Plus her mother was a Minister of Music and organist at their church. Both of her parents were musicians.. she grew up hearing music played and singing her entire life.
The Backgrounds are out of this world. This whole concert. Crazy talented. "Stand" is also amazing if you haven't seen the whole tiny desk concert yet. This woman can do no wrong.
I read that her father was a preacher, and she grew up singing in the church, becoming a worship pastor by age 15 so you hear that along with folky influences in her sound.
Absolute facts. *he is a preacher* I had the absolute pleasure of attending and witnessing her talent first hand for years. It was widely known throughout the church that she would be famous. ♥
Yebba is a master at using full ability of her instrument without being gaudy and OVERLY-flashy! This whole concert is a MASTERCLASS! Background vocals are PERFECT! No other word for it. My first exposure to ALL of these songs was this concert, and having heard these renditions first, the album versions just don’t compare. Lol. Omg, her CHOICES! The emotion! Vocal expression!? Pssh!
@@JamesWilliams haha such a classic video. It's SO hard to sing lead vocals when your backgrounds aren't in tune cause even if you're singing the melody with precision, it'll sound off because the background chords are off so the melody note doesn't fit into the chord/scale
True dat! I love listening to his expertise. Absolutely love it. One of my FAVORITE RUclips channels hands down. When I get a notice, I can’t click fast enough….
The masterful backing line from the first tune (Stand) was just outta the park!! Thank you for your musicanship in your feedback about this naturally gifted vocalist and songwriter!
You are the real deal Sir!!! I appreciate some one who knows what their talking about and being able to articulate. It's so many people on line reacting to these songs and all of a sudden everyone's a voice teacher they get in the way of the one's who take it serious and that are really passionate about the craft. It's not going unoticed. Thank you again peace.
Jaron, i just LOVE how thorough you are with these analyses. You are very knowledgeable and it’s obvious that you live what you do. I be listening to music now with you in the back of my head recognizing little vocal nuances ❤
I’m so in love with her she tells a story with her voice. And everything she has been through you can tell it has build her even as a artist. You takes you through every feeling she feels. It’s almost as we are there with her in her story. Beautiful ♥️
I love this breakdown of the performance. It added another layer to the musical choices being made, which has honestly made me appreciate her work even more deeply. As a instrumentalist sometimes I don’t understand the details and nuances that go into why singers make certain choices rather than others, but this helped open up my mind greatly. Thank you!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. She came at a time when I was looking for a new artist, with a new sound, I heard Ashley Jayy… I was super impressed with her sound and I loved her. Then I was sad because she didn’t have a lot of music out at the time and then I found Yebba, listening to how intentional she makes her notes, how she places her words, and everything is something I cannot put into words. I would love to hear her perform in a play, because her voice and how she chooses to use it tells the story. It’s a gift. It’s like eating a bunch of different food items, but making sure they don’t touch
the biggest issue i have had watching videos like this is not understanding all the technical terms teachers act like we are supposed to know. 😬 but u are an expert communicator, my friend. i followed along with the whole analysis! spectacular video!! thank you
Wowww I am so appreciative to have a greater understanding of this amazing performance by YEBBA. I thought the tiny desk was beautiful but you've made it shine! Love this
You are just amazing to learn from. I really appreciate how you take the time to really explain and break everything down. Just wonderful in every way!
First of all... 👏🏾 HOW 👏🏾 YOU 👏🏾 MIMICKED 👏🏾 HER 👏🏾 LIKE THAT 👏🏾 ....AS IF IT'S EASY! SANG!! ...but glad she sang Distance for your analysis...my favorite song of hers and thank you. ❤️
I just happened to click on this Tiny Desk Concert. I had never heard of Yebba before this concert. But omg her voice, the tone -- I couldn't get enough of it. So I am a fan and I am so glad that you did this analysis on her. Jaron, you are so good at this. Thank you.
I'm a big fan of Yebba and this was such an amazing educational video! Glad I came across your channel! Will definitely be watching more to hopefully improve my singing a bit :)
PJ Morton introduced Yebba on one of his albums. Great artist collaborate to complete the genres. SHE sings with such control. YOU can sing and it allows vocal exercises to take place.
