AwesomeFlotsam are you freakin nuts? Guess you’re used to marginal musak from another new generation “marginal”. This is sadly pathetic. NPR need to can this line of mediocrity.
I'm really disappointed in the hate she's receiving in the comments. Miss Universe is an amazing album and I don't think I could love any album more than it in 2019. I didn't find it harder to appreciate her music just because I couldn't initially understand some lyrics. Honestly, it sounds more to me like a stylistic choice (which other musicians also employ) that she only started playing up on in her first album and it was a refreshing and daring choice for a debut, worthy of appreciation. I mean if it isn't for you, I get it but don't talk like she doesn't know what she's doing as an artist "mumbling her words" because, from the directions she took with her album, I'm sure she knows exactly what she's doing.
It’s interesting to me how many criticizing comments there are here (from English speakers) about not being able to understand the lyrics. I think this says more about the listener (and maybe the norms of the forum) than the artist. While I recognize the desire to comprehend what’s being communicated, I encourage people to consider that it’s not necessarily the intent of the artist to be effortlessly understood in a way that’s immediately convenient to the way we understand the same general language. ...that sometimes it takes more effort than we’re used to connect with creative expression. ...that sometimes we as an audience won’t understand things in the way in which we expect. ...and that this is okay. Maybe it’s the freedom of expression on the side of the artist, and a corresponding effort on the side of the audience to try harder to understand, which makes room for a valuable connection that lies beyond the convenience of immediate recognition. 🙏🏽
It's always a fine line between the artistry and feeling of quashed consonants, and the desire to understand the lyrics. There's preternatural enunciation of Ella Fitzgerald's singing every letter perfectly. I think there is an element of Americans not understanding working class English accents. In this case I think the mumble style detracts. I also confess I didn't really warm to her music in general. It was too anodyne for my tastes. I'll take Dermot Kennedy (can't understand a word sometimes, ah but when I do...!)
I would much rather listen to some orchestral music if that is the case. I'm not sitting here deconstructing and analyzing her songs in order to actually enjoy it. Very lovely voice though but as a fellow Londoner she does not convey any meaning or enticement to me with her mumbles. She's from the same place I am and I can't understand her, that says a lot.
When I heard Nilüfer has performed at NPR Tiny Desk, I got so excited because I thought it's a great chance for her to expand her audience. Because Miss Universe got many great reviews but did not get the recognition it really deserves yet. But I got very disappointed by the comment section, it is very different than I ever expected. Miss Universe is the album that excited me the most in last few years and such a great treasure to find. I think that she brought something new and exciting to the music industry finally and even if you wouldn't prefer to listen to her music, you should at least admit that.
Oh, this is the tiny desk I have been waiting for ever since I stumbled onto her music last year. And this did not disappoint. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much.
@@jimlovesgina yes she's a Londoner, her Turkish side is really irrelevant. No one cares where (add name of any musician here) parents was born. She grew up in Chelsea, one of the wealthiest areas of London.
All the way from Las Vegas, NV.. Shouts out to Tiny Desk/NPR for selection, production and introducing me/us to this talented group. (Fantastic description btw.) Mad Respect Nilufer Yanya for developing such a primordial, funky an disciplined sound of your own fun transitions and builds!
I am not a native English speaker and I understand everything she is saying. Wanna know how? Cuz I am curious and interested in everything that’s happening. When you’re intrigued, interested, curious, you look forward to understand all ways of expression and message. The problem nowadays e that if the content isn’t being totally delivered during the 1st minute of the song, we tend to be no longer interested. We’re getting use to be formatted, to restrict our imagination, possibilities and stop fertilizing new fields for thinking and emotions. Make your own movie out of this experience and don’t let yourself be told what is right or wrong..instead, think for yourself and that includes listening more, acknowledging originality, appreciating all that creativity and fierceness into putting out something so unique, before judging. Music should be wider. Great artist and musicians !! 🙏🇵🇹
Nilüfer Yanya and Julia Michaels are the best vocalists of the current generation. They deserve all the praise, accolades, appreciation and everything else. Incredibly talented song writers and performers
I discovered Miss Universe a month ago and have listened to it a few times now. Great album, such a pleasant surprise to find the behind the desk. Go check out the album everyone! Great performance.
Still so cross that I discovered Nilufer Yanya the day after she performed in my nearest city. This performance is flawless, and I love Jazzi Bobbi on the keys and sax!
It's one of my fave songs from Miss Universe. It's a highly underrated song, and it's gotten some of the coolest chord and dynamics changes I've seen in a pop/rock song. One moment she sounds almost like soul and alt jazz, and the other, she rips into that guitar like Kurt Cobain. So original.
"I don't know anyone who sings like Nilüfer, but I'm reminded of Astrud Gilberto singing bossa nova." Actually reminds me of her countrywoman Joan Armatrading (responding while listening to Baby Luv)
YES!!!! for me THE newcomer 2018/2019! Love the album Miss Universe! Wished they played my fav. song 'safety net' thou, looking forward to their show in Berlin in Nov.!
i saw an article(didn't read it yet) on The Guardian's news site, and came over here to listen for the first time...very very impressed, good job and good luck!
It's sad that we live in a day and age when artists like her never see the charts (at least in America). I hope the future will bring back true art and musical diversity.
I LOVE how NPR curates artists for their Tiny Desk Concerts. Bob and team are geniuses for finding and selecting this wide range of amazing talent. Every time a video is uploaded, I have to click on to hear it. No chance for me to dislike such incredible music!
Chase Edmonds Can you give some examples of the ”out there stuff”? I’m not sure which ones you mean (I haven’t watched the Come from Away since i’m not a fan of musicals)
People really have trouble understanding her? She has a fairly standard English accent. So many sheltered yanks here. Glad she's not singing in the standard vaguely American singing voice that so many singers adopt.
Her singing voice is not a standard English accent, it's more like a posh person trying to be edgy, which is weird because she doesn't sound the same when she's talking. "Sooner or laytaaar." Nobody talks like that.
Well from what i have heard im not an expert in anyway but singing usually gets rid of an accent unless youre intentionally adding the accent to have a different sound. She is an amazing singer though great voice
She's incredible. Not only is she playing rhythm AND lead, but she's singing as well. Miss Universe rules, Nilufer rules, and that is all.
sooo gooooood

