Hey Tiny Desk Fans, Check out NPR’s Black Stories, Black Truths - a collection of podcasts hosted by journalists who speak truth to power. Our voices are as varied, nuanced, and dynamic as the Black experience. And stories should never be about us without us. Listen now: www.npr.org/podcasts/510372/black-stories-black-truths
Truth. I'm a goner for the bass/baritone myself, and it's really heartening to see these lower register voices make it out of the traditional jazz/ballad circles and gain more representation in mainstream RnB, neo pop-soul scenes too!
Right!? It would probably be like that to meet this beauty of a man in real life. Someone go thank his mama, she did the best, an amazing job raising this man. 😍 I’m from the 562, too Giveon, come on home baby. 😍😂 🤤
Saw him open for Snoh Aalegra about a year ago. It was his mom's birthday and he FaceTimed her from stage to have the crowd sing happy birthday to her. I'm sure she's proud of this young man. A class act.
The background vocalist was reading Giveon's body language the entire time, that's why she knew exactly when to step in and when to pull back. I love that so much! 🥰🥰🥰
Slept on this guy but what an amazing artist he is His artistry, lyricism and he ability to capture a lot of people with the emotion he puts into his music. Amazing brother🔥
Always trippy when a singer sounds exactly like they sound on the record given all the autotune and voice editing these days. Super duper performance. "When It's All Said And Done... Take Time" is a masterpiece
@@willymartino watch genius and him. He sounds the same and theres no instruments or anything Some people have a tone to their voice that sounds like auto tune.
This performance gave me chills. Is anyone else curious about the end? The way he walked away, the genuine sadness in his eyes... . My heart felt that.
💘 please enjoy her while you are lucky enough to still have her Alive. 💘 You never know when they are not there anymore... I miss my Mom so much at times. Much Love!
I am so grateful for these concerts. Any other time I try to find live performances I can barely hear the artist because the audience is screaming the lyrics with them. So nice to be able to hear their voices raw, and I love live bands as well. Thank you NPR!
“Long Beach California?!” Wow when he sings to me he almost gives off a British accent. Which to me sounds fire. I might be alone on this...I’m willing to accept that😅😂
As Giveon talks about Black creatives and Black History. 🥰 I dont even care that he's a Pieces there's something about a proBlack man. Phew. Just me? Okay.
I loved the fact he represented the Pisces and explained his emotional attachment and how he creates his music. Pisces ♓️♓️♓️ in the building. (I love all signs though, beautiful people).... I wish he did Vanish or World we created! Love all his music though.

Any chance you guys gonna bring him back for another one?
Bring giveon back for a part 2 please 🙏
I did not know he was a Pisces. I guess that’s why I’m so drawn to all his music because I can relate completely.
@@life_of_xavierthey have too
He said “I don’t wanna keep you much longer”... Sir. Keep me as long as you want. My ears have been blessed
Feel free to check out my work, as I'm a young producer who makes stuff similar to this artist! Feedback would be very much appreciated!
Wow I said the same exact thing 😅
couldn't agree more
Deadass 🥺
Hello 👏🏽👏🏽
Giveon literally had ZERO bad songs. Dude is talented asf
Facts!!

Yess his music is timeless
Yes yes yessss
Feel free to check out my work, as I'm a young producer who makes stuff similar to this artist! Feedback would be very much appreciated!
Most r&b/soul male singers sing in a higher resgister, it’s refreshing to hear a baritone/bass.
Truth. I'm a goner for the bass/baritone myself, and it's really heartening to see these lower register voices make it out of the traditional jazz/ballad circles and gain more representation in mainstream RnB, neo pop-soul scenes too!
It’s true, tenor voices get all the attention
hes a baritone 🖤
Also try kadeem tryell :)
I totally agree with ya
Can u appreciate how he was vibing with his backing vocalists
PREEEEEAAAACH!!!
Duuude. I loved that SO much. ♥️💯
Yes!!
Right!? It would probably be like that to meet this beauty of a man in real life. Someone go thank his mama, she did the best, an amazing job raising this man. 😍
I’m from the 562, too Giveon, come on home baby. 😍😂 🤤
Yesssss I keep saying every time I watch this like yeah they together lol that’s how much they are vibing
That echo effect his supporting vocalist did was too fire.
ikr! i wish her mic was a lil louder 🥲
YESSSSS!
Fr tho
I love his voice already but yes, I wanted even more of hers! That echo was dope!
Yeah she definitely did her thang
the fact that his voice is HIS voice is crazy . his voice doesn’t need to be touched to sound good .
It’s really crazy!
@DeiLux77 huh????
So true! This TD has made me like home more. I feel like he sounds so much better here. His voice is too touched up for me at times.
yess!
To be fair it's all been mixed and that but yeah he has a great strong voice
Honestly, discovering Giveon's music was one of my highlights from 2020. He has such a unique sound
Sameeee
Same the one good thing to come out of 2020
Yes so true
On god
Omg yes! Listen to his Apple Music interview, it made me fall in love with him 😍
his voice is deep and soft at the same time.. like how🤯🤯
He’s so fine 😩
Baritone color, love that.
@@emilronhe’s not a baritone
@@BeauxLo He's definitely a Baritone. He's a lower one.
He is most definitely a baritone. I would say a perfect example of one actually
Saw him open for Snoh Aalegra about a year ago. It was his mom's birthday and he FaceTimed her from stage to have the crowd sing happy birthday to her. I'm sure she's proud of this young man. A class act.
Best birthday ever! I am very proud of him,thank you 🥰
Moms?? That you?
@@pearl1445 Woah

