- Watch Lucky Daye play "Roll Some Mo", "Misunderstood" and
"Late Night" at the Tiny Desk.
May 28, 2019 | Sidney Madden -- Sometimes, a Tiny Desk is just meant to be. NPR Music's Bobby Carter and I have been checking for Lucky Daye since last year when we dubbed him one of the "Kings of R&B." Then, after seeing Lucky perform live in Washington D.C., we knew his charisma and control, even for a new name, would translate well to the Tiny Desk. The same week we saw him live for the first time, we knew he was ready for the challenge.
Hailing from New Orleans and inheriting a love of sticky, bass-bumping funk early on, Lucky wanted to bring the full flavor of his debut album, Painted to NPR. So he brought along a 10-person band, including a quartet of horns, and his go-to producer Dernst "D'Mile" Emile II on bass. Like the record, which incorporates bouncy pop, a light, wallowing nod to jazz and show-stopping soul (notice the dramatic pause of the beat during the final song, "Late Night"), Lucky took the vibe of the Tiny Desk from chill to rowdy within the span of 15 minutes. He even let the audience in on a secret: "I've never performed that song in front of anyone with a band," he said, trying to laugh off mid-set jitters and bask in the moment. "This is amazing, y'all. I'm really grateful."

His cheekbones, hair, skin..teeth and this song combo ...are majestic. 😍
I have three boys, so I really can't look at someone's son like that... BUT.....you are absolutely CORRECT! 😍
I think he's African truly
@@taneshaj73 arent we all? And yeah he looks like very pure bred.
his new orleans accent is the real killer.
Yasssss Gawd!!😍😍😍
He brings a certain level of innocence you don’t see much with male artists, and I really treasure that about him...
I totally see it. He feels honest and genuine.
i totally agree
It's that youthful male energy, so precious 😍
He's in his 30s tho. That's still young I guess but just sharing because I thought like early 20s he's so...pure
Yes & it’s so beautiful.
The horn section on “Misunderstood”
Is unreal! The work on the muted trumpet is solid!
🔥🔥🔥FIRE🔥🔥🔥
Lucky Daye can saaaaaaaaang, no autotune, pure talent & gorgeus too

I refuse to believe this
The fact that he sounds exactly like the records 💪🏿 Wish him all the success, he has the talent for sure.
Ur so right...
Eggzacklee
Better live. It’s crazy.
To be honest I think it's the microphone because everyone on tiny desk sound like their record which is impressive but it may be the microphone it's a studio mic
Yassss...truly amazing🙌🏾
This Roll Some Mo arrangement is phenomenal, the horns, the back-up vocals...sheesh
Undeniable. One of the best songs of all time osrs
Wow... vocals and band❤ freaking amazing
He didn’t make it to Hollywood on American Idol but later co-wrote for Neyo. You never know where life will take you. He is to smooth and talented 💚💚💚
On what song omg wow
@@christinagraham2915 Neyo, She got her own
❤️
And now has a feature with the legendary Earth, Wind, and Fire. One of their originals with a Lucky touch. Not to mention so many others. Babyface brought him on his Tiny Desk.
Oh yes! The horns section is amazing!
This man is not only talented, he’s FINEEEE too. His facial structure is really something.
He is definitely fine af!!!
PREACH 👏🏾
Black men 💆🏾♀️

Amen
Amen 🙏🏾
Yes he gone be in Houston on the 19th
You will enjoy the show @adrianna
@@dellydidthisbeat1784 I can't wait
Lucky is the epitome of a black man. His skin...his smile....his hair....his cheekbones....his lips....his aura....his swag....his voice...his essence. It is truly that of a sensitive black man. Thank you so much, brother. For giving us your intimate thoughts through song. Thank you for giving us good, real music. THANK YOU! This made my morning at work today!!
The epitome? Of...every black man; like ALL black men?
Like, like black men in the UK to the remotest villages of Africa and South America, across the oceans to every island?
Rich black men, poor black men ... educated, uneducated?
Black men of mixed races and adjacent cultures, too?
Lucky Daye? Okay... ...was just asking?
@@agapeluv nope man you have to understand the context "or better misunderstood"
@@agapeluv yes yes yes yes
That is a nonsensical statement
Why can't he be a black man vs placing sensitive black man? I get your opinion, but he could be thoughtful, then it brings me to think about black men n general and black men comes with different levels of depth just like a woman. Peace Queen
“Dat boy good!” Coming to America. NOLA proud!
Bruh he's 34, my guy is looking like he's 18 out here at 34 years old
Edit: He turned 35 a couple months ago, I just for got to change it.
