About
NPR Music's Tiny Desk concert series has shifted to Tiny Desk (home) concerts, featuring performances from various artists. One standout performance came from the electrifying British singer-songwriter Yola. Known for her soulful and frenetic music, Yola's stripped-down set with guitarist Jordan Tice showcased a different, more intimate side of her artistry. The concert featured beautiful renditions of songs from her albums "Walk Through Fire" and "Orphan Offering," dialing down the intensity but retaining passion. Yola's impressive career includes multiple Grammy nominations for her debut and follow-up albums. She has also ventured into acting, playing Sister Rosetta Tharpe in Baz Luhrman's "Elvis" biopic and later joining the cast of the musical "Hadestown" on Broadway. This Tiny Desk (home) concert offered a unique glimpse into Yola's talent and versatility, making it a must-watch for music enthusiasts.