Imagine Masego and Giveon on a track... the f*ckin smoothest song ever created😂
A thousand times absolutely 😭😍😍😭

His voice can cure anxiety and sadness. Yup, this is a testimony.
Real talk I fr almost cried to this.

Facts
Only thing wrong w this is he only did 3 songs 😫😫
RIGHTTT!! talking about "i am not going to hold you long." WHAT??? we here for the long haul! what is he talking about lol
Agree I said please please Give-on 😋
Honestly hey
Indeed!
Unfortunately nearly all Tiny Desks Concerts are like 3 songs :(
the way tiny desk don’t EVER miss! Giveon, we here. Giveon always makes everything feel better🥺🥺
1 day ago ???
don't like this comment...the lucky sevens are awesome
I feel like I should have dressed up and got a date for this...
I sure did!!!
🤣🤣
I’m in my house like I’m at a stage show fangirling screaming squealing every thingggg😩😆😆
I felt this comment in my soul
I felt the same lol
The background vocalist was reading Giveon's body language the entire time, that's why she knew exactly when to step in and when to pull back. I love that so much! 🥰🥰🥰
For the people asking the backup singer is ravaughn brown
Was wondering nobody was talking about my girl!
I love her song best friend 💕 ❤ I heard it back in 2017, I knew she looked familiar
@@brontecunningham7875 she's amazing!
She's awesome!
Feel free to check out my work, as I'm a young producer who makes stuff similar to this artist! Feedback would be very much appreciated!
I think we should start a petition or something to get a Part 2 because this simply was not long enough....
Am in
PERIODT
This is exactly what I was thinking!!! 😩😭😭
Amen
Where do I sign??😭😭
When he said “I’m a Pisces and we’re emotional...” 🥺💙💙💙 Fellow water signs where y’all at???
pisces !!!
Here !!! ... I legit googled we have the same birthday 😩
Cancer 🥺😂❤️
Pisces!😍
Pisces ♓ gang March 10
How tf is his voice this beautiful. It literally blows my mind every single time . Just wow , god gifted this man in every aspect . 😩
Honestly he's so good
Canta muito 👏👏👏👏
Tiny Desk makes everyone sound a 100× better than they already do so I'll be surprised if Giveon doesn't give me an eargasm soon
Because it’s 100 real raw
Live instrument makes them better
Chicago Freestyle will do that, or the acoustic versions.
First song and its better than anything I could have ever imagined
Feel free to check out my work, as I'm a young producer who makes stuff similar to this artist! Feedback would be very much appreciated!
Bro he has one of the most beautiful and unique baritone voices I’ve ever heard, his tone is divine.
He is a rare blessing to the R&B community
PREACH
Fr
Amen to that young lady
I’m so blessed to still be alive in a time like this, especially to witness Giveon’s success 😩🥰
I AGREE!
Yep
Drake's great

