About

NPR Music's Tiny Desk concert series has adapted to the current situation with Tiny Desk (home) concerts, showcasing performances from various artists worldwide. In a recent standout performance, rising reggae sensation Lila Iké brought her all-encompassing vibe to a specially set up home in Jamaica resembling the traditional Tiny Desk setting.

During the concert, Lila Iké wowed viewers by performing her hit single "I Spy" along with the hauntingly elegant "Solitude" where she blended avant-garde R&B with contemporary reggae, accompanied by violinist Sean "Ziah" Roberts. The set concluded with the high-energy and iconic reggae-influenced track "Thy Will." Lila Iké, born Alecia Tameka Grey, is a Jamaican reggae singer and songwriter known for her vocal agility and genre-transcending style. Her debut album, The ExPerience, released in May 2020, has further solidified her position as a rising star in the reggae scene.

This Tiny Desk (home) concert not only highlighted Lila Iké's immense talent and unique style but also provided a tropical musical respite for fans during challenging times, showcasing the power of music to uplift and connect across borders and boundaries.
