Hey Tiny Desk Fans, Check out NPR’s Black Stories, Black Truths - a collection of podcasts hosted by journalists who speak truth to power.

i guess im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot my account password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
My kids used to attend an after school program (CDC) when we were stationed Heidelberg, Germany. I remember Khalid and some other boys putting on a talent show and singing some boy band songs for the staff and parents. He must have been in the 3rd or 4th grade at the time. His mom was also a very talented singer. Good memories.
@@cristianacosta6257 I also grew up and graduated from High School in Northeast El Paso - Go Matadors! Let's just say it was a long time ago 🗓👨🦳. Despite the heartbreak caused by the senseless mass shooting, I was really proud to see how the city came together. Khalid has shown that he has not forgotten about his roots and is eager to give back to the community that helped shape him. He is a really good kid.
why do I always love these stripped back acoustic versions on tiny desk better than the original songs. His voice is so raw and I can hear the grittiness and imperfections, its so beautiful
@@Bluey_777 Good thing about it though is you can enjoy these songs both ways; some days I'll feel like jammin to the album version, others I'd like to just chill to the live ones. The amount of production that goes in his albums doesn't take anything away from the fact that he's just talented AF. Cheers!
August . One week before class starts again . Its raining. Dancing in my room in the dark . My depression is cured . Life's beautiful . Thanks for existing Khalid
This is quality music The fact that all of the music presented here are just his firsts songs written baffles me. He's so young, with so much potential , not mentioning his voice has that something that just melts all your problems. Huge fan from the first chord
Let us keep receiving. The video for my new song U Ain’t Gotta Lie from the 3 Piece ’N A Biscuit EP is up on my channel. I would love if y’all could check it out and comment as you are inclined. Bless.
The 915 is so proud of Khalid!!! 💕 My husband teaches at his high school and I got to see this kid sing the national anthem for senior night. Kind and positive kid. So happy for him.
This brother is sick acoustically! Not so sure if I would dig his energy this much in another format.... But at the end of the day all I can say is that the brother on the guitar was having church all by himself! He slayed the total performance!
Doesn't everyone sound better live?!?! More heart, more soul. No clean, desinfected studio recording with videoclip nobody understands but just 2 guys, a guitar and an incredible recording engineer. Please don't ever stop these sessions!
No, some people suck live. most artists can do pretty good. but some, like khalid, can just completely confidently play with his songs however he wants because he has an amazing voice.
I just love Khalid... the quality of his voice brings out a modern style but reminiscent of traditional singing voices from various cultures... it just has a story in itself... Also this session is so chill it's like we jamming and living our best life with that dude in the classroom who plays the guitar and that other dude who just has a mad voice
years before khalid was even a thing, I subscribed to guitarist's channel, jussjef, cas frankly he was fantastic even back then. I'm legit ecstatic to see how much hes grown career wise. well done jef, you deserve it
Dude, Khalid is one of my favorite artists of all time. I love his voice, vibe and song lyrics. Such a pure talent and thankfully I've had the privelege to see him performe live! But let's not forget his guitar player. He was totally connecting with Khalid's voice! Great talent and doesn't get enough credit. Really good, both of them ! :)
khalid is one of the most distinct, unique voices to debut in the last decade. 😍👏🏽 tiny desk is on a serious winning streak with their recent artist choices! 🙌🏽
Hadn't thought about it, but now that Frank was mentioned, y'all should have already had him in for a TDC? In fact, maybe twice by now. You're NPR. Now, great job & get on it with Frank.
I just said the other day that you've got raw talent that the world needs. I'm 46 years old and cannot stop listening to you ALL day. I'm a distance runner and your vibe and voice carry me through....thank you for your talent. Stay original!
Damn, Khalid is so talented. Great to see an artist on the radio with legit talent. Also, huge shout to his guitar player. He kept the guitar dynamic throughout which is huge since most of these tracks are the same 4 chords.
This is how his music should be performed. A guitar and a voice. I love his recordings too but I feel like you lose appreciation for how great he is at singing and songwriting with all the bells and whistles.
i completely agree, i havnt been able to vibe with music lately all i have is lyricless melodies, this though, brings a beauty to his music i already knew and fell off of.
@@elizabethgrey4225 It took me awhile to warm up to his current music but I gave it another chance. His music is overproduced and saturated with beats for no reason. Khalid is a solid artist though.
I respect that and definitely see your point. In my opinion the production quality of his studio track is as good as it gets. I think all the added touches and electronics are brilliant. His voice definitely is the star of the show though.
Tom Misch, Grace VanderWaal, Daniel Caesar, Jorja Smith, GoldLink and Khalid in a space of a month or so. Tiny desk isnt playing at all. Giving us this much fire back to back should be a crime Goddamn. Only question is who is next?
What a sweetheart... beautiful smile but really- he is so genuine, a truly unique artist who is super original. I enjoyed this tiny desk and i thank my dear teenaged daughter, Gracie D for introducing me to such a soulful musician. She's loved Khalid from early on. I see why.

