Yes!! I’m so glad somebody said this! Tone is EVERYTHING and will draw people in far more than being the loudest. One of the main reasons I love H.E.R.
She has perfect pitch. She's been around music her entire life. She comes from a very talented musical family. Alex is blessed with a magnificent voice and is a blessing to us all for sharing her God given talent
I love that she pronounces the lyrics so clearly and I can hear the words of the song. Her voice is so beautiful. She was born to sing. Happy that she's discovered her God-given talent and using her voice to make people feel good! Wish her the best in her career.
Whomever is reading this remember to spread as much LOVE AS POSSIBLE, don't litter, help out the homeless and take care of nature please it's really important we gotta take care of eachother and mother earth. thank you and have a blessed life ❤
I almost lost it when she sang into orbit!! That album was my intro to her! I didn’t realize I had been hearing her before then. Her voice and personality is a mood.
Orbit feels like. I'm floating on a leaf that's like a private island in the sky and her voice is the wind hugging me and keeping me safe while I prepare for this magical adventure. Suspended. The essence of this song truly captures orbit.
Alex is so amazing... I’ve been listening to her for a long time now, her voice is a beautiful instrument. Thanks NPR for gifting us with this incredible performance.🙏
I could listen to this, Stacy Barthe and Moonchild looped all day and never realize time passed...sooo relaxing, but can't escape getting trapped in thought with the lyrics.

First discovered Alex Isley via a Spotify playlist and it was a very memorable day...but this performance was EVERYTHING. Been ages since I heard someone sound the exact same as the pre-recorded studio audio, if not BETTER when singing live! Super refreshing and a blessing to hear and watch. Thanks NPR for blessing us and shout out to Spotify for this musical enlightenment! Alex you are oh so gifted! 💐
I did a double take! I love Alex’s music and I’ve been listening to her ever since I discovered her music on the RUclips series “First”. Absolutely made my day!!
Thank you Alex Isley for allowing your gift from God to help recharge all of us who have been searching for that melodic flow mixed with your delightful spirit. I've been listening to you for quite some time and I love everything you put out. You are mine my Musical Muse❤
Literally, some of the best harmonizing I have ever heard in my life. Her voice is so angelic and soothing. This song matches my vibration so perfectly. The first song is now in my Top 5.
This woman's voice sounds like a cool drink of water, under a blue sky in the summer. Her disposition feels like the warm sun that goes along with it. Props to Tiny Desk for shining the light on true artists, old and new.
Been rocking since 2013, I'm glad more people are being introduced to her music. But, that she is still making music that exhibits are angelic voice. Lyricism is always her thing, but her singing whisper notes. Whewww. Yassss..
Finally !!!! Alex should’ve been on here. Absolutely the purest gentle soul around. Her vibe is a vibe!!!! Love ya Alex SN: Her authenticity is Heavenly
I love this woman! My wife knows it too! I've been blessed to see her in concert and she does not disappoint. It's amazing that more people aren't even aware such a beautiful soul exists. ❤
Her voice is like having a warm cup of chamomile tea with honey and almond milk while wrapped in a blanket that just came out the dryer lol
While cloud watching out of the window lol.
Yassss🥰🥰
So accurate!
All That..
That's it!!!!
also, shout out to quiet singers. sometimes it's just a very healing sound.
Agreed, part of singing is tone, and that tone is all you need to take you somewhere
Yes!! I’m so glad somebody said this! Tone is EVERYTHING and will draw people in far more than being the loudest. One of the main reasons I love H.E.R.
Ditto 🦋
I agree wholeheartedly!!!!!!
Exactly, I feel the same way
I LOVE ALEX ISLEY!! NATIONAL TREASURE!
Amazing 😍 I’ll fall asleep in her bussom
Indeed
She’s awesome, so soothing!!
Awesome and sound Great!!! 👍🏿
KEV!
She just showed that power doesn't always mean belting out at the top of your lungs. Sometimes its about control and accuracy. AMAZING. 🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The quintessential chanteuse. 🙌🏽
Big facts!!!
Yes
That's may be true but some belters also have control and accuracy. ie. Ms. Houston, JHud etc.
That part
Lovely!!!!
Masego!!!!! Love u
A collab album would be nice.
🌬🤍
Just a few months shy of a "Good & Plenty" feature