I get recommended so many voice teacher reactions and most of them make me wonder why I didn’t just watch the performance itself. You are doing a fantastic job showing genuine (not forced) enthusiasm, making insightful comments AND keeping the viewer engaged by not talking for 4 minutes every pause. Subscribed!
This has to be the best analysis I've heard ever. You give so much useful information and your own voice ... Yes! I love Yebba. My goodness she takes it straight to church with many of her live performances.
Thank you so much for this. I knew something was different but still very beautiful and you explained it for me. Now I can just listen and enjoy without racking my uneducated brain about what's happening 😂😂
I just heard the album after seeing this and the tiny desk performance. And I can hear the subtle changes to that of the album (thanks to your analysis) Live sounds more intimate and has more 'call and response' and different colours in the sound. Album is so good.
yesssss! also, can we talk about her Louie Bag (Live at Electric Lady) and the part midway through the song where she dips into this lower far-off voice? ughhhhh she's so amazing. would love to hear you analyze stuff from that performance!
Just finished watching her world class performance/expression of art on nor tiny desk and came straight here. Thanks Jaron, knew you'd break this down.
Thank you for this informative video. I have a limited musical background and this added depth and knowledge to my already immense appreciation for Yebba and her background vocalists! ❤️🇬🇧😎
She's Southern as well.. from West Memphis, Arkansas... The song evergreen was her 1st time back in church..Her mother died by suicide about a week after Yebba sang her first original song, My Mind.
Yebba has said that her biggest influences are Aretha and the Clark Sisters. You are right on sir 👏🏼👏🏼
I was literally getting Aretha vibes from her music 🤝
Ah! Ok! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Plus her mother was a Minister of Music and organist at their church. Both of her parents were musicians.. she grew up hearing music played and singing her entire life.
Precisely.
This makes a whole lot of sense
I just love how you’re doing all her runs and everything so effortlessly…. sheesh
Haha! Well thank ya!
He’s black lol
@@TheTubes4u Ah, that explains why all black people effortlessly make extremely technical and complicated vocal runs from birth.
Oh, wait. They don’t.
IKR!
The Backgrounds are out of this world. This whole concert. Crazy talented. "Stand" is also amazing if you haven't seen the whole tiny desk concert yet. This woman can do no wrong.
She needs a live studio album
I'd be a HAPPY camperrrrrr.
This woman right here; OMGGGG..
Yebba/Jazmine Sullivan collab
a vocal battle in a song that we havent heard ln a long time but will blend so beautifully. we need!
I read that her father was a preacher, and she grew up singing in the church, becoming a worship pastor by age 15 so you hear that along with folky influences in her sound.
Interesting
Def hear the worship leader sound
You can definitely hear the gospel influence in her voice but also the country and folk she’s from Arkansas
she is a cogic girl
Absolute facts. *he is a preacher* I had the absolute pleasure of attending and witnessing her talent first hand for years. It was widely known throughout the church that she would be famous. ♥
On her My Mind performance when she said, "anybody know what I'm talking about" I KNEW Yebba came from church...
I thought the same!!
Yebba is a master at using full ability of her instrument without being gaudy and OVERLY-flashy! This whole concert is a MASTERCLASS! Background vocals are PERFECT! No other word for it. My first exposure to ALL of these songs was this concert, and having heard these renditions first, the album versions just don’t compare. Lol. Omg, her CHOICES! The emotion! Vocal expression!? Pssh!
Yebba's vocals are ethereal as usual but can we get into the band and the background vocalists 😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 they did that with Yebba.
And we have seen what happens when the background is not up to her standards. ruclips.net/video/40Td-uVdu-8/видео.html
@@JamesWilliams haha such a classic video. It's SO hard to sing lead vocals when your backgrounds aren't in tune cause even if you're singing the melody with precision, it'll sound off because the background chords are off so the melody note doesn't fit into the chord/scale
“Ascending runs are not easy” *then proceeds to flawlessly demonstrate the said ascending run.* *edges gone*
HAHAHAHA I be trying every now and then hahahahaha
YOU BETTER SING JARON!!!!!!! I have watched that tiny desk like 20 times lol.