Who else are they gonna give us!?
i guess im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot my account password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
@Roland Ryder Instablaster =)
he looks like his hugs are warm. 🥺
Lol😂😂😂
n. YEES! Like you sigh in the middle of it and feel comfort.
K M Weekes you get it. 😭😭😭
n. Man people don’t realize the power of a good warm hug.
Yessss omg🤣🤣🤣
Khalid's guitarist doesn't get enough credit, so creative
Ben Hurst The guitarist has vids on UA-cam. Check out jussjef.
Yeah he's amazing!
It's flawless. One of the best accompaniments I've ever seen.
walkingpetfish yes he does, since like 2005 thought I recognized him
The guitarist is so legit.

@@JoeMandell- Wow parkland Highschool
So nice when you share some memories with inspiring people

His voice is so incredible, like literally to the point I thought he was using autotune on some tracks he literally wasn't lol
Khalid sounds WAYYY BETTER LIVE. He needs to be protected at all cost!
@@Bluey_777 This. I have been streaming his stuff on pandora. So much production. He doesn't need this on his songs. I feel the same about SZA.
@@Bluey_777 Good thing about it though is you can enjoy these songs both ways; some days I'll feel like jammin to the album version, others I'd like to just chill to the live ones.

only sometimes lol...he sounds straight up terrible in bigger venues and when the song is played at its normal speed
90 percent sound better live .
he's one of the endangered species - a singer that can actually sing
That synchronized head bob at 5:23 was just awesome
Wow 😂
lmao hadnt noticed
You're so right!!
Wow, I just noticed
Almost fell off of my chair
dude on the guitar is killin it
Exactly what i thought through the whole video
Tight af
He's actually so clean and dynamic. acrobatic through the technic shifts
What is the guitarist's name?
@@neilbereal3866 is name is Jef Villaluna
His guitarist is so amazing. His playing, strumming, riffs, and so on are just so beautiful. He can play. He inspires me man.
Smooth operator. Subtle yet powerful style.
very true.
He is Jussjef on YT. I have been watching his vids for over a decade.
he's really good !
Jef Villaluna
How can ANYONE say he sucks?! Four years later and this is still one of the BEST Tiny Desk Performances. ❤️ His voice, his energy, eveything!
commented on this to bring you back to this video ..now lets vibe together 😌
Who said that? He's my faaaaavorite. 💚💚💚
Now, Fred Again.. is the best Tiny Desk performance

Thanks for existing Khalid
That dude on the gat is a legend, he made location sound so good on acoustic
Lol the gat
He must be a maori boy..
Just relised he is from back home..hes on youtube under jussjeff.. foo mean maori mean...
Just by looking at him I knew he was from NZ 🤣🤣
his name is jussjeff.. i've been following him since like 2008.
his voice is literally flawless if not BETTER live with these acoustics
jodie way better. For me, anyways.
I wish he had done 'Angels'. It is a hard song and I haven't heard it live yet.
I think a lot of it is the years of singing these songs now. cause he is even better here than when I heard him live in 2016.
somehow his voice always brings tears to my eyes because it’s so beautiful
NPR aren't playing any games. Been a great month
young simba Misch, Caesar, Smith, Khalid you are SO right
Joseph Kenny Tipton don't forget Goldlink!
Live performances like this, no backing track, no rowdy crowds, truly show the talent behind the songs we love
This is quality music
The fact that all of the music presented here are just his firsts songs written baffles me.
He's so young, with so much potential , not mentioning his voice has that something that just melts all your problems.
Huge fan from the first chord
WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE ALL THESE AMAZING CONCERTS?
Silvia Minosa be your amazing self?!? MAYBE??? LOL
Haha I hope that's why
Clean livin?
Haha yeah that might be it
Let us keep receiving. The video for my new song U Ain’t Gotta Lie from the 3 Piece ’N A Biscuit EP is up on my channel. I would love if y’all could check it out and comment as you are inclined. Bless.
These tiny desk concerts are slowly turning into the only way I listen to music!
CA Lowe Agreed ‼️
These show that the entire industry should go back to recording music this way
I've been that way for years. 10/10 would recommend.
Oooooh my ! Me too 🥹
he's so shy and adorable with the cutest laughter ever :, ) love his music, love his guitarist and love HIM
bro honestly, this is the most raw, clearest vocals that I've heard on any of these videos... well frickin done Khalid
I love his green outfit SO much, real earthy
Right! It's actually my fav colour too. 🥰
This is the most grateful comments section I’ve ever seen lol
Thanks npr for spotlighting all the great music lately
The 915 is so proud of Khalid!!! 💕
My husband teaches at his high school and I got to see this kid sing the national anthem for senior night. Kind and positive kid. So happy for him.
marissacarri cool beans
what's his real name
JUST WHEN I THOUGHT IT COULDN'T POSSIBLY GET ANY BETTER
Just so talented as such a young age. This performance was simply a feast to the ears. Thanks Khalid.
I wanted an intimate video of Khalid singing and I couldn’t have clicked faster when I saw a tiny desk concert! I freaking love these.

