Yes the undeniable sincerity of a story teller that proves transcendental of gender, race and so many other traps...Joan Amartrading and Tracy Chapman can rest knowing that relevancy is not lost on ears... be well in all things. NPR could fund any and every program if they would release their catalog of recordings as fundraiser-albums/EPs.
Couldn't imagine a better way to come back, the hole vibe it's just so representing, hope, joy in the midst of everything. It's just perfect, and that voice!!! Neffy
Congrats! I love Neffy's voice. I hear Lauryn Hill, Beyonce , Adelle , and Tracy Chapman in Neffy's timbre and sound Very beautiful style music vibe Spirit and execution. I enjoyed this performance.
What an incredibly talented and soulful person - a fitting way for the tiny desk to return! I had tears rolling down my cheeks for almost every song, the lyrics have such special meaning for me right now. Thank you Neffy
i wasn't expecting for her speaking voice to be as soft as it is. her singing voice is full of .. EMOTION. this was beautiful. thanks for introducing such an amazing, talented & beautiful QUEEN!
The Tears of Pure Joy are just flowing out of me right now!! 😭😭😭😭😭 Not sure if it is her soulful vibe or the full circle moment of Tiny Desk for her, but the emotions that are happening right now are breath taking and refreshing all at the same time! Thank you Neffy, You have changed my whole mindset for the day, maybe even for good! 😍 And Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Bob Boilen for your Impeccable taste in Music and these Amazing Artists and Musicians as well. You are a blessing to us all, thank you for allowing All of Us Access to your Tiny Desk! Much Love!! ❤❤❤
Beautiful. I love so many types of music ( I think I break youtube's and spotify's AI) but nothing gives me shivers more than a person, a guitar and talent. Neffy gave me shivers. Thanks NPR.
Reminds me on a young Tracy Chapman, I'm sure she will be around for a long time, talented, humble and just beginning to spread her wings. Looking forward to hear her blossom and grow.
Her voice, like sitting in the wet sand while calm warm gentle waves sweep around me moving me where they desire. She deserves a song about the beauty of her skin, her lips, her soft shoulders, her feminine hands, but some things are better when they remain known and not taught. Thank you for your music.
i love her 🥰🥰❤❤❤ i'm so glad to see another real, black and femme artist to look up to (along with the desk!) nvm her ending just made me burst into tears, she's literally the cutest thing ever
Your songs have a sad tone to them, but my goodness listening to you makes me feel like I'm sitting in butter-soft, lush, emerald grass on a beautiful warm spring day, with a ring of daisies around the crown of my head. The breeze softly kissing my skin as it makes its way through my billowy sun dress. You, precious one, have a beautiful gift. 💛
@@nicolapowell7730 I'm a writer who has lost her way. To be inspired to such a depth is absolutely stunning for me. She just made me feel, so deeply. I think thats the most amazing gift that people can give us. To inspire and feel again. How blessed I feel to have crossed the path of this gorgeous soul! And thank you for allowing me to feel so validated in this beautiful moment in time.
I absolutely cannot wait to see all that this gifted goddess does!! her musical creations that sound out into the world through that soulful voice awakens something inside of me… I’ve been crying and smiling and laughing through this video and others over and over again. she’s once in a lifetime; the real deal.
Please come to London, UK! I dream to hear you sing live, such a unique voice and your lyrics speak to my soul. Can't imagine why someone would give your video a thumbs down. Please make more music and release it!
Great range, great tone, great control, presence beyond your years, I want to see you sing with Nate Smith and Kinfolk. That is the best compliment I can offer.
Sounds like a symphony of Tracy Chapman intertwined with Adel - but still completely this breathtaking human's own - thanks again NPR - Neffy You. Are. Beautiful... Thank you❤️
So beautiful, love her voice and inspiration . One of my dreams is to perfom at Tiny Desk, I know it is hard but not impossible. Thanks for bringing good music to us

I was thinking the exact same thing! What talent!
First person I thought of 5 seconds into the performance

Sure "Wait Up' is a little like a Tracy Chapman number, but not so "Like You Did" or the others... she is unique, and brilliant!
That’s what I was thinking
“Closest thing to a kiss is a bottle on my lips” - write, gal!!! 😃❤️❤️