Hahaaaa thank you! 🙌🏾
Me too!
Same
“All I ever wanted” is my fave song of the year. The tiny desk version though over the album version. It is 🔥
MY ABSOLUTE FAV ❤️
She needs to release a live album TODAY!
@@jaishan09 it would be BANANAS
@@jaishan09 truth!
The depth of your knowledge of the music makes your review just as beautiful as her voice.
Yebba did all of this! So beautifully executed.
Wow! Thank you!
True dat! I love listening to his expertise. Absolutely love it. One of my FAVORITE RUclips channels hands down. When I get a notice, I can’t click fast enough….
I 💜 this, and the fact that you gave the background singers their moment. 👏🏿👏🏿🙌🏾🙌🏾
Had to! 🙌🏾
@@jmlegrairstudio same same
The masterful backing line from the first tune (Stand) was just outta the park!! Thank you for your musicanship in your feedback about this naturally gifted vocalist and songwriter!
Thank you so much! 🙌🏾
Jaron with the quickness! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
😉
I have seen Yebba straight up tell her background singers..."Stop...hold on..I don't like that"...in a concert.She don't play & they be SPOT on😁
I really love your analysis. You pointed out so many nuances in the performance that make Yebba so outstanding. Super cool.
Thank you!
Anytime Yebba starts taking off, I have to call her by her government name, like ALRIGHT ABBEY!!!! singggg
LISTEN! Okay?? Haha
LOL!! I definitely heard this comment as I read it, lol.
i thought i was the only one lolllll i be “SING ABBEY!”
@@aaronnewman7573 😂😂😂😂😂she know what she's doing!
She has returned to Abbey since her mother's passing. Yebba was a nickname her mom used in public initially, when she was young.
Love your analysis, but must give you props for your own voice. Those effortless runs! 👏👏👏
Yes was hoping somebody reacted to this gem.
You are the real deal Sir!!! I appreciate some one who knows what their talking about and being able to articulate. It's so many people on line reacting to these songs and all of a sudden everyone's a voice teacher they get in the way of the one's who take it serious and that are really passionate about the craft.

Yebba is an amazing vocalist❤
Jaron, i just LOVE how thorough you are with these analyses. You are very knowledgeable and it’s obvious that you live what you do. I be listening to music now with you in the back of my head recognizing little vocal nuances ❤
I love this artist beyond words!! She reminds me of the late, great Phoebe Snow. The background vocals are simply HARMONY IN PERFECTION.
I love how you give love to background singers, but these three... just killssssss
I’m so in love with her she tells a story with her voice. And everything she has been through you can tell it has build her even as a artist. You takes you through every feeling she feels. It’s almost as we are there with her in her story. Beautiful ♥️
Perfect description. 👏🏾👏🏾
I love that she used 2 men and 1 woman as her background singers. I think it brought more depth versus height to the overall sound.
The alto/soprano in me was PLEASED to see that as well.
I love this breakdown of the performance. It added another layer to the musical choices being made, which has honestly made me appreciate her work even more deeply.
As a instrumentalist sometimes I don’t understand the details and nuances that go into why singers make certain choices rather than others, but this helped open up my mind greatly. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I'm glad it helped!
This has been my favorite informative vocal reaction. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much! 🙌🏾
True
This dude knows his ish.
She does not miss.I don't know a better way to describe this but her upper registers sound like birdcalls in the most beautiful way to me.
She’s said everything she knows about singing, she learned from listening to The Clark Sisters. Your ear is impeccable!
Oh yes! And thank you!
Went straight to Tiny Desk...Now I m back. Beautiful. The music sounds like the theme music from the TV show Taxi. I could listen to it for hours.
You have the best vocal breakdowns I've seen on RUclips by far! Thanks for putting in the time and sharing your knowledge of the craft!
Thank you so much!
Ive already watched it 10 times. I loved it!!!!!!!
best reaction video ever! ❤

First of all... 👏🏾 HOW 👏🏾 YOU 👏🏾 MIMICKED 👏🏾 HER 👏🏾 LIKE THAT 👏🏾 ....AS IF IT'S EASY! SANG!! ...but glad she sang Distance for your analysis...my favorite song of hers and thank you. ❤️
I LOVE "DISTANCE." And hahahaha I honestly didn't even know I mimicked her like that hahahaha! THANK YOU! Haha!
