Sevdaliza: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

- 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.
Bob Boilen | January 5, 2021
"Good afternoon humans, my name is Sevdaliza, you're very welcome on flight 808; our destination is Shabrang." And so begins our elegant, ethereal journey. We hear an old reel-to-reel tape machine spinning some Brazilian bossa nova sounds, then shift to something more somber. Sevdaliza is seated, the tones are golden and brown, and her yearning voice sings, "I am flesh, bones / I am skin, soul / I am human." The song, "Human," which casts away the notion of artists - particularly female artists - as products.
It's a defiant stand from this Iranian-born artist. Sevdaliza is an original, a truly creative soul. Her collaborators play delicate textures - electronic percussion, buzzing, swirling synth sounds, and cello and violin beautifully enhance texture and melody.
The home for this Tiny Desk (home) concert is a culturally significant bookstore and publishing house in Amsterdam called MENDO. Its warmth sets the tone for songs from Sevdaliza's album Shabrang. If you haven't heard her record, this is a perfect introduction to an album you shouldn't have missed in 2020.

You've come so far Sevda we're so happy for you
Thank you!
She's finally getting the recognition she deserves, Shabrang is easily one of the best albums in 2020...
Word!!
Ikr, she's amazing.
Zahmen!🤗🖖🤓
She? Or they?
@@SystemExclusive Sevdaliza is a solo artist and her own songwriter and producer, her band is also amazing too.
Vocals, Expression, Authenticity, Humanity, Knowledge - Sevdaliza
Authenticity? She seems like an art figure. But that ok, she‘s an artist.
@@tartufobianco4200art is authenticity in its purest form
But those who can't hear the music think the ones dancing are crazy
Lol had to write this pRetEeNtioUs comment for you
What did I just listen to? Why isn't anyone raving about this phenomenal woman? Why are people sleeping on her brilliance? Everything is giving legendary! I'm here after listening to Alibi.
Can we talk about how amazing the musicians are too , like, wow, what a team!! This takes you to somewhere else!
Sevdaliza sounds particularly amazing when she sings in Farsi. I hope she does it on future projects.
My exact same thought
When she started talking😭😭😭😭omg how can someone be so flawless 😭😭😭
I'm so happy Sevdaliza was on Tinydesk. She deserves all the recognitions. She doesn't create music, she creates soundscapes and emotions, This was just as amazing of all the other things she's done!
You can tell by the performance alone that she 100% wrote these songs
She has been my inspiration for the last 4-5yrs. She is so strong in who she is. She is able to create music that speaks to the soul. That awakens the soul. That stops you dead in your tracks because it’s moving your body without you realizing it. I am proud and honored to be able to watch the growth in this time. I know there is so much more that goes into everything than what is shown. I am thankful that has all worked out because she has stayed true to herself. I am thankful for this moment. Thank you all, who made this possible. Every step of the way
Amen ...been following her from the start. Hoped she would get the recognition world wide. She is one of the most honest artists. Goes her own way.
Discovered her in 2016 and have been closely following ever since. The art she shares is a gift.
@@surfraptor She has definitely been a breath of fresh air. Feels like we finally have a voice in this world.
SHE IS THE MOMENT!
She always has the amazing hair on set!!!
Love that hair colour 😍😍
Her visuals are some of the dopest in the game I remember sitting for hours just rewatching her videos and feeling like I was in another dimension
Absolutely!!!🌄
I swear Sevdaliza 's music has a vibe I cannot describe but all I know is I love the vibe ..I'm loving this ..arg man . This is beautiful ! :)
that's because she's most talented and she makes expriences
Look up Portishead for a similar sound
@@DefinitelyNotBender oh yeah? Mos Def.. Thanks for the recommendation 🙏
Mesmerizing and angelic, very hard to describe.
Thank you NPR, Sevdaliza deserves to reach more people.
Gol bi Goldoon is a beautiful Persian song originally by Googoosh. Here is the English translation for anyone who was wondering:
you were telling me that i'm nothing without you
stay with me forever
if you're not be here, i'll die
flower without flower-vase, it's impossible (it can't be)
what a mistake I made
that i believed your words
a cold day in autumn
you broke your flower-vase
like the bride of flowers
you sat in the greenhouse
the spring will come again
they'll bring you again
like an ornamental flower
they'll plant you in a greenhouse
you'll say to your(new) flower-vase again
"stay with me forever"
you say "i'll die without you"
flower without flower vase, it's impossible
what a mistake she makes
that she believes your words
the original one is so different wow, i love what Sevdaliza did
Thank you so much ❤ and thank you for the translation - Beautiful ❤
❤
I used to imagine what the 4th Portishead album would sound like.
Totally, we need more of Portishead , I miss them.
Right? I'm feeling a major Portishead vibe going on here. Beautiful music Sevdaliza! I just discovered you :)
Probably nothing like this, based on Third. If anything, I think they'll take the Krautrock sounds of Beak> and Anika further
:)
I've been a Portishead fan since the mid 1990s...and no disrespect to them at all, but she blows them out of the water.
