Preach! It gets better with every play, she was outstanding from the first to last track and I can't wait to see her conquer the industry one beautiful crafted piece of music at a time
Her album was the soundtrack to one of my hardest points in life this year. I found her a week before I lost my first love suddenly. And her music helped me through and gave me peace. This is well deserved.
Sending you light and strength girl I lost my first love in a car crash and music got me through it. The pain will never subside but it will get easier to carry it around! ❤️
just learning about Mereba, will definitely listen more. also looked up here drummer (Aisha Gaillard), because you don't see many black female drummers. keeping an eye on her too. Good Job Lady's!
it’s June of 2023 now and I found “Stay True” just a few days ago after listening to “Sandstorm” for months. I love that I can scroll through through this channel, find, & appreciate these gems of live performances of some of my favorite songs. Hearing this music live is so so special
I've been through the fire I felt embers down my spine And I've said "World would you please have some mercy on me? Or could you please lift the curses on me?" I said, you always did Like it the hard way since you was a kid Look at the scars on your leg, you know You keep choosing the wild road Ooh, I'm not sorry Stay sick cause I follow my gut They say I was pushing my luck Ima push me a matte all black truck No, I'm not sorry Stay sick cause I follow my gut They say I was pushing my luck Ima push me a all black truck Ima push me a all black truck Ima push me a matte all- I been through the storm I heard thunder in my heart And I've said "World would you please shine a light up on me? Or would you show me a sign you love me?" I said, you always did Like it the hard way since you was a kid Time after time, again You keep the choosing the wild road
Impressive vocal range and lyrical ability~ The diversity of skills showcased during this performance is amazing. Different vocal styles, poetry, rapping, keyboard, guitar or whatever Backup singer is on point and both guys are good but Chris is crazy with the violin.
I love her music. As I began to hear her music, it placed me sitting on the top of a mountain looking out over the canvas of earth and life until I feel backwards to the earth. When my back connected to it, the dust stirred, my eyes opened to the heavens and I was captivated by wholeness. The background singer and band is fantastic. Drummer - Black Girl Rock.
Giant sigh of relief after seeing her do vocals for Bas and his Tiny Desk that she was able to do her own love mood music and she definitely is a big mood!
this woman is so beautiful. not just her appearance, but her energy and musicality is unreal. she calms me and makes me feel like everything will be okay. how people acquire this level of artistry and confidence will always amaze me.
That first performance alone...oh my gosh, she has never stopped impressing me from the day I was lucky enough to find the visual of her album here on youtube. I'm so gratfeul she is making her art. It feels like its speaking directly to me.
And she opened with Blacktruck😭❤ everything about this performance is incredible. The guitar, her skin, her flow, nothing short of amazing... Simply perfect; also S/O Insecure.
She is truly a beautiful yet articulate artist in this day in age. Her voice and tone is truly unique yet her words are poetry. Thank you Tiny Desk for blessing your viewers with this beautiful talented women 🙏🏽 love her ❤️
So blessed by this performance,Mereba is a phenomenal,true,badass artist ! Saw her live at Baby’s Alright in NYC earlier this year too thank you tiny desk for showcasing true gems 💕
I clicked because I thought she looked absolutely beautiful in the thumbnail. I stayed because her voice is so mesmerizing; energy is just so pure; her words are like honey: they stick but it would go over your head if you aren’t paying attention ✨✨✨💕
I like this. Above all I love that plain major seventh chords at the beginning of the second track and ensuing singing by her. It reminds me of something I dreamt when I was a kid. Major seventh chord got some beautiful soul within. I noticed her diverged taste and that added icing.
Tiny desk keep their ear on that true pulse of music.
yass! always introducing me to artists I've never heard of
TimmWith2Ms Nothing but the truth. I love it.
TimmWith2Ms they sure do!!
Yeees
If you cannot preform it live, you in the wrong house my guy.