Fabrizio Quiroz say sike right now say sike right now 🥺
Huh???? Woooow 🥰😍😍 maturity at its sexiest!
He was born September 25, 198black
Sorry 1985
Melanine, bro.
We were genetically engineered for resilience. Watch us win.
First off .. he is a BEAUTIFUL man ... and so so talented !!!!
Yes he is !!!!
I'm saying though!
Roger that!!!
He's gorgeous!
Yassss! 😍
The muted trumpet is one of the most beautiful sounds
That’s what it is. Thank you. I knew it was a trumpet 🎺 but I couldn’t figure out what type it was specifically. ❤
It immediately relaxes me 😂
no way he sounds EXACTLY like his track live. he's beautiful, his music is beautiful. i'm in awe.
He sounds better ❤
Way!
When the whole band is feeling it too. Makes the vibe different...
SWERVE Teen Talk Radio a legit jam session❤️
Right?! Around the 10th minute it hits that spot where they r all connecting and vibing. Beautiful.
SWERVE Teen Talk Radio...the whole vibe is positive and refreshing for the soul😉😉😉
Facts! I’m still jamming to this 🤝🏾
The horn section is giving me lifeee 😍🤤👌🏿
Horn section put in work, specially ole girl on the trumpet
Yesssssss
Word!
@@jidmoore10 she KILT IT!!!❤
I love the maturity of his voice at his young age. Definitely bringing back that early 80s grown folks' R&B vibe! Congratulations, young brother! Continue reimaging the blueprint & the game to what it's supposed to be!
Horn section! Y'allz THEEEEE 💩!!! Straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥!
Misunderstood is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard in my life. The arrangement. The Piano. The lyrics. And of course Lucky’s voice ❤️
Mane what?!?!?...on repeat
💯🔥🔥🔥
Omg I feel the exact way!
It is a beautiful song, agreed
Agreed! So excited he’s performing this one!
" Thank ya'll for having me"...a simple but profound act of humility and graciousness...so very refreshing...
🙌🏾
Guy is singing in such a high chest voice. Mad respect ain’t easy.
truth 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Fax, whole song is falsetto for me rn, I’m trying to get my strength up
@@darrylemooreii4424 😂😂
That's what makes it sound so unique.
@@thesunrises7756 For real. Pulling them neck veins for the notes
R&B Aint dead. This new wave just brewing🙌🏾
This ain’t R&B it’s soul
Neo-soul ... and alternative R&B
Yes 🙌🏿✨
@@wfmbu Soul is R&B. Musical genres don't have rigid limits like that. Soul combines elements of R&B and other genres together.
DaiDai its crazy because most of these new greats are millennials. Seems like that “something great” had to marinate and simmer to birth the great music like the R&B and Neo Soul we grew up on ☺️
I didn’t appreciate that ad that randomly popped up
At All
Exactly 😂😂
@gabriella...fast forward to the end and restart...this normally erases the ads...then you can try to " roll some mo "
Ion like dat ..lol
Misunderstood. Pure soul magic. He must be protected at all costs. 💯🙏
At all costs
“Roll Some Mo” just does something to my soul 😍😭 So glad I found him
As I am too... Where has been all my life?? :-)
@Kendraya Davis absolutely
Likewise
yasssss-)
You can tell he’s genuinely happy performing, I’m so happy for him👏🏾❤️.
Yea... all of them look good in the space... happy.
You are right the positive energy is coming through. Before the third song he speaks on being grateful. It is so refreshing!!
I’m glad he never gave up after his American Idol days. If real R&B was mainstream like I used to be, he’d definitely be one of the leading R&B artists
Oh how I wish these tiny desks could be on spotify or something..
Some of them are on apple podcasts
yeah like colors like we need this 🥺🙏
I play it on TH-cam Music. Its free if you already pay for commercial free.
I love his vulnerability. When a man can express his sensitive side it's a beautiful thing.
Read it again: WHEN A MAN CAN EXPRESS HIS SENSITIVE SIDE ITS A BEAUTIFUL THING!!!!!
It's not the vulnerability... it's him (or ANY black man to be honest) TRUSTING "you" enough to share his true feelings/weaknesses. One can feel vulnerable but still reserved and protective. 😉
But he also plays with it a bit. :) Comibined with his cute looks he knows he's melting thousands of hearts in the audience.
This ✨
@@mele9131 That is true self confidence and so sexy!
The chemistry he has between the band and the vocal singers is so beautiful and unique 😌✨
I like your channel name... 😊
It is!!
He looks like he is very passionate about his craft. I can see him staying around a long time. Music is fresh and has staying power.
