      It's tough, but, usually when I buy an album from some tiny desk artist, album versions become close to as good for me, sometimes even better.
      Plus, you get so many more songs!

    The genuine perspective of her lyricism mirrored by the talent of her backing band is something on a whole new level. If she keeps them around and collaborates to have more tracks like these renditions she will be a force to be reckoned with. This performance was a glimpse of what the future of music can be, she can lead the way and I really hope she does. Everything about her is very well thought out and just on another level, I Stan.

      @thesmellycatjazz 5 років тому

      @@sapphirejones7302 it depends on the artist. Anderson.Paak, Tom Misch, and several others have very similar energy of their studio and live performances. It's one thing to have a more complex arrangement for a live setting. It's another to completely abandon the original feel. T Pain is a perfect example of this. His Tiny Desk was nothing like his original work, and it was shocking. Now flip the script and you got this. I absolutely love this version of artist. When I look up her albums, it's no where close to being as good. And that's a bummer