I’m glad Mereba is getting her recognition, she’s been fire from the jump 🔥 The Jungle Is The Only Way Out is a phenomenal piece of work
Preach! It gets better with every play, she was outstanding from the first to last track and I can't wait to see her conquer the industry one beautiful crafted piece of music at a time
Facts!!!!!
one of the best albums of 2019!
This woman brings tears of joy to my eyes.
I love her style
"Don't plant a seed in your mind if you do not wish to grow it"💯👏
What a brilliant line! Tattoo worthy.
No Regrets Baby Just Good Vibes Over Here Ty🙏🏾
Basically buddhism in a nutshell
she has PRESENCE. voice, musicianship, poetry, and beauty.
Her album was the soundtrack to one of my hardest points in life this year. I found her a week before I lost my first love suddenly. And her music helped me through and gave me peace. This is well deserved.

I think we'd ever barely comprehend as listeners.

Yassssssssssss I'm so fortunate she was discovered
Black Truck is how I found her and never turned back. This is beautiful. 💗
Same

@@ezmunny difficult to find musicians these days it's all just falks that can harmonise that get passes off as people that can sing or artists
spillage village baby
You've been blessed
I swear her music has healing/restorative properties. This is so beautiful
I've watched this about 200 times. "Black Truck" and "Dodging the Devil" touch my soul.
Collectively and individually her band looks like the most amazing, interesting, loyal friends ever.
just perfect.
We all saw this comment and gushed over your kind words. we are indeed loyal friends and its so beautiful that you picked up on that!
The energy is so organic to the point you just start smiling as if you’re in the same room with her 😩
This was EXCEPTIONAL!! This is one of the best Tiny Desks I've seen. Plus she's just so gorgeous. I'm so mesmerised by her
Namhla Sithole no lie no lie
You didn't lie 😭
Hey Sis, I still come back to this years later. Love you.💛Ntombi
This girl is special! She's not trying to fit into a category. She's just coming from the heart! She's beautiful too! (Inside and out!)
Word to that "broken people ain't always the brokest" people are quick to believe money fixes everything,
Jasz Mathurin this is the best statement I ever heard in my life 🙏🏽
I'm SCCCRRRREEEEEAAAAMING! Samthandi! I loooove her!
That's why we share a surname ❤️
Simthanda sonke❤
Sonke siyamthanda, she's amazing ♥️
She is everything man yohhh🙌🏾😍 it's nice to see South Africans hop onto her music🙌🏾🔥🔥
I'm glad I'm not the only one in S.A who's mad hyped by her😍
That poem was everything I needed but didn't know
facts!
Her voice is enchanting, and the poetryyyy 💜💜
Mereba is CRIMINALLY underrated.
it’s June of 2023 now and I found “Stay True” just a few days ago after listening to “Sandstorm” for months. I love that I can scroll through through this channel, find, & appreciate these gems of live performances of some of my favorite songs. Hearing this music live is so so special
First of all QUEEN.. you're golden!
Second of all QUEEN you sound like the magic you bring to this world.
That guitar hit me long before anyone opened their lips 🥰😍
I've been through the fire
I felt embers down my spine
And I've said "World would you please have some mercy on me?
Or could you please lift the curses on me?"
I said, you always did
Like it the hard way since you was a kid
Look at the scars on your leg, you know
You keep choosing the wild road
Ooh, I'm not sorry
Stay sick cause I follow my gut
They say I was pushing my luck
Ima push me a matte all black truck
No, I'm not sorry
Stay sick cause I follow my gut
They say I was pushing my luck
Ima push me a all black truck
Ima push me a all black truck
Ima push me a matte all-
I been through the storm
I heard thunder in my heart
And I've said "World would you please shine a light up on me?
Or would you show me a sign you love me?"
I said, you always did
Like it the hard way since you was a kid
Time after time, again
You keep the choosing the wild road
I'm so in love with mereba, her energy is amazing
Finally the queen has a chance to come through!
Impressive vocal range and lyrical ability~
The diversity of skills showcased during this performance is amazing.
