Lila Iké: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- 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.
Rising reggae star Lila Iké has an all-encompassing vibe, and you can feel it in this Tiny Desk (home) concert. Lila and her crew of musicians outfitted a home in Jamaica for this video, and the layout resembles the Tiny Desk's home in Washington, D.C. I was thrilled to see that Lila performed her hit single "I Spy" for this quarantine concert; it's full of the flair I've been missing the last several months. Lila's vocal agility can bend notes and transcend genres, the kind of voice that makes you want to turn to your friend at a show and say "Is she for real??" On "Solitude," she blends avant-garde R&B with contemporary reggae in a hauntingly elegant song complemented by violinist Sean "Ziah" Roberts. "Thy Will" (which borrows from the iconic reggae rhythm section Sly & Robbie) ends the set with an uptempo banger. I hope these vibes have a lasting effect and provide a tropical respite during the fall and winter months.
SET LIST
"Solitude"
"I Spy"

How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.

Well said. Another way: if someone made something - not for you - and called it yours, would you call it yours? Why?
Love❤

These background singers should be kept. They compliment the vibe so well. Reminds me of Sade.
The vibrato from lila is amazing
The locs, fro, bantu knot, and a touch of Violin got me holding a whole VIBE.. AYEEE

My thoughts exactly. She is so talented
Nice !
Me…four? I can’t count ppl but I can count beats 😎
I really like the new school of Jamaican female artists. Their sound is so fresh and refreshing, especially this one, Lila Ike. Her style is not flashy, but it's the natural look and her great singing style voice which makes her so amazing. I expect huge things from her.
Some others not just Jamaica..try awa fall..a Rasta.sister. try nattali rize.. Australian.. aboriginal?. Hip hop . Lady leshurr.. Nadia Rose 🌹..and then..sampa The great. Awa from.senegal. ..sampa.zambia. Lady and Nadia England then sa-roc mereba.... Yes young female talent. Times.be.good. praises blessings Jah Herb
Ofcourse
Got a chance to catch Michael Kiwanuke a few years back - even though I don't listen to mainstream radio, I SO appreciate Tiny Desk series for the chance to catch recent generations of PHENOmenal musicians of color I'd not likely ever hear. This young artist nails it!
Yes, yes. You are right. There is some seriously good talent stirring up jamaica right now....
jamaica big for music
Caribbean vibe like afrobeats inna rudegirl vibration 🔥 🔥
The violin is a nice touch.
Yessss
its more than a touch ;-)
This is the vibe we want in the house today.
right
Tiny desk notifications are the only ones I click on without asking is this worth my time. Tiny desk is always worth the time.
Real talk!
Agreed...never disappointed

Lila pan the bomboclaat Mike !!!
Protoje brought her to the UK several years ago,I saw her in Bristol she was unknown at the time instantly you knew this girl was different.Tenderly brought through by genius Protoje, In the 37 yrs I’ve been avidly following Reggae,I’ve never seen a female artist emerge as good as Lila.Potentialy she’s Icon class .❤️🇯🇲🎤🇯🇲✊🏿🇬🇳
Absolutely Agree! Yeah!
I agree also! She has the potential to be a massive star.
I can’t wait to see her progression. I have high hopes. I think we haven’t seen anything yet!!! 💯 She might have to pivot out of that roots & culture niche I think, but we’ll see 😁
Nice development
Reminds me of some lovers rock sounds on Capital Radio years ago
The Violin guyyy
Making that violin in solitude speak!
Yes!!

Fayaaaa. Blessings.
The background singers are a vibe and the violinist 🔥

The description says "Lila's vocal agility can bend notes and transcend genres, the kind of voice that makes you want to turn to your friend at a show and say "Is she for real??"" and that is exactly what I did as soon as I heard the first song in this set. Lila Ike is my new favorite artist~ ~such smooth vibes~

Her voice is soothing, its very calming
This Queen's a star in my book so many great tunes wow and pretty wow 😊

Wow. Reggae mixed with funk mixed with Celtic fiddle mixed with blues .....

Agree
This sounds delicious to my ears. Her voice never disappoints
Tue
Goosebumps. What is this? Mind blown. Everything with this band is on point. The lil violin, the guitar, the drums and the killer backup singers. Love the way the back up singer held back in the first song and just killed us softly and easy does it style. Wow. The beautiful hair. No weave in sight. This is black beauty and black excellence.
How is that even possible … sitting there easy, music so smooth and powerful 🙆🏻🤷🏻🫵🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽📿🫶🏽 when sno Allegra heard that, she quit …
and this concert finishes STRONG.... "CRAZY SELF TAUGHT!" violin
That voice and that violin is like butter for my soul! Oh so good!
groovy! real musicians playing real music so refreshing!
Yes, very nice
Lila lke proves why she is one of the most exciting new female Reggae artist on the rise. I got Solitude on constant rotation. 'Thy will' on Sly & Robbie's classic Baltimore Riddim is on fire. Great live set. NPR does it again.
I'm in love with Lila ike
yes queeny... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏿👍🏿🇭🇹🇭🇹
