Fireboy DML: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 мар 2022
- 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.
LaTesha Harris | March 3, 2022
Dearly beloved: we are gathered here today to get through this thing called "Afro-life." Surrounded by lush greenery and soft lavender lighting, Fireboy DML makes his Tiny Desk (home) concert debut from Lagos, Nigeria. The Nigerian singer-songwriter delivers the three-song set with an earnest reverence - his warm vocals reflecting a depth of passion and devotion best attributed to being brought up in a church choir.
Fireboy DML describes his wide-ranging sound - a fusion of R&B, Afrobeats, pop and alté (Nigeria's alternative scene) - as "Afro-life." This ambient, feel-good experimentation emerged in 2018 with his breakout single, "Jealous." He went on to drop his debut album, Laughter, Tears and Goosebumps, in 2019 and his sophomore album Apollo in 2020. A member of YBNL Nation, a record label founded by Nigerian rapper Olamide, Fireboy DML is pushing the vanguard of Afropop alongside contemporaries like Rema, Joeboy and Oxlade. His third album, Playboy, is forthcoming.

The fact that he sounds exactly like the songs recorded
Mannnn he is so talented ❤️😭
Thanks

@@XxQueenChristinaxX 😂
@@rildwanoluwaseyi5322 thanks
I like this version better though (The first song)
Fela Kuti would be so proud of how Nigerians have expanded artistically and continues to be a big part of music. ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Much love to our 🇳🇬
Brothers and Sisters
Y’all and this Fela thing… yes his music was good and he fought bad governance with it but if we are to be honest …. It’s not melodious
@@vewindadrummerboy2473 not melodious? He had some of the craziest arrangements when it came to melody and an unbelievable feel of rythm
Proud of our Nigerian artistes taking their sounds to every corner of the world. Beautiful performance Fireboy DML!
I love african music-- they lift their queens up! Its beautiful to see! :) And a lot of the songs that the males sing are very vulnerable and really emotional. So good!:)
Hello.
jays up
Ik same so obsessed.
That’s cause we love our black Queens and I can’t wait to play this song on my wedding day for my black Queen 👸🏾
0:14 - *Like I Do* (3:19)
3:37 - *Tattoo*
6:31 - *Peru*
[10:37 - Tiny Desk team]
Thank you.
Trumpet player and band killed it and dang fireboy can really sing!
Sounds like Louis Armstrong on the trumpet!! ♥️
I don't think I have seen a trumpeter that scales like this, Bless Up Nigeria, Afro beats to the world
You dey whine Nathaniel Bassey?
@@davidolujinmi1919 well I know, Nathaniel bassey was actually a Jazz player, before he gets into gospel music, but mind you the genre of this song by fireBoy is actually different from what Nathaniel Bassey plays into
I swear he killed every note
@@pocketslife8963 yes ma'am every single note....
thats julius olayiwola...he is a fine trumpeter...you can also check out Etuk ubong, Jesse Ibidun and etuk Uwana...all brilliant nigerian trumpeters
I'm low-key mad at fireboy because honestly we needed these vibes more than 10 minutes. Loved it!
That rendition of 'Peru' was so beautiful!
One of the best Tiny Desk concerts. 🇺🇸 totally enjoyed it
Yes, after tiwa’s lol 😂
Such a gorgeous falsetto, with lots of air and detail, agility with precision. Really nice.
This is my first time seeing/hearing this artist. So dope
He’s a Nigeria artiste
His voice though🔥
When you sabi, you sabi abeg.
We're proud of you.
One of the few afrobeat artist that is natural 💪💪 fireboy is going to win Grammy faster than any of his mate in the industry
Amen🤗🤗🤗🤗
I pray I get to perform on NPR desk someday
Fireboy is such a big inspiration to our generation
I hope it works out for you.

I think he was a worshipper in church
Imagine him sing like I do in Church
