GIVĒON: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- NPR Music's Tiny Desk series will celebrate Black History Month by featuring four weeks of Tiny Desk (home) concerts and playlists by Black artists spanning different genres and generations each week. The lineup includes both emerging and established artists who will be performing a Tiny Desk concert for the first time. This celebration highlights the beautiful cornucopia of Black music and our special way of presenting it. We hope you enjoy.

"Just bear with me while I just enjoy this and soak in it," GIVĒON admits with a laugh. Switching between the demeanors of a seasoned, nonchalant crooner and a giddy-grinned newbie, the fast-rising R&B star makes a point to show his humility during his long-awaited debut at Tiny Desk.
Accompanied by a minimal, masked-up band and only one background vocalist (a fellow Pisces at that), the baby-face baritone fills the set with resonance and light. He radiates gratitude with every note. Against a blue, moody backsplash of projected music video stills, GIVĒON notes the divine timing of this performance. "Any moment to do this would be special," he says between songs, "but I think Black History Month ... just celebrating Black culture for this month, I'm really excited to get to do this on this platform."
Through the throes of the pandemic, GIVĒON has remained remarkably busy. In a span of eight months, the Long Beach, Calif. newcomer has released two solid EPs, the Grammy-nominated Take Time and When It's All Said And Done. (The latter included one of our favorite songs of 2020, "Still Your Best.") For his Tiny Desk (home) concert, he borrows from each project to arrange a tantalizing 14-minute sampler - showing off just enough to get you to do your Googles and discover more.
Much like the moment he's trying to savor, GIVĒON's strength as a singer-songwriter is his ability to make his listener feel suspended in time. As fans quickly discovered on his breakthrough "Chicago Freestyle" feature last year, the peaks and valleys of GIVĒON's tone and the satisfying patterns of his runs don't just serenade; They immerse, they engulf. GIVĒON's star rising during a time of such sustained uncertainty is no accident, either. Between vulnerable storytelling and clear vocals, GIVĒON's work provides so many with what they're craving right now: intimacy and consistency.

Any chance you guys gonna bring him back for another one?
Bring giveon back for a part 2 please 🙏
I did not know he was a Pisces. I guess that’s why I’m so drawn to all his music because I can relate completely.

He said “I don’t wanna keep you much longer”... Sir. Keep me as long as you want. My ears have been blessed

Saw him open for Snoh Aalegra about a year ago. It was his mom's birthday and he FaceTimed her from stage to have the crowd sing happy birthday to her. I'm sure she's proud of this young man. A class act.
Best birthday ever! I am very proud of him,thank you 🥰
Moms?? That you?
@@pearl1445 Woah

his voice is deep and soft at the same time.. like how🤯🤯
He’s so fine 😩
Baritone color, love that.
@@emilronhe’s not a baritone
the fact that his voice is HIS voice is crazy . his voice doesn’t need to be touched to sound good .
It’s really crazy!
@DeiLux77 huh????
So true! This TD has made me like home more. I feel like he sounds so much better here. His voice is too touched up for me at times.
yess!
To be fair it's all been mixed and that but yeah he has a great strong voice
Only thing wrong w this is he only did 3 songs 😫😫
RIGHTTT!! talking about "i am not going to hold you long." WHAT??? we here for the long haul! what is he talking about lol
Agree I said please please Give-on 😋
Honestly hey
Indeed!
Unfortunately nearly all Tiny Desks Concerts are like 3 songs :(
I feel like I should have dressed up and got a date for this...
I sure did!!!
🤣🤣
I’m in my house like I’m at a stage show fangirling screaming squealing every thingggg😩😆😆
I felt this comment in my soul
I felt the same lol
The background vocalist was reading Giveon's body language the entire time, that's why she knew exactly when to step in and when to pull back. I love that so much! 🥰🥰🥰
the way tiny desk don’t EVER miss! Giveon, we here. Giveon always makes everything feel better🥺🥺