Okay but I need an actual tiny desk (revisited). She deserves it all! 🔥
RUclips is so disrespectful for playing an ad in the middle of this performance.
Yoooo, i thought i was tripping or that I had accidentally restarted the vid.
Ikr! I thought I had hit something 🤦🏿♀️
I have premium because of my Google music subscription... No ads ever 😊
mad disrespectful
Swear to Bob I cussed real good when the first ad popped up!🤬🤣
So glad she's getting her recognition!!!!! Day 1's tag that like!
👇🏾

gabby thomas 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
FINALLYYYYY!!
Been a fan for a couple years now
Been here since 2012!
She has perfect pitch. She's been around music her entire life. She comes from a very talented musical family. Alex is blessed with a magnificent voice and is a blessing to us all for sharing her God given talent
I'ma Thomas too
Her voice is just a warm hug around a weary soul saying "it's going to be alright."
This is amazing, but also sad that we couldn’t see her actually with a band on tiny desk... they better bring her back!!!
Agreed!
I agree!!!
Yes! I really hope they bring her back. Long time coming, so happy to see her on Tiny Desk. ✨
I thought the EXACT same thing
I agree.
Ms. Isley is the truth. Her voice is angelic.
This is the truth
Yes
No lies detected!!! ❤️❤️🎤🎤
That family blood boy!!!
it's PERFECT! Those airy high notes give me CHILLLLLS!
Her vocals are unique, special, and captivating.
Its sweet like Chante Cann
Maria C. Hugg can you imagine that duet! 😫😅
Agree
Stops you in your tracks like I couldn't believe what I was hearing
Ruins in the family
I love that she pronounces the lyrics so clearly and I can hear the words of the song. Her voice is so beautiful. She was born to sing. Happy that she's discovered her God-given talent and using her voice to make people feel good! Wish her the best in her career.
It's in her blood!!! She's an Isley after all!
come on enunciation!! for real. i feel this too. i love how we can hear the poetry so clearly.
I Love her music. All I can say is that when I see her name or hear her voice, I stop,look, and listen😊
I can tell that she truly loves music, that she loves what she does. Sis is just playing and enjoying her gift! Enjoying it with you babyyyyy ✨🖤
Profound
Yep! Listening to her feels like an invitation into her enjoyment of it. ✨
I would be the same way if my dad was one of The Isley Brothers!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
PLAYING✨✨✨✨
Shes not an Isley for nothin ❤
This is obviously a dream, right??? 😭
Girlllllll, if you dont say that!!!!!!
Nope, I juuuusssssssstttttt pinch myself. LOL.
She is smooth like melatonin, it is hypnotic.
Katiso Mogaki stay woke!
Right!!!
facts!! 😩😩
That breathy whisper, those easy delicious runs, that feminine tone of beautiful clarity...soo gorgeously fine!!!
Absolutely
I fell in Love when I heard Good And Plenty. Gone made me even more of a believer. She deserves any and ALL the recognition she is receiving
Same here I love her music.
Me too. That bridge in Good and Plenty is just some else
That part! 🎶 💖
Listen to Mine and Love Again!
Late to the party but still on time!🥰 I grew up listening to your family and now so happy to see you adding to the treasure!! Great music Alex!✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
She’s so underrated, this should be at a million.
I just found you. I'm so glad I can feel something again in music. You are AMAZING!!!
I said the same thing! The best artists are underrated because most people don’t value pure unadulterated ART like this. They want to hear “Noise.”
VERY TRUE!!! I have always said she is waaaay underrated
She isn’t underrated, she’s just not known, she needs more publicity.
When you want to tell the whole wide world about the the love of Alex Isley,..music,..🤗
Whomever is reading this remember to spread as much LOVE AS POSSIBLE, don't litter, help out the homeless and take care of nature please it's really important we gotta take care of eachother and mother earth. thank you and have a blessed life ❤
What a beautiful message brother, you have my word..each of us need to offer our world light. Take care and have a blessed life also🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Thank you for checking me and changing my perspective
💯
@@vintageMIC4000 my pleasure. Hope all is well with you and your family
@@niknakxnewz thank you. Hope you and your family are all doing well during this worldwide crisis 🙏
I almost lost it when she sang into orbit!! That album was my intro to her! I didn’t realize I had been hearing her before then. Her voice and personality is a mood.
She gives me the vibe of Lalah Hathaway, her voice just captures the peaceful part of your nature. 💘
Well, Lalah IS Donny's little girl...
Yes very peaceful! With angelic quality. 😇
I would say aaliyah
The world has truly been blessed with another Master Muscial Artist to help heal our ailing world.... In a word Alex Isley is "Elevating"
Yes for the Isley blood, i didn't know this was what i was missing....giving me a soulful 90's vibe like tears & body kiss🥰
Shes from the Isley clan!? Wow! Talent runs through their blood
I should of known after seeing the name Isley
So pure and genuine vibe. 90's vibe
She's Ernie Isley's daughter. He played guitar for the Isley Brothers
Isley name is up there with the wonder,legend,Jordan, jackson,Marley etc. .
Her parent is Ernie Isley. Lucky that. She's got her own great sound.
Was wondering was she related to one of the Isley Brothers. Cool.
Wow I was always wondering if she was a Isley sibling that’s just wonderful...
Christopher Huntley sibling?! You mean offs if any thing...
Was wondering which one was her father. Thought it was Ron. I can see the resemblance.
@og shade?
0:00 - *About Him* (4:41)
5:20 - *Into Orbit*
[10:31] - *Rain Clouds* (13:56)
14:01 - *Gone* (17:49)
Pentameron, thank you for this
Thanks
First time I heard "Into Orbit" was from Phora "To the Moon" I wonder if Alex is the one singing background. I love her voice
@@laydeejoy2 think he sampled it.
Lauren Joy the song is originally by her. Phora sampled.
Oh shoot, another Isley in the midst. Sang it, Sis!!!
If you are an “Isley Brothers” fan, you can’t help but to enjoy this.
Love love love Alex Isley!
This is definitely her WEEK.....First she was on HBO'S Insecure, now on NPR.
Orbit feels like. I'm floating on a leaf that's like a private island in the sky and her voice is the wind hugging me and keeping me safe while I prepare for this magical adventure. Suspended. The essence of this song truly captures orbit.
That’s a beautiful, poetic description ❤️
@@rebekkahwilliams4515 thank you angel 💖
Yassssssssssssssssss
@@lucianataylor4067 💖💖💖love
Vocals are unforced yet they are so felt with clarity and feelings .
SMOOTH , STRONG , SENSUAL !!!!!
It’s her kid’s artwork for me 🥰. Her music is so refreshing; it speaks to my soul 🙏🏾
Yaaassss❤
I'm glad she slowed down into orbit and removed the snaps. It's more peaceful and intimate like just you and your lover talking about life
Wow, wasn't expecting this. Every time I listen to "About him" I'd always say to myself who ever she is singing to is one lucky guy😁
Him is God I I believe
The whole Isley family got soul in their voices
wait...so is she related to the famous Isley Brothers?
@@FineFemFit she's actually Ernie Isley's daughter, so yeah
@@justames5979 wait which one is he? I don't know much about the brother Sept they made good music
@@FineFemFit i don't know too much about then either, but I'm pretty sure Ernie plays guitar/bass for the group
@@justames5979 oh ok...thank u. I kinda thought maybe she was related. That name Isley is Musical royalty. Yea she is awesome and beautiful
She’s getting all kinds of exposure this week. First, the Insecure cameo and now Tiny Desk. I love it!
I was watching Insecure and screamed so loud when I saw her/heard her!!! She was the cherry on top of that delicious episode Sundae!
I found her like a month or two before the Insecure episode so I was screaming she is getting recognition!
Wait she was on Insecure? When? How did I miss that 😩
@@nechellemonique It was on the block party episode. She was one of the artists performing.
Alex's voice is simply angelic. That's all.
Her voice feels like sitting in a flower meadow on a warm breezy day! ☁️🌷🌼🌻🌻☁️☁️
Breezy has entered the thread
A wall full of trophies.....
Ernie’s baby. She’s as beautiful as her music.
Been rockin with Alex since her mix tapes and 'Black n Sexy'
Same same, that's when I found her too. What a magical time for the internet!!!

