- The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Rising reggae star Lila Iké has an all-encompassing vibe, and you can feel it in this Tiny Desk (home) concert. Lila and her crew of musicians outfitted a home in Jamaica for this video, and the layout resembles the Tiny Desk's home in Washington, D.C. I was thrilled to see that Lila performed her hit single "I Spy" for this quarantine concert; it's full of the flair I've been missing the last several months. Lila's vocal agility can bend notes and transcend genres, the kind of voice that makes you want to turn to your friend at a show and say "Is she for real??" On "Solitude," she blends avant-garde R&B with contemporary reggae in a hauntingly elegant song complemented by violinist Sean "Ziah" Roberts. "Thy Will" (which borrows from the iconic reggae rhythm section Sly & Robbie) ends the set with an uptempo banger. I hope these vibes have a lasting effect and provide a tropical respite during the fall and winter months.
SET LIST
"Solitude"
"I Spy"
"Forget Me"
"Thy Will"
MUSICIANS
Lila Iké: vocals; Kristoff Morris: drums; Dane Peart: bass; Wade Johnson: keyboard; Stephen Forbes: percussion; Stephen Welsh: guitar; Ovasha Bartley: vocals; Tori-Ann Ivy: vocals; Sean "Ziah" Roberts: violin

How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.

Well said. Another way: if someone made something - not for you - and called it yours, would you call it yours? Why?

A beautiful Island filled with legends but these young artists like LILA, SEVENA and JAH 9 etc...are fire !!
The ladies singing the background vocals are on point.
True

Waited for that comment. The tonality to double Lila is literally on point. 👏🏻
Hands down the best ive heard!
She reminds me of Erykah badu...her style, grace, and delivery...I love her music, new fan!
That’s what had drawn me to her too
Actually she’s cooler! Not Jafakin!
Avery talented vocalist,can't imagine the sound of her n Rihanna n HER.salute
Thought exactly the same
The vibrato from lila is amazing
I am really here for my peace of mind, Lila's voice, the Violin/bass. Pure Jamaican Vibes Mi Breddah.

The return to this vibe is daily and a must❣️ Blessings for the placements so I can get right to the vibe, or when my soul need it I just let it permeate the air💫✨🔥🙏🏽🙌🏽💚🖤💛😎🤙🏽💃🏽
Thy will!
🙏🏽
This is the vibe we want in the house today.
right
Lila Ike has natural talent that is really on a different level. The band, the mood and vibe is unbeatable.
I really like the new school of Jamaican female artists. Their sound is so fresh and refreshing, especially this one, Lila Ike. Her style is not flashy, but it's the natural look and her great singing style voice which makes her so amazing. I expect huge things from her.
Some others not just Jamaica..try awa fall..a Rasta.sister. try nattali rize.. Australian.. aboriginal?. Hip hop . Lady leshurr.. Nadia Rose 🌹..and then..sampa The great. Awa from.senegal. ..sampa.zambia. Lady and Nadia England then sa-roc mereba.... Yes young female talent. Times.be.good. praises blessings Jah Herb
Ofcourse
Got a chance to catch Michael Kiwanuke a few years back - even though I don't listen to mainstream radio, I SO appreciate Tiny Desk series for the chance to catch recent generations of PHENOmenal musicians of color I'd not likely ever hear. This young artist nails it!
Yes, yes. You are right. There is some seriously good talent stirring up jamaica right now....
jamaica big for music
Again thank you NPR for exposure to such a vast array of artists and music! Love this - thank you Lila!
A beautiful natural Black woman with natural amazing talent ❤️❤️❤️✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
vdd
But I never heard her before and now I’m in love
Me too 💙
@@aliyahkhalid2837 me too
My thoughts exactly. She is so talented
Nice !

