Yes!! I’m so glad somebody said this! Tone is EVERYTHING and will draw people in far more than being the loudest. One of the main reasons I love H.E.R.
She has perfect pitch. She's been around music her entire life. She comes from a very talented musical family. Alex is blessed with a magnificent voice and is a blessing to us all for sharing her God given talent
I love that she pronounces the lyrics so clearly and I can hear the words of the song. Her voice is so beautiful. She was born to sing. Happy that she's discovered her God-given talent and using her voice to make people feel good! Wish her the best in her career.
Whomever is reading this remember to spread as much LOVE AS POSSIBLE, don't litter, help out the homeless and take care of nature please it's really important we gotta take care of eachother and mother earth. thank you and have a blessed life ❤
Orbit feels like. I'm floating on a leaf that's like a private island in the sky and her voice is the wind hugging me and keeping me safe while I prepare for this magical adventure. Suspended. The essence of this song truly captures orbit.
I almost lost it when she sang into orbit!! That album was my intro to her! I didn’t realize I had been hearing her before then. Her voice and personality is a mood.
I did a double take! I love Alex’s music and I’ve been listening to her ever since I discovered her music on the UA-cam series “First”. Absolutely made my day!!
This woman's voice sounds like a cool drink of water, under a blue sky in the summer. Her disposition feels like the warm sun that goes along with it. Props to Tiny Desk for shining the light on true artists, old and new.
HER VOCALS SHINE TO THE HUMAN EAR. SHE A TRUE ADDITION TO THE ISLEY FAMILY NAME HER VOCALS ARE ON POINT TO HER CRAFT OF PROFESSIONALISM AT THE HIGHEST POINT OF THE WORD IN EXCELLENCE ---DUNMORE MUSIC OF MONEE IL
Alex is so amazing... I’ve been listening to her for a long time now, her voice is a beautiful instrument. Thanks NPR for gifting us with this incredible performance.🙏
First discovered Alex Isley via a Spotify playlist and it was a very memorable day...but this performance was EVERYTHING. Been ages since I heard someone sound the exact same as the pre-recorded studio audio, if not BETTER when singing live! Super refreshing and a blessing to hear and watch. Thanks NPR for blessing us and shout out to Spotify for this musical enlightenment! Alex you are oh so gifted! 💐
A mixture of Aaliyah and Marsha Ambrosius. Your voice is amazingly beautiful. That Isley blood is iconically talented 🙏🏽. I'm just hearing your music extensively and am truly blown away.
I could listen to this, Stacy Barthe and Moonchild looped all day and never realize time passed...sooo relaxing, but can't escape getting trapped in thought with the lyrics.
I don’t need a gameshow to show me what talent means, no malls to show me that they discovered a new talent, a video girl that finally got noticed… none of that 😒 all I need is this smoothness. Nothing else
I love this woman! My wife knows it too! I've been blessed to see her in concert and she does not disappoint. It's amazing that more people aren't even aware such a beautiful soul exists. ❤
This woman is absolutely AMAZING! This vibe and energy is giving me ALL the feelings! Now let me turn out all the lights, pour a glass of wine, turn on my sound bar and VIBE!!!
Finally !!!! Alex should’ve been on here. Absolutely the purest gentle soul around. Her vibe is a vibe!!!! Love ya Alex SN: Her authenticity is Heavenly
I LOVE ALEX ISLEY!! NATIONAL TREASURE!
Amazing 😍 I’ll fall asleep in her bussom
Indeed
She’s awesome, so soothing!!
Awesome and sound Great!!! 👍🏿
KEV!
Her voice is like having a warm cup of chamomile tea with honey and almond milk while wrapped in a blanket that just came out the dryer lol
While cloud watching out of the window lol.
Yassss🥰🥰
So accurate!
All That..
That's it!!!!
also, shout out to quiet singers. sometimes it's just a very healing sound.
Agreed, part of singing is tone, and that tone is all you need to take you somewhere
Yes!! I’m so glad somebody said this! Tone is EVERYTHING and will draw people in far more than being the loudest. One of the main reasons I love H.E.R.
Ditto 🦋
I agree wholeheartedly!!!!!!
Exactly, I feel the same way
Lovely!!!!
Masego!!!!! Love u
A collab album would be nice.
🌬🤍
Just a few months shy of a "Good & Plenty" feature
@@nini86508 and we demand for more colabs.. these are two most talented creatures
She just showed that power doesn't always mean belting out at the top of your lungs. Sometimes its about control and accuracy. AMAZING. 🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The quintessential chanteuse. 🙌🏽
Big facts!!!
Yes
That's may be true but some belters also have control and accuracy. ie. Ms. Houston, JHud etc.
That part
So glad she's getting her recognition!!!!! Day 1's tag that like!
👇🏾
shoutrite91 AMEN! She’s so gifted and talented! 😍😍😍😍
gabby thomas 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
FINALLYYYYY!!
Been a fan for a couple years now
Been here since 2012!
Her whole discography is 🔥. I’m glad she’s getting her shine it’s been long overdue.
LONG!