Yes! That's where I discovered her. Love at first listen.

NPR!!! Bring Alex back! She deserves so much more! Her music is Grammy worthy, angelic voice.
She’s beautiful
Her voice is so harmonious and healing. I feel chills all over and I'm crying. It flows out of her like water and through me like heaven.
Yes! But I still want a full tiny desk with her. This will tide us over for a little bit.
Lol
Yessss
Love her sweet, relaxing, melodic voice
I could listen to this, Stacy Barthe and Moonchild looped all day and never realize time passed...sooo relaxing, but can't escape getting trapped in thought with the lyrics.
Finally 😭😭😭 ive been waiting for this. She’s so underrated and deserves every bit of recognition !!
RealTalk

Love her! Her family are the Isley brothers!
Ernie Isley must be very proud of his daughter. What a smooth, soothing, welcoming voice.

Alex Isley is a National Treasure ❤😇

One artist I have been waiting for my entire life. From South Africa🇿🇦
A literal tiny desk session
I’m feeling very sorry for the 3, up to this point, people that are so blind to this amazing talent and hit the thumbs down button.
She honestly does not need a fancy set, her voice is captivating enough
Lord “Gone” is a whole whole WHOLE vibe
Please bring her back for a live one. Her music so endearing. Been my favorite singer for years now
I love this woman! My wife knows it too! I've been blessed to see her in concert and she does not disappoint. It's amazing that more people aren't even aware such a beautiful soul exists. ❤