It was the intro for ME 😬 oh Gosh 👌🏾
Pretty sure Bill Gates is already giving you plenty
Solitude is the ultimate quarantine jam when you're an introvert that hasn't been alone in almost a year ;(
You are strange introvert in such case. Introvert should like to be alone, right? So, I don't get Your sad emoji. Are You sad because You couldn't be alone for a year before? )
I'm an introvert and I haven't been able to be alone stuck in the house with my family. I love them, but there is no "me time" right now... it's feels like Im "always on" bcuz everybody is around. I miss the kids being at school and husband at work. I even appreciate the alone time I had during my work commute now... I totally understand. But we're well and safe so I don't complain. A ride to the grocery is now an experience for me lol 😅
The locs, fro, bantu knot, and a touch of Violin got me holding a whole VIBE.. AYEEE
Locs sister say locs, as the word dreads is derived from the word dreadful. I’m sure you agree with the fact that everything about this video is beautiful and heavenly. Stay bless sister, jah bless ✊🏾
That violin. Yeah
@@lenardhibbert6804 got it. Corrected. Thank you
@@lenardhibbert6804 thank you :)
Yes my love indeed...Lila makes me relax after a stressfull day
I discovered one of my favourite artists today. Thank you NPR Musid
🇯🇲
Me too
Me three. The girl is jammin.
The background singers are a vibe and the violinist 🔥
These background singers should be kept. They compliment the vibe so well. Reminds me of Sade.
Lila Iké is definitely one of the best!💐 Much love sis.🫶🏽💜🩷💜
Almost looks like they managed to sneak-in NPR's office, nice job film crew and sound engineer :)
This is a smoke room at itopia life (medical marijuana dispensary)
Seen, was thinking it was Protoje’s Yard
nick124 me too. Swear he has a place called itopia. Lila shot Solitude there.
👍🏾
Cant take my eyes off the background singers!!! yall are giving me the feels
same !
Absolutely!
that lil vibrato thing she does w her voice is so beautiful, I like her she's dope 🔥
caught that too...unique for the genre
well said
I agree
syncopated as well I think. Incredible.
I love it too. Her voice is magical and so unique.
One of the best in the new generation of reggae artists ❤
Wow. Reggae mixed with funk mixed with Celtic fiddle mixed with blues .....
I didn't hear no Celtic Fiddle, the Violinist is self taught so he was playing something else.
Sevana next NPR!!!! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
YES !!
Yesssss 🇯🇲 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Yessssssss!!
Yeahhhhhhha!
Yesssssssss
Tiny desk notifications are the only ones I click on without asking is this worth my time. Tiny desk is always worth the time.
Real talk!
Agreed...never disappointed
Facts
Preach
Correct😊
The description says "Lila's vocal agility can bend notes and transcend genres, the kind of voice that makes you want to turn to your friend at a show and say "Is she for real??"" and that is exactly what I did as soon as I heard the first song in this set. Lila Ike is my new favorite artist~ ~such smooth vibes~
check her dubplates. they're nasty good!
Love how much fun the backup vocalists are having
Cho 🖤💚💛 Jamaican again. MASSIVE country..eety bitty land space😜
Yall the real MVP’s for getting Lila on here! 😍 Protoje, Sevana, and Mortimer NEED one too! So much talent coming out of JA! ❤️
And Chris Malachi

She makes me so proud to be 🇯🇲 I just need a her ft on a song Ari Lennox n I will be complete

Truer words have never been spoken

Me too!! We have some super supreme talent!!
100%, I’m glad Jamaican artists and not just artists influenced by Jamaica are getting the recognition they deserve.
Big up to her backup singers! I spy talent! I can’t wait to revisit Jamaica 🇯🇲/ take me back home!! As’E
This may have been the best band intro ever seen on a Tiny desk
She's the REAL DEAL...sounds just like her studio version. NATURAL TALENT! Big-up yuhself Lila. 💜🙏🏼💜
Agree
It’s a little late but I love tiny desks for showing me vibes from new artists! ⚡️
never too late fam
Yes!! Lila Iké on Tiny Desk. My favorite artist in 2020, been rocking her new album since they dropped recently. Beautiful voice soulful vibes & phenomenal artist.

