    Durand Bernarr is an experience. At the Tiny Desk, members of his band - clad in costumes evoking characters from the Disney Channel animated series The Proud Family - surrounded Bernarr, outfitted in a white and magenta sequined ensemble with a wig styled in a pompadour, channeling the electric energy of the soul and funk singer of the Proud Family, Uncle Bobby.
    More than an experience, Bernarr is a skilled singer. He's gained a following from his catchy albums (including his most recent, Wanderlust), his time spent backing Erykah Badu on tour and his appearances on BET programming. His voice jumps from robust baritone to clear falsetto with ease. Every song takes on a different musical character as he curates the show needed for each audience.
    When reflecting on his visit to the Tiny Desk, Bernarr remarked, "I had to show on this platform I'm so much more than just R&B." And he did just that, using, as he put it, "a smooth, alternative James Brown, vaudeville jingles, Quiet Storm, Chanté Moore, jazz, R&B, Patrice Rushen, hip-hop, bluegrass, country, musical theater, house, funk, opera, rock..." to showcase his showmanship at its peak.
    Bernarr told the Tiny Desk team: "I'm not meant to be understood; I'm meant to be experienced." I imagine not many Tiny Desks experiences wrap up like his did: with a shirtless performer going into a dip and Diana Ross-in-Mahogany-style twirls, and then weaving his way through the audience supplying hugs and high fives.

    Only Durand can have background vocalists this good. They sound better than most lead singers, all by themselves. But then Durand opens his mouth, and you immediately know why they need to be so good, lol.
    His tastes are simple. He's easily satisfied by the best.
    Beyond that, exceptional talent all around. From the band to the silky smooth pipes, they are all world-class and a privilege to listen to.

    I watch a lot of tiny desks. A lot of great performances across all musical genres. There hasn’t been a better intro/first song “ leveled” than this performance. The ranges, sounds, harmonies, eloquence, grit, raw talent, polished time of commitment to art is simply remarkable. DB is that force, that experience and his backup singers are arguably the best I’ve ever heard. That band is sensational. These folks know exactly what they are doing on so many levels.
