The R&B star celebrates her new album, Heaux Tales, with a Tiny Desk quarantine concert.
The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk 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.
I don't recall any other artist at the Tiny Desk harmonizing their own introduction, but Philadelphia's owndidn't waste a second, greeting us all by flexing those once-in-a-generation chops from the jump. The singer-songwriter, draped in a trench coat while her band sports all black, are nestled in the corner of a dimly lit space resembling a cabaret.
We don't see or hear much from Jazmine Sullivan until she has something to get off her chest. She drops a body of work every five years or so, shakes up the world of R&B with each offering, then quietly goes back to minding her own business. Her latest project,, is a bold and timely conversation piece addressing truths regarding relationships, sex, social norms, self-worth and a myriad of other topics that women graple with.