I love how she is sitting
13:10 mannnn I love how they are all so engaged with each others' playing... gives such a feel to the sound
I enjoyed all of it but when Gole Bi Goldoon started, I got proper goose bumps all over my arms... I don't even speak the language.
Same here.
Its Persian and the original song belongs to "Googoosh - Gole bi goldoon"
Why in seven hells does this sound like it isn't live??? Now that's talent sheeesh
@@shmeli thank you man,you're right.
@@shmeli pre-recorded? I was always under the impression that they are recorded during the actual performance and then mixed afterwards. Is that not the case?
Perhaps I’m just misunderstanding your comment. not tryna be hostile btw just genuinely curious
@@mf1553 you are correct, I didn’t mean to say that the audio was pre-recorded, only that the performance was recorded before the release and not live. thanks for the clarification because it would be accurate to say that it was recorded live, so I used the wrong terminology, my apologies. we agree that it was post mixed and that is probably why 0P questioned how it sounds so good
She's literally a genius
Love how she always lets space for the musicians. They are great.
(Still can’t believe she is human and nothing more than human...)
Sharing is an extraordinary thing, thank you Sevdaliza.
"I'll do anything, just be my friend" hits me hard.
the keyboard guy is literally 100 different instruments
I’m a big fan of Sevdaliza, thanks for featuring her ❤️
I don’t know who the f she is, but she’s dope. New fan here from Mississippi! 🙀🙀🙋🏻♂️
@@austinmonroe3894 You're In For A Treat!
Been a fan since “That Other Girl”. You’re amazing, from one singer to another. Continued blessings to you, Sevdaliza. ❤️
Following her work since Sirens of the caspian and she never fails to give an outstanding performance.
0:00 - *Human*
[2:58 / 3:12 / 3:46] - *Dormant*
8:23 - *All Rivers at Once*
13:01 - *Gole Bi Goldoon* (17:48)
Very nice of you !
I've just discovered this artist, and it feels like I've just uncovered a whole new genre I didn't know I was looking for. These songs just speak to me like nothing else. Power, finesse and authenticity. My new favourite artist ☺️
And two years later, here I am feeling exactly the same as what you said, word for word!
I feel like a proud relative seeing Sevdaliza grow and evolve over the past few years and receive more recognition.
Thanks for your music and thanks to NPR as well.

Seeing Sevdaliza live at the North Sea Jazz festival was a life changing experience. Last show at a three day festival, thought I chill in the back but after one beat I was in the front row.
This is so cool and surreal idk why it’d so much different watching hey performance but this woman has divine feminine goddess unearthly energy
She watched 3 of my stories in 2020 with my music playing on them. That's when I knew that my frequency had changed forever, and I'm on the right path infinitely! Going up! Blessings beautiful souls and stay safe, all love!💫🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💫
🤍🤍🤍
the violin for gole bi goldoon is so amazing 13:01
Who else is spending the rest of the day binging all her music?
I definitely was not ready for this amazingness
I'm digging the Portishead/Thom Yorke vibe. Make no mistake this is definitely all her own, this is Sevdaliza.
Fun fact she didn't know who Portishead were until they told her she sounds like them.
dont forget frusciante
@@ZacharyKhitmi that's crazy man, I'd be over the moon if I heard that.
I love both bands but I see no resemblance other than both are AMAZING. She is her own force so is Portishead
All her own? I was just wondering. Does she make the music or is she pure vocalist?
i saw her post on ig, i screamed
came here and it was the first thing recommended to me!
really was not expecting this but i think it's time everybody put some respek on her name
everything about her is just * chef's kiss *
"Gole Bi Goldoon" makes me cry. She is a treasure.
First time hearing of her and man I have been missing out.When you can just lay back close your eyes and just vibe is something special. Her voice and her band are fantastic.
So iconic! Such a breathe of fresh air.
Nuff said
It's The Way Sev Slides Into Dormant's Lyrics and Soundscape, That Ushers Me Back To My Mid Teens & Discovering Portis Head And The Wonderland That Is TripHop... I Love The Way She Drags Me Into The Deep End. You Truly Are Divinity.
her newest record is so powerful to me and she quickly became one of my favorite artists, she is so inspiring and wonderful in so many ways and I just love that people like her make music for the world :)
Sevdaliza is so talented and a beautiful musician
All of these changes in songs are beautiful. Even human feels fresh now after all this time
Sevdaliza is so so sooo good it's a crime she's such an underrated artist.
This version of Dormant sent several chills down my spine! God, she IS divine !!
Words cannot describe how much I love this woman and the magic she creates! All Rivers at Once is phenomenal live.
YES!! Finally the recognition she deserves. I’ve been dancing to “human” for 3 years now. It’s incredible.
I’ve had the great honor to see Sevdaliza live two times. She is hands down one the best artists and performers of our time. Love her a lot. ❤️
I love ALL of her Music! ALL RIVERS AT ONCE is my absolute fav and inspiration! Beautiful rendition!