Caribbean vibe like afrobeats inna rudegirl vibration 🔥 🔥
Shes a queen love her too much looks, natural voice and she cook too😂 this woman has everything!!!
Yes
Sevana on Tiny Desk next please! 🙏🏽
Love Lila"s voice, stage presence and beauty. When this lock down is over hopefully she comes to Canada🤞🤞❤
Vancouver please!!
It’s the background singers doubling as background dancers for me lol ! This whole set was a BIG VIBE. Love to see it.
Ms. Lila has the best voice I’ve heard in a while seriously, her slung forget me helped me thru a hard time. Her voice has so much souls, and range it’s epic to hear 👂🏾
If you’re watching this as a Jamaican and not be proud something wrong with you. Props to Lila for doing her thing and keeping it authentic
If you're a Jamaican and not be proud something wrong with you. :)
true
Trini here 🇹🇹 VERY proud of the talent from JA making waves all over the world!
I understand. Very nice 👍🏾
@@trinievilkitty Nice. You're right to be proud 💐
The Violin guyyy
Making that violin in solitude speak!
Yes!!
Her voice is just heavenly. I am so happy I have discovered such a talent from Jamaica! Much love from Brazil
Right
🇯🇲
Mellow vibe. Soothing vocals. Great energy. Deep passion. Well put together. Expertly executed. Fresh sound. Love it.
Her vocals are amazing!!!! Thanks NPR for the introduction!
There is more to Jamaica than spice, lady saw etc. Jesus listen to sevana, Naomi cowan, jazz elise etc
I am saying!!!! Facts!!
Yes. The radio one extra with them as a quartet was amazing.
@@elleJay-mb4yn it was
Yes Lila Ike in the building - who Jah bless no man curse - this is the vibe for 2020 we need.
she deserves more recognition 🔥🔥🔥 her voice is so pure n angelic
Violinist is amazing. Respect - Ziah! Great set.
Check out his performance in Protoje's Tiny Desk, Truly epic!
Moziah is also a great vocalist. Bout time the world get to know him.
Reliatening… getting goosebumps… Lila Ike is a trailblazer… what she went through is rough… but she was chosen to break down certain mental barriers of Jamaicans… welcome to the 21st century… love and mad respect to Lila… and all sentient beings ✨🙏✨♥️✨🏆✨
Best reggae performance on TD till now. Chronix, Koffee, Black Uhuru, seen some here. She's the first one to make reggae music Vocalist shine like it should at this level ✨ Respect
She's not the fistr
@Arnaud Gales Agreed!
Protoje brought her to the UK several years ago,I saw her in Bristol she was unknown at the time instantly you knew this girl was different.Tenderly brought through by genius Protoje, In the 37 yrs I’ve been avidly following Reggae,I’ve never seen a female artist emerge as good as Lila.Potentialy she’s Icon class .❤️🇯🇲🎤🇯🇲✊🏿🇬🇳
Absolutely Agree! Yeah!
I agree also! She has the potential to be a massive star.
I can’t wait to see her progression. I have high hopes. I think we haven’t seen anything yet!!! 💯 She might have to pivot out of that roots & culture niche I think, but we’ll see 😁
Nice development
Reminds me of some lovers rock sounds on Capital Radio years ago
Wow! Tiny desk has done an incredible job The finding these amazing artists. I am so tired of main stream and most of my playlist consists of artists that I’ve discovered watching tiny desk.
This Queen's a star in my book so many great tunes wow and pretty wow 😊
WHAT A Performance Ms. Lila!!! I'm back for the 10th time for the inspiration and the Entire Vibe. You take me Away! Brilliant Set!!!
The level of conscious and diverse talent coming out of Jamaica right now Far surpasses anything from U.S. & U.K.
Protoje, Sevana, Lila, Naomi, Chronixx, Mortimer and many talented musicians/producers are youths that are musically Miles Ahead
of the entire World music industry right now. Watch them Rule for the next 20 years!
She looks like Ari Lennox, loving this brown skin Queen vibe takeover!
Well tell me why I got goosebumps just when she said “peace of mind”?
The minimalist parts really support the vocals really well, and then when it builds up, it really enforces it.
what style of music would this be categorized as?
This is Reggae ❤️💚💛
This is my happy place music! I don’t think people realize the way music can take over the body and make it feel, groove, express in all ways.
This sounds delicious to my ears. Her voice never disappoints
Tue
I was literally smiling the whole time watching this! Also this was the best band introduction! All very talented! Enjoyed every minute of this !
I understand
Love the sound.
The most lit background singers I've seen.
Love the fusion of different genres overlayed with a reggae vibe. Lila is gonna be a big crossover star. Big up..
Yea Lila, glad yuh reach pon di desk! Gwan duh yuh ting 🇯🇲
This woman is incredible! Her voice is unreal 💗💗💗
Agree
Lila is s born entertainer. She has the full package
This is an EXCELLENT concert and this singer has a purely beautiful voice.
I like to listen to music that is positive and inspirational.
Ive found her voice to be hauntingly beautiful from the moment she popped on the scene. By hook or crook, I will get her to Vegas for a stage show when the world opens up back...Yard. stan up!
Agree
Lila lke proves why she is one of the most exciting new female Reggae artist on the rise. I got Solitude on constant rotation. 'Thy will' on Sly & Robbie's classic Baltimore Riddim is on fire. Great live set. NPR does it again.
My brain melted on "Forget Me" Violin was on point.
The shorts and the fro.... for a second I thought it was Betty Davis. Really enjoyed this, lovely voice, love the backing singers.
Could just roll along with this all day long ... and her voice is incredible.
Not me whining my non existent waist when I Spy came on 💀
Beautiful!!
They have a lot of new talent coming from Jamaica.
I just love this young Jamaican singer and her music..............
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Exceptional voice and stage presence. Outstanding musicians.
Every time I listen to you and Sevana, I feel an insane pull on my inner being that I can't explain...
She's absolutely amazing! That riddim section is ON POINT!
groovy! real musicians playing real music so refreshing!
Yes, very nice
I cant love this enough. this will go down with tank and the bangas, Rakim, sylvan esso, masego....etc. as one the BEST TINY DESK EVER
From the BBC cypher I knew you were going to be a star.
Beautiful voice of Lila Ike. One love Respect.🖤💚💛 I'm Jamaica's poet and Author Bill M Burton.
Love it 👑 ❤ . Production was sick too. Lighting and everything. Mood set right. Amazing 🔥
