*Jhené Aiko kicks off NPR Music’s Tiny Desk “home” concerts, which is “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.”
Per NPR:
Aiko coasts through an eight-song medley that plays like the ultimate nod to her legions of fans, who’ve been begging for a Tiny Desk for a long time. Her latest album, “Chilombo,” released just before the pandemic hit the U.S., doubled down and leaned into the therapeutic nature of her songs — and that same aesthetic fuels her Tiny Desk.
Backed by an ensemble of masked players, Aiko bookends her set with a sound bath of singing bowls that’s peace personified through sound.
SET LIST: “Lotus (Intro)” “Stranger” “Do Better Blues” “To Love & Die” “Born Tired” “W.A.Y.S.” “Summer 2020” “Eternal Sunshine”
MUSICIANS: Jhené Aiko: vocals Julian Le: keys Bubby: bass Gracie Sprout: harp Brain Warfield: percussion