CreamintheCoffee BIG FACTS MY DUDE
Beyond dope
Just seconds in and this goes right to the #2 spot. Right after TPAIN.
OMG. seriously loving the voice.
This guitarist has me so geeked. I love his energy, and those facial expressions are so pure. Lol! Everything about this is amazing! Loooooooove it!
Just this week, Daniel Ceasar, Jorja, Goldlink and now Khalid. Npr are the hero's we need but don't deserve
Tsheepac & tom misch
They need sza next
They're basically reading my mind like...
Jordan Knox indeed
legends
Doesn't everyone sound better live?!?! More heart, more soul. No clean, desinfected studio recording with videoclip nobody understands but just 2 guys, a guitar and an incredible recording engineer. Please don't ever stop these sessions!
No, some people suck live. most artists can do pretty good. but some, like khalid, can just completely confidently play with his songs however he wants because he has an amazing voice.
Hozier
Only if they’re good..
@@oliverwest7780 I didn't read the word some the first time I read your comment so I thought that you were about to diss him
def no😂😂😂 some people just can't sing live because there are no auto-tunes to help them sound better anymore.
I just love Khalid... the quality of his voice brings out a modern style but reminiscent of traditional singing voices from various cultures... it just has a story in itself...
Also this session is so chill it's like we jamming and living our best life with that dude in the classroom who plays the guitar and that other dude who just has a mad voice
Guitarist is like.. i'm just here to support my bro. Ain't there to talk or need credits to say who he is.
Jessjef he does alot of amazing covers
@@LTJuggernautdo you know his name??
@@sarthakpatel314 Jef Villaluna
JussJeff.
@@sarthakpatel314 JussJeff is his youtube channel.
years before khalid was even a thing, I subscribed to guitarist's channel, jussjef, cas frankly he was fantastic even back then. I'm legit ecstatic to see how much hes grown career wise. well done jef, you deserve it
he worked with Bj the chicago kid before
Chan Lee yup.. I knew he looked familiar... I subscribed to him many moons ago also.. remember when his guitar was stolen and he was blessed with one
He came out the gates at 17 writing all time classic music. He is already a legend. And this NPR is perfect per u.
GOSH That kid is talented
Which one lol
Juss jeff might be the illest guitar player ever
I can’t get over how he graduated 2016 literally year younger than me lawl
Dude, Khalid is one of my favorite artists of all time. I love his voice, vibe and song lyrics. Such a pure talent and thankfully I've had the privelege to see him performe live!
But let's not forget his guitar player. He was totally connecting with Khalid's voice! Great talent and doesn't get enough credit. Really good, both of them ! :)
NPR is a big part why my days are filled with positive energy everyday. Please never ever stop doing these.
NPR coming thruuuu with all of the recent concerts as always! My heart ❤️❤️
Somebody at Tiny Desk is really out here doing the Lord's work.

Wow I use to watch the guitarists UA-cam videos back in high school. He made it 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
What's his channel??? I'd love to hear it
Yeah fr how do we find him? He's world-class.
I remember during an interview Khalid said his Mother was his biggest musical inspiration 🙌🥹 Love his voice, it is so soothing!!!!
That vocal control has me crying uncontrollably I swear. Also I love that guitarist. Give that man all his heart desires.
khalid is one of the most distinct, unique voices to debut in the last decade. 😍👏🏽
tiny desk is on a serious winning streak with their recent artist choices! 🙌🏽
His voice reminds me.of Tracy Chapman.
"Saved" was the jam for me.... loved it. Beautiful voice.
4 years later and i still come here to enjoy and chill. Thanks npr, thanks khalid
UGH he sounds so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!!
Tiny desk but Big impact.
Frank Ocean. Give m Frank Ocean on tiny desk and my life will be complete
RIGHT