He also wrote for other artist like Neyo before he blew up
Th
😊
8lobe c g n⁹ great
The band is fire 🔥🔥 & the horns 🔥
MISUNDERSTOOD. Hits the soul different.
Thankful for the Language of Music.
ITS VR. Very different 😭
You could tell MISUNDERSTOOD was true to his heart and something he went through or is going through
OMG!!❤❤💯
ITS VR. Yesssss !!!! I love you for this comment. It’s so real ❤️
Exactly !
Lucky Daye should be a model.
He has the face structure
I know. He's disgustingly talented and attractive, lol. It should be illegal to be that blessed
He has thee best cheekbones.
I agree with the FULLY. He is a stunning human being. 😫😍
Period
lets take a moment to appreciate the back up singers.
Dude charismatic af lol. Shy people always have the most charisma for some reason.
he's shy?
TOTALLY TOTALLY UNDERSTOOD...😎
Lucky Daye and Masego are the TRUTH. OMG, if they did an album TOGETHER.......
Will never happen
InterestingEnough Y E S!!
Jeff Troy we can dream. You never know!
I wouldn't know how to act. I love them both
@@jefftroy4518 wait. Why 😭
Roll Some Mo has got to be one of the smoothest songs out right now! I feel like I can ride out to this!
Mateo Martinez 🤦🏽♀️ no. She means go cruising in a car to the vibes from the song.
@@Isignedup4this honestly you could do both to that song
@@Isignedup4this 😂😂😂😂 Right?!! 😂😂😂😩😂
Nikki Melvin Roll Some Mo is Dope fa sho!
Seriously!!! A classic!
The live rendition of Roll some more was absolutely incredible. Sounds timeless like I could still be listening to this when I'm 70. Touched the soul with this one. Shout out to the backing singers on that last song. Incredible.
Yes
Neo-Soul never died...
When I see these young people playing real instruments, that let’s me know R&B is safe. #proud
Yes!!! We need more!
He's 35. young but not super young. he looks so young tho, right?
Nothing beats live instrumentation on Soul and R&B
He’s grown 😂
Angela Lichtenstein 👏🏽👏🏽
Kudos to this man hitting the same notes from the song, not off key, none of that.
All fire.
King Kables right, it’s a little flat in the beginning, but just barely, and I couldn’t imagine that there’s minimal warmup
HE SINGS WITH SUCHHHH PASSSIONNNNN ! AND LOOKS SO HAPPY 🥺
Ya’ll acting like u can’t see that his skin is GLOWING✨🥰
Him and Jasmine Sullivan ❤️🥰👌. Would sound amazing to me!
A.D's Adventure I absolutely agree!
I would love to hear that
Whoa!!! Hell to da YES!!!
Jasmin Sullivan literally sounds like a dude

And whoever engineers these "Tiny Concerts" is awesome. Recording studio levels and the right mic selection. Shotguns and vocals totally tight sound, for an office space...I'd love to see a vid on how they set all of this up. Sennheiser 416's all over picking up the sound to perfection...mixer settings and all of it. It's like listening to an album, the sound is so well done here...gotta shout out to the sound guy(s) doing these. Even the drums sound tight and no need for monitors it seems. Horns too, just perfect. Very much impressed...
Josh Rogosin, the engineer, did do a video series on how he sets up most of the acts. also has a bunch of other videos on the ins and outs...
producer Pat Leonard (Madonna, Elton John, Rod Stewart, more) once told me that the best recordings were made capturing a moment in time, as honestly as possible.. yessssss
Michael Hill me too to production is exceptional
I wish they would release these Tiny Desk Concerts. I'd buy them!
Yes indeed!! They are truly gifted at sound engineering.
The band was vibing so hard, they love singing this music!! Their smiles made me smile! 😊
Can we talk about how this sounds like a studio version. He, the musicians and the background singers were so in sync. Smooth
A whole mood 💯
Daye can sing everything on a Dr. Bronner’s bottle and i’d be mesmerized.
😭😭😭
underrated comment 😂
lmaoooo
Yes 😭😭😭
😂😂😂😂😂
I smell a COLORS show coming!
Yessss that would be dope
Hello. Hi. What would be the difference?
@@barenggaoretelelwe3693 He will have good exposure, it's a big channel
we need it
we can only hope
His music sounds so much better live and with a band.
As an aspiring artist, I can’t say enough how much this drives me crazy. The finesse, the emotion and truth behind every word and phrase. Some dream of the money and fame but I dream of creating the SOUND. I want to achieve this greatness. Shout out to all my fellow aspiring artists watching and being inspired. May your journey be fruitful and fulfilling
I too dream of creating the sound...