Thanks, Marcel
This performance gave me chills. Is anyone else curious about the end? The way he walked away, the genuine sadness in his eyes... . My heart felt that.
I’m so blessed to still be alive in a time like this, especially to witness Giveon’s success 😩🥰
I AGREE!
Yep
Drake's great
Giveon being a Pisces explains it all 😭
Don’t tell our business 😭😭😩😫 we’re in tuned with our emotions
Yesssss
Oh nah... a Pisces?!
This whole performance is a vibe
Great voice gives hope in new soul music your man got it he is a problem
Thank you for your work Predator Poachers TO
Facts
In a nutshell.
Slept on this guy but what an amazing artist he is
His artistry, lyricism and he ability to capture a lot of people with the emotion he puts into his music.
Amazing brother🔥
I been staring at him, respectfully.
Same🥺💕
RESPECTFULLY.
this is the part where i call you out as a simp but we shall forgive this one
The profile pic😂
@@kadariuscoston386 in my defense i took it before this video was released lol
the warmness in his voice baffles me every. single. time.
His voice is like velvet and honey
This is the perfect description
@@emily_355 Agreed! It's mesmerizing to listen to!
It doesn't make sense how that makes sense
FR IVE ALWAYS SAID HE GOT DAT HONEY
He’s so good live it’s ridiculous
Always trippy when a singer sounds exactly like they sound on the record given all the autotune and voice editing these days. Super duper performance. "When It's All Said And Done... Take Time" is a masterpiece
He sounds even better live
He has auto tune live as well if you can’t hear it. It’s still there
@@willymartino with how unique his voice is, auto tune doesn’t make much of a difference. He’s nothing less of raw talent.
@@willymartino Maybe some reverb but I don’t think there’s insane auto tune.
@@willymartino watch genius and him. He sounds the same and theres no instruments or anything
Some people have a tone to their voice that sounds like auto tune.
"Pisces are emotional, maybe that's why I make songs like this"
Your soul and writing is beautiful Giveon
"Can't wait to watch this with my Mom". I'm sure a lot of his specialness comes from her. Mom is so important in every life.
💘 please enjoy her while you are lucky enough to still have her Alive. 💘
You never know when they are not there anymore... I miss my Mom so much at times.
Much Love!
“Long Beach California?!” Wow when he sings to me he almost gives off a British accent. Which to me sounds fire. I might be alone on this...I’m willing to accept that😅😂
I agree 😂😂
No, I thought for sure he was British!
I have the same issue. People tell me that I sound British as well.
Definitely not alone. I thought the same thing!
I had a similar thought
Finally my baby is getting his recognition🥺 I want him to myself but still
Omg Yes I felt that🥺🥺🥺
ikr i want him to remain my little secret but happy to see him getting the recognition he deserves
They should add the "heartbreak anniversary" 💕🤧
Who you tellinggggg
Your neighbor lol
tiktok pa
Not a tiktoker , I listened to all his songs , Bakit ? Tiktoker kaba dahil napansin mo ? Ikaw lang pala adik sa tiktok eh
Just saying the truth 🤧
Honestly, discovering Giveon's music was one of my highlights from 2020. He has such a unique sound
Sameeee
Same the one good thing to come out of 2020
Yes so true
On god
Omg yes! Listen to his Apple Music interview, it made me fall in love with him 😍
I just love how he admit he is emotional because his whole vibe is so beautiful. Im a cancer and i could connect to each song :-) I love him
every aspect of this man is just so fine.
Isn't!? Like girl he is sooo F. I. N. É, his face, voice, atitude, style like i'm Just 👁️👄👁️
@@claudinamoniz8198 YUPPP‼️
"THE BEACH" - 00:19