Hadn't thought about it, but now that Frank was mentioned, y'all should have already had him in for a TDC? In fact, maybe twice by now.
You're NPR.
Now, great job & get on it with Frank.
4/4 NPR - Khalid, Daniel Caesar, Jorja Smith, Goldlink
The 1975
tom mitch man !
Don't forget Anderson Paaks set. So good.
Dermot Kenneddy...
Sage's Rain should put Anderson pak on that list
Loving these acoustic versions of his songs that are now consider classics.
I just said the other day that you've got raw talent that the world needs. I'm 46 years old and cannot stop listening to you ALL day. I'm a distance runner and your vibe and voice carry me through....thank you for your talent. Stay original!
i love these video’s so much, they’re so pure and show off the true talent of the artists playing/singing!
So glad I couldn't sleep and this popped up! 💕
*wipes away tear*
NPR didn't have to go that hard for us, but they did
Acoustic and a voice like this. That’s all I need. Great talent and story telling. Hurts but at the same time it’s healing ❤️🩹
beautiful human he is
YAY! Saw him live in Houston and he’s incredible 😭
i love khalid, his vibe, his voice, his personality, his messages, everything. ♥️
Damn, Khalid is so talented. Great to see an artist on the radio with legit talent. Also, huge shout to his guitar player. He kept the guitar dynamic throughout which is huge since most of these tracks are the same 4 chords.
Khalid gives me so much courage to pursue my own music. Love dis boi
When he sings "Location" im transported to another world. Beautiful talent
Wtf khalid now!! You're awesome guys. I never loved a channel like this
seriously guys we need a Frank Ocean tiny desk concert
Nico F. AGREE

Fr
Won't happen in this lifetime sadly.
Agreed.
WHOA IM EARLY AND I SEE THIS MAN ON A TINY DESK, BRUHHHH NPR ARENT PLAYIN ANYMORE.
El Paso Texas represent!
Khalid your voice is soothing and soulful. Kiddos to the guitarist. Love musicians who play from the heart.
Location was beautiful acoustic. Love his guitar player. Guy has talent.
Everytime he smile after one song finish he is the cutesttttt!
Que isso?!?!....Tem que assistir todos os dias essa obra!! Tá malucooo...!!!
i listened to your singing at billboard awards. and i still remember your amazing voice!
I LOVE how warm your heart is. THAT is why I respect you and your music. Swag is cool but heart is cooler. Love what you do. Keep inspiring!
This is how his music should be performed. A guitar and a voice. I love his recordings too but I feel like you lose appreciation for how great he is at singing and songwriting with all the bells and whistles.
Also the 808s 😂

I almost broke my finger clicking on this video when I saw it on my newsfeed
Khalid NEEDS to release an acoustic album!!!!!
Preach !
Such an Old Soul from this young man. Glad he's here; he brings something very unique & fresh with a lot of genuine heart & awareness.
Lol not sure why people are talking about how much a roll NPR has been on. They've been producing amazing Tiny Desk concerts for years.
Tom Misch, Grace VanderWaal, Daniel Caesar, Jorja Smith, GoldLink and Khalid in a space of a month or so. Tiny desk isnt playing at all. Giving us this much fire back to back should be a crime Goddamn. Only question is who is next?
Praise Akinnodi probably daddy Yankee
Praise Akinnodi yep
PJ Morton is on the way. Beginning of July
Wow, the runs are beautiful! Acoustic guitar really brought his voice out.
What a sweetheart... beautiful smile but really- he is so genuine, a truly unique artist who is super original. I enjoyed this tiny desk and i thank my dear teenaged daughter, Gracie D for introducing me to such a soulful musician. She's loved Khalid from early on. I see why.
The tone in his voice! So unique. Love listening to his music.
Love your voice and vibe Khalid, and that guitar guy was great too!
Sounds better live, love it!
Dude on the guitar killing it 🔥🔥
Two truly talented gentleman. Loved you guys!
passo horas ouvindo khalid e n me canso, sou fã demais
That little "Rawr" is my life
Khalid you are the real deal. Your singing is even better live. That was dope!
We asked for Khalid but never thought we'd get him
Please
yes plEaSe
what a dream
ask for B.I.G if he aint available A-F-R-O will do!
JUSS JEFF!! GLAD TO SEE YOUVE BLOWN UP!!
Everything he’s created has been gold. It’s been so cool to grow up with his music ❤
I will say it. That guitarist deserves far more recognition.