And, Masego, Sabrina Claudio, Audrey Nunna, Matt Boyd, and Kamuuah!!!!
+ sza
givēon is such a heartwarming, kind, caring person bro.
i would literally pass away if i ever met him.
Always trippy when a singer sounds exactly like they sound on the record given all the autotune and voice editing these days. Super duper performance. "When It's All Said And Done... Take Time" is a masterpiece
He sounds even better live
He has auto tune live as well if you can’t hear it. It’s still there
@@willymartino with how unique his voice is, auto tune doesn’t make much of a difference. He’s nothing less of raw talent.
@@willymartino Maybe some reverb but I don’t think there’s insane auto tune.
@@willymartino watch genius and him. He sounds the same and theres no instruments or anything
Some people have a tone to their voice that sounds like auto tune.
The fact that his vocal is real life deep like that 😩😩
"Imma just assume you guys are clapping in your home" me crying
Your eye lids are clapping lol 😂
I was screaming
Yasssssss 👏
Golf clap so I don’t wake my roommate at 4 am
* Me clapping some cheeks in my room
This performance gave me chills. Is anyone else curious about the end? The way he walked away, the genuine sadness in his eyes... . My heart felt that.
"Pisces are emotional, maybe that's why I make songs like this"
Your soul and writing is beautiful Giveon
I been staring at him, respectfully.
Same🥺💕
RESPECTFULLY.
this is the part where i call you out as a simp but we shall forgive this one
The profile pic😂