El pana de los minutos 👏🏾
THANK YOU
God bless you I can’t believe he didn’t do heart break anniversary 😭
Merci
Gracias
Can this pandemic be over so I can see this man perform live! 😭
The way he walked off the stage though that was beyond smooth 💯
WE NEED A BRENT FAIYAZ AND GIVEON TINY DESK COLLAB.
it would be a chef's kiss.😌
Giveon : *sings*
Me (a straight male):🤰🏼🤰🏼🤰🏼🤰🏼🤰🏼
Word brother... Word... That dude does some mind trick with his voice 🤣
😂😂😂😂
OnG
Me to men who listen to giveon 🤰🏽🤰🏽🤰🏽
😂😂😂😂
Shorty bodied those background vocals. This was great everyone did amazing.
His voice has to be the smoothest deep voice I’ve heard in my life and he’s slept on SO much
Him and Ravaughn need to collab on an actual song. Also I love how he was loving on the band and Ravaughn.
I thought that was her..!
We're looking at an upcoming R&B legend
Live is always better. He was nervous but his voice got comfortable. Love this man.
We need a Frank Ocean and Giveon collab one day
Giveon: For those that don’t know me, my name is Giveon.
Me: The real ones know, Giveon. 💯
😍
Facts
lol that's right
@@rushjl92 you know the vibes.
You’re handsome
I feel so proud of him and I don't even know him. Watching him grow is so amazing 🥺 he sounds exactly like he does in the tracks too!
He out here eating his own CD’s
I am so grateful for these concerts. Any other time I try to find live performances I can barely hear the artist because the audience is screaming the lyrics with them. So nice to be able to hear their voices raw, and I love live bands as well. Thank you NPR!
his voice is so therapeutic and angelic
Her doing that echo in the back shook me ok siiiiiiisssssss
I’m expecting 100 songs from him this year nothing less
He is an incarnation of the greats. His pure heart, smooth vocals and emotional connection, is much needed in modern rnb.
I loved the fact he represented the Pisces and explained his emotional attachment and how he creates his music. Pisces ♓️♓️♓️ in the building. (I love all signs though, beautiful people).... I wish he did Vanish or World we created! Love all his music though.
signs mean nothing, grow up
Ngl I was expecting a set list like Feilds, Vanish, Like I want You, Stuck On You. Honestly i just wanted Vanish ;(
I wanted vanish too!!! 😭😭😭
I was also waiting on vanish
You have been invited to the game :-}
For real I wanted Garden Kisses, Vanish, Favorite Mistake. It’s alright this peace we had of him it’s something. In life we can’t ask for to much!!
I would've also loved more song, vanish or even last time
I just adore GIVĒONs voice. His music is so peace
Hoping ppl come to this video to see that HE CAN SING!
I’m convinced Giveon is an angel 😫😭❤️🔥
He’s been the only the only artist that’s kept my attention this way in the last 6 months. That album is 10/10
We wanted heartbreak anniversary, like I want you & still your best 🥺
You still snapped tho 🤍
he did do like i want you tho 😭😭
Emiliano Gzz I know that, I just meant that we wanted those three together 😭
Me too
Y’all wouldn’t believe how many times I play this video everyday. This is by far my favorite performance on RUclips.
His voice sounds like something deep, something that doesn't exist
Yess Sis. I can actually feel it...crazy.
Like the undiscovered part of the ocean.
its really sounds like slowed & reverb
@@ryujinmidzy1291 I spent 2020 thinking this only to find out its natural I almost died
This was my EXACT thought!
Why is no one commenting on how great the second singer is!!!! The smoothest vocals!!!!
Am I the only one who thought this man was from the UK
Nope, certain words he pronounces very much makes you think he's from elsewhere.
I thought so too!!
Meee
He said he's a Cali boy..I was like no way bruv😂😂
don’t worry i did too😭
@@pandaeyes04 ☠️☠️☠️
you can tell that he's literally the sweetest guy omg
giveon is the music imma play when it’s time to clean on a Sunday morning nd my kids gon be fussin😩
ugh yes ! my kids gon be so mad at me 😩 like shut up my giveon playing 😩
Feel free to check out my work, as I'm a young producer who makes stuff similar to this artist! Feedback would be very much appreciated!
His vocals and RaVaughn's GO SO WELL together omg. also the whole band is just A1
I cant stop playing this yall seriously since last night man that boy does something to my soul and the instruments are everything i love the way he looks at that beautiful black queen
My cancer heart knew he was a water sign. The emotions in his music is so impeccable. 🥺😭
I love the fact that he mentions his mom often 🥺 💕
right
the drummer is killed this performance as well as the whole band 🔥🔥🔥
You mean Dre?
Not my crying for the 4000 time listening to Stuck on you ❤
4001
i can’t believe it went so quick. talent
Pretty sure his backup singer used to be a solo artist herself
Yeah Ravaughn had a few good songs. Same ole BS on the think like a man album is 🔥
She still is but I think she started as a background singer as well. Her sister Rhyon Brown is talented as well
@@josephcallahan4444 didn’t she work on Nas joint too ?
"Best friend" By Ravaughn, good throwback!
It’s cool how he brings it to a personal level makes you feel like you’re there with them
Best 14 minutes of my day
reminder that you should come back and relive that best 14 minutes
His emotions, voice and sweet personality is a whole attractive mood.
I love how appreciative he was about the opportunity
If halle bailey and Giveon did a collab... I can't even finish that sentence. My ears would be ruined. that's all the music i would need for the rest of my life.
Heaven
Wow what a great collab idea!
Or even him and jazmine sullivan 🥰🥰🥰my word
Or even him and jazmine sullivan 🥰🥰🥰my word
Absolute heaven
we need a part 2 because this wasn’t enough😩
Real
talking about “i won’t take too much of your time”... Sir, please stay forever
Okay😂😂😂
That "Stuck on You" performance at the end was fireworks!!!
Giveon really out here giveong it his all.
😂😂😂I see what you did here
As old as this Tiny Desk is I always come back to it because it’s just that good 🙌🏼🥺🔥❤️
smoothest man on earth, ain't even a contest
Masego joint the chat....
so blessed i found him i’m addicted he’s the future of music
Honestly he's so good
This man breaks my heart on a daily basis and I love it.
His voice is literally AMAZING
Y'all need to bring him back cause we need about ten more songs ! 😭
