@@ugochukwualexandra7201 When she started her performance she said "My name is Amaarae, hailing from Accra,Ghana Ayekooo" or is it the English language you don't understand..? ok..no worries I got another option use Google search and 🤫
Great vibes. She has a light/airy tone and on some songs my ears were missing the support that a bass background singer gives (nerd moment) but when you could hear them it made everything more🔥🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾
The most impressing Tiny Desk Concert ever. 12 musicians on stage and the arrangement ist a dream, out of this world. Regards from a retired audio engineer from Germany.
this was toooooo good. I loved how the backup singers and the instrumentals were all just vibing. straight up fireeeeee!!! I also loved how I was able to see the little quirks
Can't believe much she's grown. Was completely blown away by her debut The Angel You Don't Know. Fountain Baby an amazing follow up, even though TAYDK still my personal favorite since it's more experimental. I love her take on Afrobeats. Amaarae is an amazing talent, hit maker❤❤❤ And she has so much swagg🥵🔥🔥
Amaarae's music got me through the most emotionally damaging, abusive job I ever had in my life. The moment I needed to dissociate and relax, her music was the first thing I put on. Love her and her band did amazing in this set
God bless Kaytranada for putting me on to this lady a couple weeks ago and God bless this beautiful performance! Much love to everyone experiencing this glorious occasion together!
I was obsessed with co-star when she first dropped it. My mouth literally dropped and felt joyful when i heard co-star live!!! Also I’ve played her new album Fountain Baby on repeat. Hopefully she tours in the US soon 😭
When I say I am living for Amaarae? She is so talented and-I'm gonna say it-"Fountain Baby" is one of the best album releases of the decade! As a 1st-generation West African who grew up during the 2000s-this album is so fun, nostalgic, musically innovative, and a breath of fresh air. She did it; Amaarae created a timeless record for the kids who grew up on Ashanti, Missy Elliott, P-Square, and Paramore 🙌🏾
Love her voice and her talented musicians & background singers. Made my musical listening moment -very happy & pleasant. Thank you 🙏🏾 Tiny Desk for presenting this musical gem. Happy “Black Music Month.” 🎤🎹🎸🎼🎵
I totally agree! At least it's the most highly critically acclaimed album so far this year (rightfully so too!). That ought to drum up some more recognition

Her new album is INSANE! My favorite of the year. So creative and fun
She has the best album this 2023
Janelle Monáe dropped a bomb. Give it a listen too. Amaarae is featured too
Just downloaded it
@@SriLankanStuffwill do
I completely agree! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 and already preordered the vinyl :)
Her natural speaking voice is deep, I didn’t expect it considering how light her voice is 😳
exactly what i thought
RIGHT
I need some vocal training to do this lol. I strain so hard just going a little above my speaking voice
nah she def sounds like her songs. just sounds like she’s singing. like how pink pantheress voice isn’t super bright
The opposite of Michele

@@candyjamaican what do u mean? its just the tracknames for anybody interested in looking for the songs on spotify or chords on google.
@@ati_modisdon’t mind them; a silly person. Good job! 👍🏾
Thank you for! Loved co-star.
Amaarae is incredibly talented and such a great representation of the power of Afropop. Thank you, Tiny Desk!
Afropop ❤. Smh 😃
This afro alte not afropo
Stop lying
@@kwameeugene2502alté is a subgenre of Afropop (or Afrobeats)
Amaarae's "Fountain Baby" was just named "METACRITIC's Official #1 Album of 2023" 🏆🥇 Congratulations !!!
The Ep is my fave of the year 🤤
Tiny Desk has always been great but lately they are locating and spotlighting such an incredibly diverse group of artists and genres and collaborations. It’s a real joy to be able to stream these offerings around the world !
It's how you can tell the band is really vibing with her performance
She's just straight up incredible. Fountain Baby album of the 2020's so far, I'm sure the Grammy's will miss it.
Yup they did🤧
Jajajajajajaja they did it and SHE SUBMITTED HER WORK FOR AOTY, grammys are clowns
Of course they missed it, also like the lady that sang escapism
They stay disrespectful toward black women who aren’t Beyoncé. Meg, Doja and Tinashe didn’t get any recognition after great years
🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
I love that all the band and back up singers are wearing t-shirts with her song lyrics!
Ikrrrrr now THAT'S marketing !!!!
I literally went to her website to see if she sells them or not....unfortunately not :(
I did not realize that thanks for sharing that info.🙂
I caught that and thought that was a dope touch💯💪🏾
@@aseyasiddiqua6125the Disguise shirt goes hard fr 😆
Tiny desk needs to make an album of it’s live performance and upload them to streaming platforms bc this is just too good
PLEASE !!!
Been waiting for one of the Alte Afrobeat folks to get to the desk. Amaarae has been shining from the moment she dropped her first music.
Fantastic performance from Amaarae❤. Ghana 🇬🇭 is proud!!
She is a Nigerian
@@ugochukwualexandra7201I know her parents. They are proudly Ghanaian.
@@revelation7070 she is a Nigerian lol

When she started her performance she said "My name is Amaarae, hailing from Accra,Ghana Ayekooo" or is it the English language you don't understand..? ok..no worries I got another option use Google search and 🤫
@@ugochukwualexandra7201 Dumb, just dumb
The live trumpet was an absolute necessityyyyy
Great vibes. She has a light/airy tone and on some songs my ears were missing the support that a bass background singer gives (nerd moment) but when you could hear them it made everything more🔥🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾
Agreed, sounds flat af
I def missed that control of her voice but she was killing those soft vocals
Her band is EVERYTHING. Such a 🔥🔥🔥 performance
The most impressing Tiny Desk Concert ever. 12 musicians on stage and the arrangement ist a dream, out of this world. Regards from a retired audio engineer from Germany.
I wish she sang more of her old tunes as well, bc they’re bangers as well!!
FLUID!!!
@@sibobanzana3811I was wondering if someone was going to say Fluid because it's on repeat at all times. Love it!
Facts..
Was hoping to hear fantasy!
I’m glad she did Hellz Angel tho 😇 it sounds great live. I’ll go listen to Fluid now haha
This was such a vibe. I'm loving all the artists for Black Music Month🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