Different vocal styles, poetry, rapping, keyboard, guitar or whatever
Backup singer is on point and both guys are good but Chris is crazy with the violin.
thank you!!!!!! check me out! the whole fam is amazing!!
Black Truck does things to me
I find my inner peace with her woo note
Absolute same.
What she does is so phenomenal. From her energy, to her voice, to her lyrics, and the music... this was a great pick for tiny desk.
Love this!!!! really wish she done sandstorm tooo
wouldnt be good without JID tho
@@farrisdurrani6269 I looove me some JID but I honestly think she would've still killed it without him. She's a great artist
Still they have a back and forth part between Mereba and JID. That's what makes the song great. Mereba is still awesome
Yes! My favorite song. 💕
Yessss I love that song 💗
Her voice is so soothing 🥺
She's so cool. She seems so intune with herself ❤️❤️
Her tone is as fine as her complexion.
I
Like
That
Cant believe I'll be seeing her live for the first time next week!!!
The Jungle IS The Only Way Out is the best album of 2019, she needs more recognition like this
I love her music. As I began to hear her music, it placed me sitting on the top of a mountain looking out over the canvas of earth and life until I feel backwards to the earth. When my back connected to it, the dust stirred, my eyes opened to the heavens and I was captivated by wholeness. The background singer and band is fantastic. Drummer - Black Girl Rock.
wow... these words.. thank you Queen!!!
Sister Phyllis wow amazing description
Homie on the electric violin though 🔥
Chris Hellastrings Check him out!! Theres a whole project on soundcloud
Bruh...that violin set the tone. Had the stank face when I heard it with immediate goosebumps 😂
@@flofearless9173 right?? Dude is mad talented.
Her album is a VIBE. SO HAPPY they got her on here. When she gets on tour, I'm in there!
Her voice is so. Boom. Like, when she goes into rapping she's just so, like, in her power. I don't know how to describe it. I'm just in awe.
It's literally 5 AM but I don't care. I LOVE MEREBA!! 😍😍😍💜
serenity6831 it’s 6:33 right now idc with lol
She is just present when she sings, there's so much realness any time she's on it.
I love her voice. Not just singing but just her voice period. So smooth, easy, and strong.
She is such an ethereal beauty with a lovely and unique voice.
I got to see her live now! So proud of you Mereba. Best click I've made all 2019
So happy for this set. I love her vibe musically and naturally. 😍😍😻
I keep coming back here🥺😭
Mereba touched my soul💜
Giant sigh of relief after seeing her do vocals for Bas and his Tiny Desk that she was able to do her own love mood music and she definitely is a big mood!
Seriously my whole life soundtrack of 2019. I love her dearly. So happy for her!
this woman is so beautiful. not just her appearance, but her energy and musicality is unreal. she calms me and makes me feel like everything will be okay. how people acquire this level of artistry and confidence will always amaze me.

She’s a real one and her pen is something else 💕
I- she is so beautiful.This whole performance is so beautiful
Baby!!!! Her background vocalist went clean tf off!!!! She can sang!!!!!
She’s so worth seeing live! I saw her in a small crowd while everyone else went to go see usher perform, and I know I didn’t miss out on anything 🧡
That first performance alone...oh my gosh, she has never stopped impressing me from the day I was lucky enough to find the visual of her album here on youtube. I'm so gratfeul she is making her art. It feels like its speaking directly to me.
She's so soulful and her music so spiritual. I just feel like she *knows* things (teach me sis! 😭). Such a vibe! ❣
Fresh sound & I love that these desk productions draw attention to all the amazing band musicians out there.
Perfect playing band, Mereba good performance👏.
Tone. Skin. Braids. Color. Words. Band. Dope af 🔥
And she opened with Blacktruck😭❤ everything about this performance is incredible. The guitar, her skin, her flow, nothing short of amazing... Simply perfect; also S/O Insecure.
She is truly a beautiful yet articulate artist in this day in age. Her voice and tone is truly unique yet her words are poetry. Thank you Tiny Desk for blessing your viewers with this beautiful talented women 🙏🏽 love her ❤️
