    If you knew how often I watch this… I’m a writer and I can never get enough of the lyrical magic Tank and the Bangas provide my inspiration. Thank you, Past Studios. This has been a special treat for me since the click that landed me on it. Appreciating your work in the North. ~Sheeara, Alaska

    What a beautiful gift to be able to dissect words and their pronunciation at the same time in time with musical rhythms. Yeah, they from heaven. Done.

    I love Tank and the Bangas. Who else wants to hear Jelly go for a whole song? I think their pairing is phenomenal. Some things are just meant to happen.

  • @stylecollective-qt9um
    @stylecollective-qt9um 6 лет назад +206

    COME ON, VOCALS, LASHES, & LIVE INSTRUMENTATION!!! I love Jelly's ad libs, she makes me smile ❤️ , and that Tank - she's so insanely pretty! The camera loves that face as much as the mic loves that voice of hers and that's the God's honest truth. 💯

    This video gives us a closer look at the dynamics of their improvisation. The restraint and thoughtfulness of the flute-player, and the way the background singer is always one step behind Tank. All of these musicians are just so talented, it´s hard to take in in just one watch.

    I just discovered them last night and I am so irrevocably obsessed. They are bringing me so much poetic inspo, I haven't done spoken word in about a year and they just reminded me why I love it so much. They're music is so unique and I love their energy and friendship and it's beautiful and they are all so beautiful

      Saw them last week in PDX - super fun! I love the way they operate in that hybrid zone of rnb, soul, funk, and hip hop- almost every song has elements of all of these. Masterful arranging!

      @waynedexter 4 года назад +2

      It funny. Every video with 1K views or more has at least 1 dislike. This has been happening for last 15 years now. But yet there’s always folks bring attention to dislikes asking how or why. Makes me think why comment on something that’s pretty much ubiquitous. Especially considering that what’s most important is the views, not the dislikes.

    One of the best performance from a genius band. Jelly is very sexy in this green dress, she is the queen of backing vocal (she deserves her how solo career, but please come back). Tank once again not only sing perfectly but also makes me smile, she able to beam good energy, not only through her voice, but also her gesture and her look. the keyboards players and drummer (sorry I forgot your names) are very talented, their skills adds perfect melody.
    big love from France, je vous aime !