It is hard enough to break through in America as a Dutch Artist. This Woman is a Great Artist and Worthy of your praise.
Please nominate her and her band with a like. Great Music!
I Love you guys! Great Ambassadors*
The musicianship is superb! Svedaliza is in a league of her own....
Gole Bi Goldoon is probably one of my favourites. The imagery is absolutely beautiful and her voice serves as a beautiful conduit for that art
I’ve never been this early to a Tiny Desk drop, wow they give out refreshments
The tones incorporated in these songs are powerful stuff. Evocative is the word that comes to mind
This hits my 14-year-old Portishead vibes hard.
I am afraid that the lifetime is not enough to fully understand her genius. Everything Sevdaliza does, it's just on a higher level ♥️♥️.
Reminds me of portishead sometimes.. I love her ❤
I can't believe I ever went to her show in Brazil, it was something out of the ordinary. Sevdaliza is a phenomenal artist, I really admire her. I want to have the honor of seeing her perform Shabrang live, simply her best album without a doubt. ♥️
Her sound is music in a pure form. Does that makes sense?
I tell you I JUMPED when I saw she was here. Absolute goddess
I’m addicted to their music and in love with the singer! Can’t stop watching her singing.
I have no words to describe this woman.
I'm crying while watching this. How talented and pure is she?!!! So proud of what Sevda has achieved so far and can't wait to see what the future brings for her.
Finally Sev is getting the recognition she deserves. I'm so happy for her.
Wow 😳! One of the most beautiful and unique sounding artist I've heard. The vocalization and instrumentations are absolutely gorgeous.
i’m so happy that she’s getting more recognition now!!! she deserves it so much!
Tiny desk bombed me in the past months with my favourite artists. Please stop, I can't handle it!
Incredible performance from queen sev ❤ She looks so beautifully here too. Her brown dress and hair color! 😍 Im obsessed!!
Wow... this just defies categorization! Such unique music, performed by a first class singer and exceptional musicians! Mesmerizing!!
Literally one of the best things NPR could have done!!!! 🗣Sevdaliza 🔥
THE GUY ON THE SYNTH FFFFF
🙏
@@leondenengelsen this already saved 2021, peace 🤲🏻

edit* no its not-- sry
He's having fun.
one of the greatest artist nowadays!!!🤘🔥❤
Sevdaliza is incredibly talented and her last album is a masterpiece, really glad and proud she's been recognized for both! ❤
Her voice is as beautiful as she is! So soothing and sensual... love it!!
It’s absolutely amazing how masculine energy in music joins the femininity of Sevdaliza’s voice ❤️
Her energy is like no other, truly ethereal
Finally an authentic artist! Thank you for having her... more of this please!
she is so gorgeous
This is NOT impossible to say: I LOVE SEVDA🥺🥺🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤗💙
Big Bjork energy! Salute!
Her music is so real, strange, exotic. It touches me very deeply. It takes me to some unconscious places. I love her creativity, openness and exploration. She and her team are incredible artists!
ngl this was the smoothest flight of my life
It's about high time she gets recognized I love all of her performances and appearances
As a Dutchman in the States it warms my heart to see such fantastic music from Sevdaliza made it to the US. Kudos to Tiny Desk. Hope to hear more of her in future as I loved Shabrang.
Give it up for the strings 😍
sublime!
Right
magical, and the BAND behind, just love...
Did she just cast a spell on us 👾💖💕
I’m in 20 seconds and already know I like it!
oh my god i love the new ending for Dormant. Sevda ur feeding my soul
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this in my feed!!! Thank you Sevdaliza and NPR for this wonderful gift 🤍🖤
Not even close to a thumbs down. Unbelievable to me really. Even if it's not your jam you have to acknowledge the talent and hard work?! I unfortunately and fortunately have been turned on to so many new musicians through Tiny Desk and love it all. What a beauty and a voice, and I love that everyone plays their part in order for the machine to work, imo. Thank you Musical Humans:)
She may not be everyone's taste but no one can deny the effort she puts into her music, no label record and her own lyricist and co-producer, she's definitely not your average singer/songwriter.
Thank You Tiny Desk for featuring one of my favourit Artists right now. She is so unique i love it!
Essa mulher tem uma alma indiscritível
Been waiting for this 🖤🖤🖤
All we need is a Sevdaliza and Deftones collaboration.🙏🙏🙏
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hearing Sevdaliza live is a completely different type of experience. ALL sounds and words are accounted for. Her videos are pretty fascinating, the artistry is extremely stimulating. The Live Music just make you melt in the sounds. Bravo 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Please let's have a big shout-out for NPR's tiny desk
They have really stepped up to the plate during these hard times...so many good concerts in the past year!
In the last weeks alone I've watched
Rhiannon Giddens
Butcher Brown
C. Tangana
And right now Sevdaliza...
I'm am so grateful for the amazing content from all the wonderful artists that came and will come trough the tiny desk!
Thank you.
Tiny Desk is on fire!!! We needed Sevdaliza!!!!
She’s other worldly I love her so much ughhhhhhhh!!!!!!