WOW, YES JADE DENTON, I MYSELF HAVE BEEN WAITING TO HEAR NEW MUSIC👏👏👏👏🔥
Agreed 👏👏👏
2 long,..it was da same,..4 Ari
Okay but I need an actual tiny desk (revisited). She deserves it all! 🔥
Ms. Isley is the truth. Her voice is angelic.
This is the truth
Yes
No lies detected!!! ❤️❤️🎤🎤
That family blood boy!!!
it's PERFECT! Those airy high notes give me CHILLLLLS!
Her voice is just a warm hug around a weary soul saying "it's going to be alright."
She has perfect pitch. She's been around music her entire life. She comes from a very talented musical family. Alex is blessed with a magnificent voice and is a blessing to us all for sharing her God given talent
I'ma Thomas too
UA-cam is so disrespectful for playing an ad in the middle of this performance.
Yoooo, i thought i was tripping or that I had accidentally restarted the vid.
Ikr! I thought I had hit something 🤦🏿♀️
I have premium because of my Google music subscription... No ads ever 😊
mad disrespectful
Swear to Bob I cussed real good when the first ad popped up!🤬🤣
Her vocals are unique, special, and captivating.
Its sweet like Chante Cann
Maria C. Hugg can you imagine that duet! 😫😅
Agree
Stops you in your tracks like I couldn't believe what I was hearing
Ruins in the family
This is amazing, but also sad that we couldn’t see her actually with a band on tiny desk... they better bring her back!!!
Agreed!
I agree!!!
Yes! I really hope they bring her back. Long time coming, so happy to see her on Tiny Desk. ✨
I thought the EXACT same thing
I agree.
I fell in Love when I heard Good And Plenty. Gone made me even more of a believer. She deserves any and ALL the recognition she is receiving
Same here I love her music.
Me too. That bridge in Good and Plenty is just some else
That part! 🎶 💖
Listen to Mine and Love Again!
I love that she pronounces the lyrics so clearly and I can hear the words of the song. Her voice is so beautiful. She was born to sing. Happy that she's discovered her God-given talent and using her voice to make people feel good! Wish her the best in her career.
It's in her blood!!! She's an Isley after all!
come on enunciation!! for real. i feel this too. i love how we can hear the poetry so clearly.
Whomever is reading this remember to spread as much LOVE AS POSSIBLE, don't litter, help out the homeless and take care of nature please it's really important we gotta take care of eachother and mother earth. thank you and have a blessed life ❤
What a beautiful message brother, you have my word..each of us need to offer our world light. Take care and have a blessed life also🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Thank you for checking me and changing my perspective
💯
@@vintageMIC4000 my pleasure. Hope all is well with you and your family
@@niknakxnewz thank you. Hope you and your family are all doing well during this worldwide crisis 🙏
She’s so underrated, this should be at a million.
I just found you. I'm so glad I can feel something again in music. You are AMAZING!!!
I said the same thing! The best artists are underrated because most people don’t value pure unadulterated ART like this. They want to hear “Noise.”
VERY TRUE!!! I have always said she is waaaay underrated
She isn’t underrated, she’s just not known, she needs more publicity.
When you want to tell the whole wide world about the the love of Alex Isley,..music,..🤗
I can tell that she truly loves music, that she loves what she does. Sis is just playing and enjoying her gift! Enjoying it with you babyyyyy ✨🖤
Profound
Yep! Listening to her feels like an invitation into her enjoyment of it. ✨
I would be the same way if my dad was one of The Isley Brothers!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
PLAYING✨✨✨✨
Shes not an Isley for nothin ❤
Oh shoot, another Isley in the midst. Sang it, Sis!!!
If you are an “Isley Brothers” fan, you can’t help but to enjoy this.
She gives me the vibe of Lalah Hathaway, her voice just captures the peaceful part of your nature. 💘
Well, Lalah IS Donny's little girl...
Yes very peaceful! With angelic quality. 😇
I would say aaliyah
This is obviously a dream, right??? 😭
Girlllllll, if you dont say that!!!!!!
Nope, I juuuusssssssstttttt pinch myself. LOL.
She is smooth like melatonin, it is hypnotic.
Katiso Mogaki stay woke!
Right!!!
facts!! 😩😩
That breathy whisper, those easy delicious runs, that feminine tone of beautiful clarity...soo gorgeously fine!!!
Absolutely
The whole Isley family got soul in their voices
wait...so is she related to the famous Isley Brothers?
@@FineFemFit she's actually Ernie Isley's daughter, so yeah
@@justames5979 wait which one is he? I don't know much about the brother Sept they made good music
@@FineFemFit i don't know too much about then either, but I'm pretty sure Ernie plays guitar/bass for the group
@@justames5979 oh ok...thank u. I kinda thought maybe she was related. That name Isley is Musical royalty. Yea she is awesome and beautiful
I'm glad she slowed down into orbit and removed the snaps. It's more peaceful and intimate like just you and your lover talking about life
Please bring her back for a live one. Her music so endearing. Been my favorite singer for years now
0:00 - *About Him* (4:41)
5:20 - *Into Orbit*

Pentameron, thank you for this
Thanks
First time I heard "Into Orbit" was from Phora "To the Moon" I wonder if Alex is the one singing background. I love her voice
@@laydeejoy2 think he sampled it.