I just happened to click on this Tiny Desk Concert. I had never heard of Yebba before this concert. But omg her voice, the tone -- I couldn't get enough of it. So I am a fan and I am so glad that you did this analysis on her. Jaron, you are so good at this. Thank you.
I'm a big fan of Yebba and this was such an amazing educational video! Glad I came across your channel! Will definitely be watching more to hopefully improve my singing a bit :)
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
I was HOPING you’d analyzed this very song and I’m SO HYPE! Now let me watch the video 😂
She definitely exhibited her tonal range in this concert. She was doing things vocally I hadn’t heard from her and I was thoroughly shook.
PJ Morton introduced Yebba on one of his albums. Great artist collaborate to complete the genres. SHE sings with such control. YOU can sing and it allows vocal exercises to take place.
Thank youuuuuu!
You broke that DOWN brother thank you this is good
Thank you!
Yessss! You can hear the growth!!
I get recommended so many voice teacher reactions and most of them make me wonder why I didn’t just watch the performance itself. You are doing a fantastic job showing genuine (not forced) enthusiasm, making insightful comments AND keeping the viewer engaged by not talking for 4 minutes every pause. Subscribed!
Wow! Thank you so much!
This has to be the best analysis I've heard ever. You give so much useful information and your own voice ... Yes! I love Yebba. My goodness she takes it straight to church with many of her live performances.
Thank you so much!

She. Did. That. Absolutely💯💯💯💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
One of my favorite vocalists
I've heard of Yebba (the 1st time was w PJ Morton), but I dunno her music, so I'm gonna look up this tiny desk
Love me some Yebba
You help me so much J. I've learned such a variety of techniques I can use in my vocal arrangements. Much appreciated! Thank you.
Dom! Thank you man!
She posted a live version of October Sky, I’d love to hear your thoughts on it ❤️ absolutely love your videos this channel is a breath of fresh air
I've been thinking about doing that one too!
SHE'S A BEAST.
Stand was so good as well! her choices are just amazing. The picardy third in it is beautiful, those BGVs got the assignment !!!
Love her tiny desk!!!
I love how u break down the vocal pedagogy of it all!!!!!!!!!! Im a voice teacher also but damn can i get a lesson lol!
Well thank ya! Cmon teacherrrrrr!
J is the real deal!
This is confirmation for me when you said her voice has evolved that I hadn’t heard from her and I’m more in love with her voice
This video is literaly all I needed!!! ❤
🖤🖤🖤
YESS I was waiting for your reaction!
😉🖤
She went Belmont University for Music,Nashville Tn 💯🤙🏾
Black church has influence on all good music!!!!
Thank you so much for this. I knew something was different but still very beautiful and you explained it for me. Now I can just listen and enjoy without racking my uneducated brain about what's happening 😂😂
Hahaha I'm glad I could help!

Soon as I noticed she had a tiny desk....I came right to your page...here to see what you have to say...👏🏽👏🏽👂🏽👂🏽💃🏾💃🏾

Excellent review. You're and outstanding vocalist as well. 👍🏾👌🏾
Well thank ya :)
I love your vocal breakdowns. I wish I had a teacher to help me develop my voice like you sir.
Thank you!
And you can - if you want! Let's talk!
I just started listening to Yebba and she is amazing!!
I heard Aretha all on this too! Went and watched a video on her YT and she had put b roll of Aretha in a video....Def an influence for her!
I just stumbled across your page. I LOVE YOUR EAR ! & the the thumb thing you do when you say how “bright” they’re being 😂👍🏾
Hahahahaha I do use my thumbs and hands a lot! Haha! Glad you enjoyed!
yesssss! also, can we talk about her Louie Bag (Live at Electric Lady) and the part midway through the song where she dips into this lower far-off voice? ughhhhh she's so amazing. would love to hear you analyze stuff from that performance!
I soo love you! Boy I wish you were my voice coach your amazing
Thank you! We can make it happen!
You are such a pro. Awesome analysis.