THANK YOU
God bless you I can’t believe he didn’t do heart break anniversary 😭
Merci
Gracias
He’s so good live it’s ridiculous
"Can't wait to watch this with my Mom". I'm sure a lot of his specialness comes from her. Mom is so important in every life.
💘 please enjoy her while you are lucky enough to still have her Alive. 💘
You never know when they are not there anymore... I miss my Mom so much at times.
Much Love!
Finally my baby is getting his recognition🥺 I want him to myself but still
Omg Yes I felt that🥺🥺🥺
ikr i want him to remain my little secret but happy to see him getting the recognition he deserves
the warmness in his voice baffles me every. single. time.
I am so grateful for these concerts. Any other time I try to find live performances I can barely hear the artist because the audience is screaming the lyrics with them. So nice to be able to hear their voices raw, and I love live bands as well. Thank you NPR!
Giveon being a Pisces explains it all 😭
Don’t tell our business 😭😭😩😫 we’re in tuned with our emotions
Yesssss
Oh nah... a Pisces?!
man i was hoping for “heartbreak anniversary” 🥺🥺😞
Me too
Or garden kisses🔥
ong me too:(
Me 2
We all were 🥲😩😭
They should add the "heartbreak anniversary" 💕🤧
Who you tellinggggg
Your neighbor lol
tiktok pa
Not a tiktoker , I listened to all his songs , Bakit ? Tiktoker kaba dahil napansin mo ? Ikaw lang pala adik sa tiktok eh
Just saying the truth 🤧
Somebody better give that backing vocalist her flowers please💐
When I tell you I don’t get tired of hearing this mans voice!!! It literally makes me melt! I am a SUCKER for a baritone!!! It’s so creamy!
Creamy?????
Creamyyyy 👌🏾👌🏾
Say creamy
Feel free to check out my work, as I'm a young producer who makes stuff similar to this artist! Feedback would be very much appreciated!
@@cudionmars9698 🤣🤣
His voice is like velvet and honey
This is the perfect description
@@emily_355 Agreed! It's mesmerizing to listen to!
It doesn't make sense how that makes sense
FR IVE ALWAYS SAID HE GOT DAT HONEY
Shorty bodied those background vocals. This was great everyone did amazing.
At a time when RnB seemed gone, the new cats like him revived pure RnB.
Facts
sza, kehlani and brent faiyaz’s concert next would make my yearrrrr ✨
Yes to all of these!! Especially Brent!!
Oh my you are throwing out the 💎! They do this you are the goat if they perform this year....
Don't ignore the back singer she fire 🔥...
Him and Ravaughn need to collab on an actual song. Also I love how he was loving on the band and Ravaughn.
I thought that was her..!
“Long Beach California?!” Wow when he sings to me he almost gives off a British accent. Which to me sounds fire. I might be alone on this...I’m willing to accept that😅😂
I agree 😂😂
No, I thought for sure he was British!
I have the same issue. People tell me that I sound British as well.
Definitely not alone. I thought the same thing!
I had a similar thought
Ngl I was expecting a set list like Feilds, Vanish, Like I want You, Stuck On You. Honestly i just wanted Vanish ;(
I wanted vanish too!!! 😭😭😭
I was also waiting on vanish
You have been invited to the game :-}
For real I wanted Garden Kisses, Vanish, Favorite Mistake. It’s alright this peace we had of him it’s something. In life we can’t ask for to much!!
I would've also loved more song, vanish or even last time
every aspect of this man is just so fine.
Isn't!? Like girl he is sooo F. I. N. É, his face, voice, atitude, style like i'm Just 👁️👄👁️
@@claudinamoniz8198 YUPPP‼️
Imagine if he made a song with Daniel Caesar 🥺🥺🥺
i feel like he will
Him and H.E.R 🥰
a dream 😭
OMG TOO MUCH TO HANDLE MAN
literally
He is an incarnation of the greats. His pure heart, smooth vocals and emotional connection, is much needed in modern rnb.
WE NEED A BRENT FAIYAZ AND GIVEON TINY DESK COLLAB.
it would be a chef's kiss.😌
I feel so proud of him and I don't even know him. Watching him grow is so amazing 🥺 he sounds exactly like he does in the tracks too!
He out here eating his own CD’s
Can this pandemic be over so I can see this man perform live! 😭
Live is always better. He was nervous but his voice got comfortable. Love this man.
his voice is so therapeutic and angelic
This mans has to drop an album this year fr fr !!!
He did bro go check is little mini album it’s fire and he also posted a new song on his youtube
I’m expecting 100 songs from him this year nothing less
I just love how he admit he is emotional because his whole vibe is so beautiful. Im a cancer and i could connect to each song :-) I love him
I just adore GIVĒONs voice. His music is so peace
His voice sounds like something deep, something that doesn't exist
Yess Sis. I can actually feel it...crazy.
Like the undiscovered part of the ocean.
its really sounds like slowed & reverb
@@ryujinmidzy1291 I spent 2020 thinking this only to find out its natural I almost died
This was my EXACT thought!
Giveon : *sings*
Me (a straight male):🤰🏼🤰🏼🤰🏼🤰🏼🤰🏼
Word brother... Word... That dude does some mind trick with his voice 🤣
😂😂😂😂
OnG
Me to men who listen to giveon 🤰🏽🤰🏽🤰🏽
😂😂😂😂
His voice has to be the smoothest deep voice I’ve heard in my life and he’s slept on SO much
We're looking at an upcoming R&B legend
As Giveon talks about Black creatives and Black History. 🥰 I dont even care that he's a Pieces there's something about a proBlack man. Phew. Just me? Okay.
YES!!!+
❗️
Pretty sure his backup singer used to be a solo artist herself
Yeah Ravaughn had a few good songs. Same ole BS on the think like a man album is 🔥
She still is but I think she started as a background singer as well. Her sister Rhyon Brown is talented as well
@@josephcallahan4444 didn’t she work on Nas joint too ?
"Best friend" By Ravaughn, good throwback!
The way he walked off the stage though that was beyond smooth 💯
It’s a crime that heartbreak anniversary wasn’t performed but this was so beautiful 🥺
Her doing that echo in the back shook me ok siiiiiiisssssss
I loved the fact he represented the Pisces and explained his emotional attachment and how he creates his music. Pisces ♓️♓️♓️ in the building. (I love all signs though, beautiful people).... I wish he did Vanish or World we created! Love all his music though.
signs mean nothing, grow up
The artistry is just off the charts. Reminds me of when Mr. Frank Ocean started to pop off. Just pure vibes, god bless you Giveon!
Man I miss this of him too.
ok but when are we gonna talk about how effortless the background vocalist looked when she made that echo for stuck with you????
Amazing vocal control 🙌🏻
My cancer heart knew he was a water sign. The emotions in his music is so impeccable. 🥺😭
He’s been the only the only artist that’s kept my attention this way in the last 6 months. That album is 10/10
Y’all wouldn’t believe how many times I play this video everyday. This is by far my favorite performance on TH-cam.
I mean anyone else notice RaVaughn?!! his background singer is a SANGER herself!
This is the comment I was looking for! She's super talented!!!
Who is she? Let us know! Lol
@@NicaSoPretty1 she is a dope singer!! Look her up on YT! I love her voice she music
RIGHT LOL doing her own echoes and what not!
Stop stop stop I didn’t even realize 😭 not your back up singer is that deal on her own. It has been so nice meeting him and his music today!
he's here apologizing for taking our time and I'm talking to the screen like "TAKE YOUR SWEET TIME BOY. DRAAAGGG THIS OUT PLEEEASSEE!"
Giveon: For those that don’t know me, my name is Giveon.
Me: The real ones know, Giveon. 💯
😍
Facts
lol that's right
@@rushjl92 you know the vibes.
You’re handsome
