Tiny Desk Meets SXSW: DUCKWRTH
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 апр 2021
- Every year, NPR Music participates in the SXSW music festival, whether it's curating a stage or simply attending hundreds of shows at the annual event in Austin, Texas. Last year, the festival was canceled due to the pandemic, but it returned this March as an online festival. We programmed a 'stage' of Tiny Desk (home) concerts and presented them on the final day of the festival. Now, we present to you Tiny Desk Meets SXSW: four videos filmed in various locations, all of them full of surprises.

DUCKWRTH decided to do something special for Tiny Desk Meets SXSW: brand new music. "Welcome to my Tiny Desk," he says. "We are gonna play some new songs for y'all if that's OK. Y'all ain't got no choice!"
The dynamic R&B singer proceeded to debut two exclusives: a slow jam titled "make u go," which he dedicates to the "lovers and freaks," and the upbeat "Birthday Suit," which KCRW astutely compared to Estelle's "American Boy."
The new material wasn't the only thing that made this Tiny Desk such a treat. For this funky and flamboyant performance, DUCKWRTH dressed his backing band entirely in white and switched up the lighting for each song so that the hue matched the mood he was laying down.
DUCKWRTH has long been a creative soul. He spoke with NPR in 2019 about growing up in a Pentecostal household in South Central Los Angeles, and how those two worlds helped shape his journeys between R&B and West Coast G-funk.

Ugh the way his album flew under the radar last year 😭😭
And it was one of the best of the year!!!
so true...was one of my most played albums all the way through last year
LITERALLYYYYY!!! Definitely my favorite of 2020
Him and Leven Kali had the best albums of 2020 and no one talked about it
Album was crazy
Love seeing DUCKWRTH receive more recognition as a versatile artist.
Kilo Kish? niiiice

He definitely deserve it. Outstanding artist
The backup vocalist ladies were so good
You might even say super good...
Sorry I’ll stop
@johnry Osano Yes sir, I mean this
LITERALLY SO PROUD OF DUCKWRTH
Me too. Literally standing in front of a microphone and sing-talking. I have shivers
DUCKWRTH FINALLY GOT A TINY DESK LETS GOOOO SO PROUD
Bass player during “birthday suit” is a whole mood
For a Tiny Desk, they sure make huge videos in terms of quality.
Can we all agree that "Supergood" (song and album) is a whole mood?
ABSOLUTELY!
And super bounce
6:32 That high note live in my head rent free.
0:05 - *Kiss U Right Now* (3:14)
3:20 - *make u go* (7:01)
7:03 - *Birthday Suit* (9:56 / 10:01)
[10:29] - *Super Good*
[14:12 - Tiny Desk team]
thank you
Bass player is grooving it so hard.
he’s such a gem
Uncut you mean.
He's so good and he knows it
He simply just makes REAL feel-good music. I love DUCKWRTH so much
I mean, he came through with his music and it's brand new unreleased stuff too?! The whole set was fire, from the vocals to the instrumentals esp that bass...
I don't want to spoil Duckwrth for the younger generation but I am a pensioner and have just stumbled upon him/them. Terrific, dutiful and clever - impressive stuff
yes. this is it. i can die now
Yes now I feel my life is complete. Talking into a microphone like that. Who can accomplish such a task?
Please don't. The world needs you
Bassman feeling himself and the bass is as tall as he is. I kid. I kid. I'm a fellow short man.
Excellent musicians.