@@DanielC__ wth 😅
i agree she's wonderful & brilliant, but she isn't playing any lead guitar.

What hate? I only see positive comments.
Carrément Jazzy , un rythme addictif , alors forcément on peut comprendre que ceux qui aiment la musique facile n'aiment pas ....

Songs:
Baby Luv 0:00
The Unordained 3:21
Angels 7:40

Miss Universe is one of the most underappreciated albums of this year

Her new album is phenomenal!
I’ve been hooked on midnight sun 🌞
One of the most charming punk soul ever!
I've been looking for the words to describe her music
Oh, this is the tiny desk I have been waiting for ever since I stumbled onto her music last year. And this did not disappoint. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much.
There are many talented musicians from Turkey actually, it's great to see those guys here!
I really recommend "Altin Gün." They play funk music, similar to Selda Bagcan.
@@moritz471 Ey widda bumbaclaart gozaimas
she's from the UK...
her father's turkish. also that's got nothing to do with totally garbage current turkish music.
@@recklessanil she still isn't FROM turkey.
Not sure what exactly people really didn't like about this. I couldn't understand all the lyrics but I could definitely feel the music regardless.
Here since her earliest days. Still can't believe how big she is now. I'm proud of her :)
Made me late for work, but I watched it all.
Worth it
lol... same here!!!
She has So much talent... I feel u!
It was such a pleasure to listen this also as a Turkish person I'm so happy to see and know talented musicians of Turkish descent take place at npr.

Great artist and musicians !! 🙏🇵🇹
Allah ım çok gurulandım bu platformda gördüğüme
Dang... Love their sound with that sax in it.
saw her in minneapolis. the unordained stuck with me long after the performance. just beautiful
I love her music 🥰🥰
Miss Universe became one of my favorite albums after watching this tiny desk. Her instrumentation and voice control are superb
Omg, she's so lovely and her music full of different mood and shapes !! Not easy doing live, so Applause 👏💪🤘👍💘🎼🥰🤞🍀
one of the best nprs ive seen, the intro on last song kills live
I hear her on 88.5 WXPN in philly all the time and really like her. Good job tiny desk!
sometimes I discover some music that I can't get enough of, that happened today, lucky me
That sax and guitar combo….. unbeatable
This is really good I don't understand why I like it so much its very Minimalist but still very complex
Found her through a 2019 retrospective on a blog somewhere. So glad I found her music. Angelic creative works. 2020 is yours, Nilüfer!
They were amazing live, Nilüfer was such a revelation.
just so good. loved the addition of the sax as well
Feelings dont need words nor do emotion, this music is warming and very powerful!!!
Nilüfer Yanya and Julia Michaels are the best vocalists of the current generation. They deserve all the praise, accolades, appreciation and everything else. Incredibly talented song writers and performers
It's disgusting how much talent this girl has.... Hats down with all my respect... This band is on my Playlist for sure 💯✌️😳 from now on!!
Arrr one of my new favourites.
I discovered Miss Universe a month ago and have listened to it a few times now. Great album, such a pleasant surprise to find the behind the desk. Go check out the album everyone! Great performance.
Wow, that saxophone. Awesome.
Still so cross that I discovered Nilufer Yanya the day after she performed in my nearest city. This performance is flawless, and I love Jazzi Bobbi on the keys and sax!
So nice!
фу
So effortlessly good! She’s truly one of a kind
That riff she’s playing during The Unordained is so sick! So talented