Few times have I seen someone articulate my thoughts so precisely. God bless bro, I sincerely hope we both achieve what we want!
Wishing you the best. Sounds like you're focused on the right things.
LUCKY DAYE is the next R&B superstar! Legend in the making
EBBY Facts.
He definitely should be!!!!
exactly!
The HORNNNN section is 🔥. The background singers are Life. This man and his whole band is a Movement and a Pause same time. Thank you for the music sir. ❤
Such a beautiful description of what we are privileged to embody! They're amazing!! This is my first time listening to Lucky and it is an instant love!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@teresacoleman2991 I felt the same instant connection. 🎶
They really are
Ikr, I got soooo happy from watching this
Yes! I was like those back up singers and the band are 🔥 Beautiful music
I literally envision am entire love story in New Orleans to his album. That new Orleans influence really puts you in that space and time, really made an impact to how much I love his album. His attention to detail between him and his producer is magestic 👌😭❤️
We've got so much talent down there!!!
His Producer is one of the most talented Producers I’ve worked with!!! ULTRA-TALENTED!!! They ARE A DYNAMIC DUO!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Man love hearing our sound in mainstream music.
my mans was vibing to his own music , that’s how yk it’s good 😍
I love that his live sounds exactly like the studio. And the band and backup singers are fantastic 🔥🔥❤️
Agreed! Beautiful voice!
The band is super solid
chuckzwhit bruh! So solid!
Band is super dope!
Faacts
black men are magical. he is so handsome and his whole vibe is honestly unmatched
Still coming back 2 years later as if it just came out. I'd love to know if anyone has watched this more times than I have. 🥰😋❤️❤️❤️
The horn section KILLED it
Yes!!! Omg
Chills
@@lyniyahmystique1907 same, even the guy on the drums like that’s nice!
Yesss
Yessss🔥🔥🔥🔥
Brother shoulda won 2020 Grammy best R&B for “Roll some mo“
What’s up with that?
*Late night
0:12 Roll Some Mo
5:12 Misunderstood
9:25 Late Night
Watching in 2022, I absolutely love him & the art that he creates 🖤
Watching in 2023!! Hope you made it through 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Yep 2023 here ❤
as he sang he got more and more attractive. there is not a BAD SONG on that album
dahliah mermaids yes!!! I can’t remember the last time I could listen to a whole album without skipping. Every song is a hit with him!
He's beautiful. Reminds me of ASAP Rocky and all that cocoa caramel.
@@oludumares_manifestation but asap not fine cuz he's an idiot. His attractiveness is null and void now. But this thing here... whew!
Not one!
@ dahliah mermaids I was thinking the same thing!
I was standing in the audience witnessing this. Hella dope individual. Session was fire.
Isaiah Gaymon you’re so damn lucky
U work for npr?
So jealous!!!
Blessed, blessed, blessed!
so quality
Late Night is such. a. JAM. Backup singers and live horn section make this such a deeper cut than the album. REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT
Lucky Daye is ADORABLE!!! I love everything about this! Especially him talking crying in a heartbeat. 😍
This legit looks like one big jam session. Everybody's just groovin. I'm a fan.
Pan Mantequilla h
When Raphael Saadiq vouches for you, then you know you're dope! Yessir. 🔥
I knew there had to be some connect. He reminds me Mr. Saddiq so much in singing style not to mention the black not crackin.
💯
YAAAS!!!!!
He sang support to Raphael here on Tiny Desk which is how I found him and I thought he outshone Raphael IMO.
For real! Saadiqs soulchild, like Maxwell is to Marvin and Calvin R is to Bobby Womack
The horns! ❤ I was in band for all of my growing up years. This sound is like love and like home to me❤❤❤ I was a woodwind but the sound is still giving me the feels❤️❤️❤️
Kudos to his producer d-mile on the bass there! Genius man!
the jazz arrangements for these songs were perfect (especially roll some mo), it really tied all three of the songs together. The connection between the performers, his personality, the atmosphere must've been amazing...
He look like the product of palmers coco butter girl 🤷🏾♀️ and those teeth are beautiful 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yesssss honey
Summed up what I was thinking beautifully
Im telling ya😍😍😍😍
😂💯
No reason this should make perfect sense😭💯
NPR please have Lucky Daye back on TinyDesk. He has much more music in his catalog now that deserves this intimate performance. This was great
I never heard of this guy until yesterday when I was on iTunes. The name of his new album is "Candydrip" and the cover art is really cool. I decided to sample the songs and the entire album is 🔥. I almost never say that about an entire album. There really aren't any songs you will want to skip.
