it STILL slaps
Thanks, everyone!! Will do!
Durand was doing the most per usual and I lived! He switched the genres of the tracks (rock for "stuck" and country for "relocate") and the opera ending where he was rolling the r... Love him!
his chest voice is remarkable! it’s doesn’t get talked enough. baritone artist with a great ear! also the BGVs my god. hey Jaron 😊
Durand's voice is the true epitome of what it means when ppl say a voice is an instrument!
He gives me moments of inspiration of Luther Vandross, pinch of Eric Benet, splash of Prince, some reminisce of early Stokley, and a whole portion of Durand!🔥🔥🔥🔥
OH MY GOODNESS!!! I haven’t heard such vocal majesty in a long time. He is majestic in every sense of the word. I could listen to him all day every day!!! This was actually my first time hearing hearing of this artist!!! Definitely not my last, for sure!
You can really hear his personality through his voice you can tell he loves what he does he sings so effortlessly you can't help but get caught up in it and jam out lol
Chile that man be SANGIN’!!!!!!!!
I just love the way you describe vocals. It's like describing visual art.
I think Layla Hathaway has explained how to perfect sub harmonies like how he did with that whistle tone
Yes! I thought of her performance with Snark Puppy, specifically.
I would love to see Lalah and Durand together on a project one day.🔥🎤
Chillllle, Durand ATE that up!
Omg!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 yeeeess!!! This performance gave me soooo much life the other morning! I love this man’s voice, theatrics and how he’s unapologetic about his music 💁🏾♀️💃🏾🎤❤️🔥👌🏾💃🏾🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
Love this and that you mentioned Rachelle Ferrell bc Durand really has that quality too! The only thing that's missing in this is a mention of Durand's BGV arrangements! Those were off the hook!!!
Prince was actually a baritone so that tells you where a voice can go if you practice.
This man is an incredible singer. His tiny desk concert has brought him lots of new listeners. I’m not comparing him to anyone, he has created his own league. Awesome video.
Yeah he an amazing singer his range his incredible. I used to be able to sing so well as kid but I stopped. My voice got deeper and when tried to sing now I realized I lost certain ranges of my voice that I could hit so fluidly as a kid
I always love how intentional, yet fun you are when you dissect others art, and then add your talent right up in there!
YES Durand!! +SLAPS TABLE!!+
Siiiiiiinnnnnnngggggg!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not you saying you butchered that run and you KILLED IT. Great Analysis as always!!
Man, I've said from the moment I found out (on The Terrell Show) who Durand was, I am enthralled by his talent, his showmanship and his freakin artistry! In concert he would entertain both visual and vocally. In short, he is a joy to listen to and to watch! Speaking of watching, Mr. Jaron, I got almost as much joy and entertainment out of watching and listening to your commentary as I did watching Durand. The joy in which you break this down to us is so infectious it just makes me smile....over and over again! Thank You!
I think that best describes Durand Free and Fun and he exudes that beautifully. He doesn’t conform to anything legit no restrictions and he sings like that and is so SMOOOOOOOOOOTH! 💙 I’ll Stan him forever promise you that! That man sings his face OFF!
Durand is ALWAYS a good time and vocal magic!!!!
Durand mic is ON!!!!!!!!
The background singers and the band are awesome too
Durand! Whew! I just threw my imaginary shoe at the wall! He IS my favorite internet cousin! I did my research and watched the Proud Family to understand the theme and connection and it is so HIM. I had the opportunity to see him on tour in Philly in March and at the Roots concert last year with my husband and he does not disappoint. He and his band is so talented and have the ability to bring so much JOY. What a blessing! #Wanderlusttour2023
DAAAYUM!!!!! I'm in Philly. Cannot believe that I missed him!!! 🥺😭
I love Durand!! Been following him for years, He is so talented! He gives you range, power, theatrics, the comedy, he is a full blown performer. ❤
I love Durand! He is so talented! If you get to see him live it’s one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. Such a good soul 💛. Glad he’s finally getting his shine! So deserved.
STOKLEY,Prince,Tonex…Stevie..Man Durand’s got it all
Man it is incredible how you can sing what he sang directly after. Thats crazy! Amazing voices both you and Durand!
I love this crazy, fun loving, foolishness giving, saaaaaannnnnnnngggging a$$ human being. I ENJOY him singing, skating, dancing, HERE for ALL of it! He is truly an artist. Love you too Jaron. Love watching you get sooooo excited about music! Thank you. I steal your critiques sometimes 🤣🤣🤣
His vocal approach reminds me sooo much of Rahsaan Patterson!!!!!
Oh yeeeah.
I LOOOOOOOOOVE RAHSAAN PATTERSON! 🎙
I've ran across his comments under Rashaan's videos quite a few times, stretching back from the YEARS he first started his YT channel. He's definitely an influence for him.
🎯
@@jacegainer3841 wow! See what I’m sayin!!!! It’s like this galactic influence! And the Universe needs to bring them together on a project. And if not…ijs. I want to see some magnificent things happen!!! Now is the time!! ❤️
Because of Durand’s out of the box style and refusal to be confined by definitions of art and genre, I think your commentary was on point! He’s an amazing artist and showman. I enjoyed the Tiny Desk and your analysis.🤌🏾
I'm so glad you decided to Durand.
I like that he uses his ENTIRE voice. It's like he uses his whole voice in every song and he does it without doing too much. He knows what to do when. Yebba said thesame thing. She likes that he uses his whole range regularly. I think that's why he flows through his range almost effortlessly. Because he doesn't overuse or over exercise any one part so the whole voice is strong.