All four of you are excellent on those instruments.

man I love her
I love this performance and artist, absolutely stellar!! So creative and passionate
Me encantan sus propuestas artísticas, que viva la música y el arte, saludos desde Bogota Colombia
LOVED THE SOUND, FANTASTIC. CONGRATULATIONS!!
Love this! favorite new artist.
She’s gorgeous. I’m in love.
She's rad! She tore off a guitar string at a concert, cut my head off and put it on
You got a cool vibe Nilufer! Nicely done y'all!! ✌😀👍
Drummer is great. Very tasteful and funky and aware. Good job drummer guy.
Brilliant! Very interesting, emotional and original songs. Bravo!
i saw an article(didn't read it yet) on The Guardian's news site, and came over here to listen for the first time...very very impressed, good job and good luck!
live laugh love nilüfer yanya
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I wish Baby luv went on for like 20 minutes!
It's sad that we live in a day and age when artists like her never see the charts (at least in America). I hope the future will bring back true art and musical diversity.
@Bleek Chain Couldn't have said it better :)
Artists like this have never really topped the charts. It's not a new problem.
To the sound man - Great job!
I don't know what it is but I'm so absolutely drawn to this music 🤩
Amazing talent! One of the best out there...
Saw them when they opened for Sharon Van Etten at the 9:00. They're wonderful!
A fine example of how effective a fairly simple instrumental part can be.
Love this set,Wow the Band was Kool that Synth and Sax player Nilufer you know how to pick them. Thank you all and please Stay Safe
The kids are doing juuuuust fine...
I love baby luv so much
So jazzi bobbi has been playing for Nilüfer, whilst I've been waiting for new music, not mad coz i love Miss Universe.
THIS IS SO GOOOD!!!!!!!
Angels gave me goosebumps 😳
I don't see a single negative comment here and I've scrolled a lot?
Yeah right? I'm doing the same 😂
I LOVE how NPR curates artists for their Tiny Desk Concerts. Bob and team are geniuses for finding and selecting this wide range of amazing talent. Every time a video is uploaded, I have to click on to hear it. No chance for me to dislike such incredible music!
Pure artistry. She’s channelling a higher force! Dom and Sim 💕
Always cool how the UK is still hip to guitar bands. Another awesome artist. Gonna check out more!
People who are bothered by not understanding what she's saying would probably HATE cocteau twins
or any shoegaze bands 😂😂
Yoh not gonna lie but NPR has been chucking out some OUT there stuff recently. But this did me in, I love it!
Chase Edmonds Can you give some examples of the ”out there stuff”? I’m not sure which ones you mean (I haven’t watched the Come from Away since i’m not a fan of musicals)
Discovered her on Jools and now playing Miss Universe endlessly. So good to hear her singing with a London accent.
Wow so proudly that i cant describe
Wonderful!
Love it ❤️👏
People really have trouble understanding her? She has a fairly standard English accent. So many sheltered yanks here. Glad she's not singing in the standard vaguely American singing voice that so many singers adopt.
If you're processing the content of the words you're not listening hard enough to the sounds.

Well from what i have heard im not an expert in anyway but singing usually gets rid of an accent unless youre intentionally adding the accent to have a different sound. She is an amazing singer though great voice
I’m spanish and i understand her😂
Cronykil very few people sing exactly like they talk
I'm really digging the vibe the band is emitting
angels was perfect
now that's a musician
The band is so tight - whew!
sounds amazing .. reminds me of tune yards
Yet another Tiny Desk performance that I prefer over the recorded material! Really wish these versions were downloadable. Oh, well.
Guess what, they are. Google it.
Tiny desk has a dope podcast thats downloadable
@@Barberserk where?? On their website you can only play them, there is nothing to download
@@awdadwadwad1723 From here then. And if you can play them on their website, then you can also download them, even if there is no button.
@@Barberserk pff so i can directly download those from youtube... I though there is somewhere a proper hi-res download
Reminded me of Joan...not my mother....Joan Armatrading ! I was walking under ladders, listening !
she is perfect love from turkey ::))))
I live near Cologne, I watched this amazing performance the day after Nilufer toured in Cologne.
I have no idea what this is exactly, but it's fantastic.
Great to see a Turkish girl in NPR. Go girl!
lol
She isn't turkish haha
Süper
An incredible style- my style!!👍🏻
get (sandy) alex g on here
This is phenomenal
wonderful guitar (the instrument and the playing)
Saw them at a house party in Miami absolutely fantastic live!
It’s 2:35 in the morning looks like I have a few minutes to kill before bed.