Preach
Okay but painted tho 🤧
Debut album is top tier
you need to check out his 1st painted no throw aways on that and he won a Grammy fro the table for 2 album it was so deserving
Word
If you like Candydrip you’ll love Painted! These songs came from Painted.
I swear New Orleans artists always come and turn it out!
Tia Herron agreed I love you guy’s culture ❤️. Especially them horns, Daye gave me some PJ Morton vibes
Like August
Hometown always showing out!!
Honestly anyone from Louisiana be turning it OUT! 💯
@@BratzFanz123 true true!
The vulnerability of his music, the passion of his lyrics and his conviction while performing are beautiful and inspiring.
Roll some mo is top tier, he killed this and imma be back
When music is a conversation, between sound and vibe-ration, it sounds like this💜
This is probably my favorite tiny desk concert so far. I love the chemistry between Lucky Daye, the background singers, and the band. It looks like they're genuinely having fun.
✔ out Tank and the Bangas on Tiny Desk. I've truthfully 🎶 listened to it 10 or mo ×'s🎼🎶🎵💖💖💖💖💖💃
@@bridgetgilliam1837 Sounds like we may have the same taste in music.. Check out Chika also! Her background singers are the best I've ever heard on Tiny desk.
Right
@@bridgetgilliam1837 I was going to mention Tank, but it is something about Raveena that touches the inner soul of your soul.
It truly is My Favorite! Second is Anderson Paak. But Lucky Daye made me subscribe to them.. he is So innocently Pure in his thought AND delivery and We Need Him! We Need His Spirit NOW more than ANYTHING
GAWT dam that horn section is EVERYTHANG!!!!
Truly
Word
The best tiny desk in awhile the live instruments were amazing
I love and adore everything about Lucky, his artistry and sound! I listen to the Painted album multiple times each week...it's a timeless piece of art. It is very evident that he is completely aligned with each song. The new album Candy Drip also goes hard. Lucky, you deserve every bit of the success that is on its way to you!
The sound quality on these recordings is phenomenal. Kudos to their sound engineers.
I like the live version better than the album. The horns really make it special
This version has ruined me for sure!❤🔥
Javier Valles I know! I’m going to him live and if they don’t sing this version I’ll be crushed.
Live is always better
Ikr! It was already groovy but it’s down right amazing with those horns live
The violens in the album are a vibe too tho!
The musicianship at 12:14 gives me the warm and fuzzies!!! So amazing
I am so proud and happy for this young man from Louisiana...I am much older, but I love his sound ❤️! Get it Home Boy...wishing you all the success you deserve! ROLL SOME MORE!! NOLA in the house!!!
HOW TF IS HE NOT THE MALE FACE OF RNB RIGHT NOW!?
OKKK 👈 lol that's why
Because he's not talking about sexing and leaving....simple...its too soulful for them phony AnRs
@@EnkDripp I know what you mean but umh, yes he is. He's just not as raw and disrespectful. Great person, talent, and seaux New Orleans!
This is no shade to him because I think he's amazing but I think it's because of all the effects on his albums. I can't find many songs on Spotify I like but these live sessions he does are 🔥🔥🔥
The same reason they shoot Bros in da street!
I can't believe how many times I have pressed on repeat
Raphael right!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
I thought was just me! lol
Every musician was so happy to play this set! This Tiny Desk is my fave.
I’m only 4:30 minutes in and I feel compelled to write…THIS IS REAL MUSIC!!!! I was literally soaring with Luckys’ vocals and the instrumentals…..absolutely beautiful. Lucky is so talented and I love the emotion and soul he puts into his music….I’m literally melting rn lol 😆
Just got turned onto him! His music sounds like flowers blooming. Bless up to the horn section!
True story.
I think this is such a beautiful description! I agree
Bruh I just love when people make real music to the point where you can perform and it damn near sound better than the album edited version. Just RAW.
New Orleans Own. Proud you Lucky
It’s just something about his face and his smile. The talent and his shyness is so adorable. Love him a lot 💙 god bless him and all of you watching 💙💙💙🙏
Don't forget the 11th member, that awesome NPR mixing guy, whoever he is.
Josh Rogosin
Definitely!!! The mixes are always flawless
Yeah it’s really hard to live mix like that, he does a very good job. I hope to be able to work the way he does one day
btw u will always find production credits in the description! always nice to know and appreciate the ones who deal with the final product
What does mixing mean/what does a mixer do?
He always kills Misunderstood live. Every time he performs this song, he just gets better and better 😩
please bring him back for a longer set! he has so many more hits now !!!!