I can tell you were genuinely turning your gears to explain what you heard and I love that for you! His tiny desk is def one of my faves
I have synesthesia, and your videos are like descriptions of what I see. Your analysis gives me literarily goosebumps! For example when durand was doing the whistle, I saw two lines, one very thin the other nearly breaking but next to each other and the thinner one vibrating … when I listen to sound, I see forms. Thank you so much ❤
That's really cool. Why don't you start a channel and explain how you see different songs? I would definitely subscribe!!!!!! Sorry, I'm not a native speaker...
@@rochoe7338 girl I already have a channel but that would be actually such a good idea !!!!!!!! Thank you ❤️
You're welcome ❤ I'll subscribe!
@arohani omg! You've been to germany?!?! Actually I am from germany LOL
@@rochoe7338 yes !!!!!!! I just subscribed to yours haha
I would love to see him on Broadway! His voice and energy would light up the stage
Your LOCS ARE GORGEOUS!! AND DURAND IS A ✨SUPERSTAR✨!!!!
Durand is a vocal class himself❤❤❤ amazing
Durand commin wit that big Main Character energy as always 😅 and I wouldn’t eva expect anything less ❤
His lower register is soooo dope!! Everything about that voice and energy is top tier!
I just KNEW you were gonna analyze more of the concert as the bgvs set it OFFFF!!! The sop sound they were giving with all the high notes had me like 😮💨🤌🏾
He’s the best artist I’ve heard this decade. Just effortless.
Check out Durand singing background vocals for Erykah Badu. Towards the end after Erykah is back back up to the stage, she asked Durran singing something till she got back up on the stage. It’s 2012 in Jakarta- he kills it and shows his vocal rang l. He’s amazing
He's immaculate, fun, free and exceptionally & eccentrically unique ❤
Ok Ohio stand up 🎉 he has an amazing voice . His range is sick!!
I didnt know his background, he is also a long time background singer for Erykah Badu, and comes from a musical family who has dabbled around with big artist: Whitney, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Rihanna, and Jill Scott.
And Earth Wind and Fire. Developed his soprano working with Philip Bailey.
He still is a Baduist
This is the BEST Tiny Desk EVAH!!!! Durand is phenomenal!!!! And his background SANGERS?! Hunn-teeeaaaa...I've been baptized in Lake Durand!!
Durand is a musical superhero! I love him to pieces.
Our favorite cuzzin on our daddy’s side is an absolute beast!💛💛💛💛💛
I enjoyed Durand’s performance. He can go live any day!
His voice is EVERYTHING!
My prayers were answered. I didn’t expect you to review the song so soon. 🙏🏾💕
Durand 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Just amazing. Thank you for providing some insight to his wonderful gift
So glad I found this ive watched this performance at least 10 times since it came out. Had no idea what to expect... AMAZING
One of the best vocalists on this here planet earth!! I love me some Durand Bernarr ❤❤❤❤❤
I love how pragmatic you are when it comes to singing and artistry...people do get bogged down with what is the correct tone or gold standard of singing...but you're right, there isn't one correct way, it's art.
Thank you for standing so strong in chiming in your support for this fabulous artist. Love everything he is doing !
He is amazing!!! got to see him sing bgv for E. Badu last year and whew! he sounds great live!!
I watched this NPR performance as soon as it dropped. It was fire ❤❤
Love Love Love Durand!!!! Shout out to my classmate on drums!!!! ❤❤❤
I love your soapbox moment! ART IS ART. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
WOW, WHO IS THIS MAN? THANKS GOT TO LOOK HIM UP. J. U THE MAN I learned SO MUCH FROM U😊
JARON! I 💛 YOU! Another excellent installment. Durand is magnificent, and watching this performance again with you was like ice cream with cake! #livelikeitsagift
I was waiting for you to cover this tiny desk!!! I wish you would've talked about his alternative version of "Stuck" too. He is just sooo talented!❤
To the background singers, to the band, and to Durand being Durand lol everything about this performance is awsome❤❤❤🔥🔥
Right on time. I logged on to watch his Tiny Desk performance for the 3rd time and saw you did an analysis. Such a treat. Gracias 🙌🏾💚🤗
I really appreciated your analysis! I heard you getting to those low notes ☺️. Durand was phenomenal.
Durand is a vibe. I first saw him on the Terrell Show.
This has to be one of your best analyses, as well as, one of the best I've seen of him, yet! DETAILS!! They just matter when speaking about someone such as Durand! This is a VOCAL!
Beautifully done, sir! 🙏🏼✨
I come to these videos to hear YOU sing Jaron!!! Such a fan of your beautiful gift!
Jaron cracks when he thinks butchered something. Even if the notes are exactly accurate. He still kills it on his own. Lol😂
I was seriously going to suggests this one. So glad you are covering this. DB took me OUT! 🙌
I want to be friends with both you and him. Your energy is so infectious and your respect for the art form is such a pleasure to behold. His singing is so playful yet masterful. He'd be tired of me as a friend lol. "Here friend, sing my Popeye's order to the cashier! Friend, give me a lil run real quick! Friend, let's harmonize on that horn we just heard!"
I made the earrings btw. 😅
You ate that!
Those stuck out to me as soon as I saw him❤️🔥❤️🔥❤❤
Omg beautiful! 🙌🏽
💚💚💚
