Throughout an emotional, soul-stirring set, the multitudes of Yaya Bey's music and artistry are on full display in her Tiny Desk concert. The New York-bred singer-songwriter opens the show by paying homage to her Barbados roots: reggae-tinged grooves of "meet me in brooklyn" from her powerful 2022 album, Remember Your North Star, that flow seamlessly into "on the pisces moon" from 2023's Exodus The North Star.
Our little corner can be a space for artists and musicians to approach their music in more intimate ways, often leading to incredibly raw experiences. Bey manages to create a sense of closeness with the audience as she emphatically expresses how difficult this performance is for her to get through: "My dad died last year, so I be spacing out sometimes when I do this joint," before diving into the sentimental "reprise."
Before closing the set with "me and all my n*****," a new song from her upcoming LP Ten Fold, which she says she wrote as "an ode to human resilience," she continues to open up about her battle with long COVID: "That mask s*** is real; [this] s*** is hard." Bey's performance feels like peeking into her personal journals, and it's truly healing to experience. Not a dry eye was left in the building.

What a treat. Fresh and with heart. NPR sends a Yaya Bey shaped gift. I do love NPR Tinydesk - it's what makes the internet mean something.
Beautifully vulnerable and emotional and that muted trumpet is great.
Her moment to shine but I can't but think of Bey and Noname becoming a super duo...be well in all things...
Feels like a Miles Davis collaboration.
@@MichaelWalker-wu2pq anyway thx NPR the one day i fly diplomat pff forget about real music?
She is so amazing!! Her music reach my life at the perfect time. Love to listen to such a beautiful soul!!!
My name is DAVID and I bear witness to the truth. We need more YaYa and less rah rah.👊🏿
But also more Rah Digga
I love the traditional reggae sound of Yaya’s band…very cool, clean, well-crafted and relaxing.