Lauren Joy the song is originally by her. Phora sampled.
Her parent is Ernie Isley. Lucky that. She's got her own great sound.
Was wondering was she related to one of the Isley Brothers. Cool.
Wow I was always wondering if she was a Isley sibling that’s just wonderful...
Christopher Huntley sibling?! You mean offs if any thing...
Was wondering which one was her father. Thought it was Ron. I can see the resemblance.
@og shade?
This is definitely her WEEK.....First she was on HBO'S Insecure, now on NPR.
Alex's voice is simply angelic. That's all.
Bring my girl back she needs a full set ! ❤
Orbit feels like. I'm floating on a leaf that's like a private island in the sky and her voice is the wind hugging me and keeping me safe while I prepare for this magical adventure. Suspended. The essence of this song truly captures orbit.
That’s a beautiful, poetic description ❤️
@@rebekkahwilliams4515 thank you angel 💖
Yassssssssssssssssss
@@lucianataylor4067 💖💖💖love
I almost lost it when she sang into orbit!! That album was my intro to her! I didn’t realize I had been hearing her before then. Her voice and personality is a mood.
Yes! But I still want a full tiny desk with her. This will tide us over for a little bit.
Lol
Yessss
It’s her kid’s artwork for me 🥰. Her music is so refreshing; it speaks to my soul 🙏🏾
Yaaassss❤
Wow this just made me day! She’s soooo underrated!!
Fax
Girl extremely 😭
It's so criminal
Yes for the Isley blood, i didn't know this was what i was missing....giving me a soulful 90's vibe like tears & body kiss🥰
Shes from the Isley clan!? Wow! Talent runs through their blood
I should of known after seeing the name Isley
So pure and genuine vibe. 90's vibe
She's Ernie Isley's daughter. He played guitar for the Isley Brothers
Isley name is up there with the wonder,legend,Jordan, jackson,Marley etc. .
That Wilton album she put out with Jack Dine is still being played. Thank you for blessing us with your voice.
Is that ready to find online?? Sorry, I've never heard it
@@CHRISTChrysalisInManhaim yea it’s online. Should be on UA-cam, Spotify, Apple Music. It’s an EP called “Wilton” by Jack Dine & Alex Isley.
@@Coronaboii88 thank you for taking the time to share☺️
Her voice feels like sitting in a flower meadow on a warm breezy day! ☁️🌷🌼🌻🌻☁️☁️
Breezy has entered the thread
Vocals are unforced yet they are so felt with clarity and feelings .
SMOOTH , STRONG , SENSUAL !!!!!
She’s getting all kinds of exposure this week. First, the Insecure cameo and now Tiny Desk. I love it!
I was watching Insecure and screamed so loud when I saw her/heard her!!! She was the cherry on top of that delicious episode Sundae!
I found her like a month or two before the Insecure episode so I was screaming she is getting recognition!
Wait she was on Insecure? When? How did I miss that 😩
@@nechellemonique It was on the block party episode. She was one of the artists performing.
Been rockin with Alex since her mix tapes and 'Black n Sexy'
Same same, that's when I found her too. What a magical time for the internet!!!
Me too!! I miss the Black N Sexy reign. I hate they never jumped off like I knew they could
Yes! That's where I discovered her. Love at first listen.
Yessss only the realest know!
Black N Sexy put me on to so many treasures like her 🤩
How does one have the balls to dislike this masterpiece
Unfortunately haters are among us all over the world🙄 I wish we could change their hearts🤔
like this
She needs to be protected at all costs!! ❤
Late to the party but still on time!🥰 I grew up listening to your family and now so happy to see you adding to the treasure!! Great music Alex!✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Wow, wasn't expecting this. Every time I listen to "About him" I'd always say to myself who ever she is singing to is one lucky guy😁
Him is God I I believe
Ernie’s baby. She’s as beautiful as her music.
I've never heard you until now but it feels like I've known you forever.
Yassss...same. Annnd the exact vibe I needed right now..
Listen to her WHOLE discography!! 😩😩😩

Her voice is like bathing in the radiant sun while floating on a cloud 😂, I could listen to her sing forever honestly
Girl why ain’t you on the radio so much talent
Alex “Butterfly voice” Isley! I think she’s gonna be this generation Sade!
I did a double take! I love Alex’s music and I’ve been listening to her ever since I discovered her music on the UA-cam series “First”. Absolutely made my day!!
Me too!
I never finished the series. Did you?
Same!
Same sis same😭 I watch that series at least every other month to see black love. 😩 Will Catlett is a gem.
@shan Can I haven't found a good web series like that ever. 😭
Her voice is so harmonious and healing. I feel chills all over and I'm crying. It flows out of her like water and through me like heaven.
Lord “Gone” is a whole whole WHOLE vibe
it's the effortlessness for me. She could sing in her sleep and be on key. Simply breathtaking.
When your ears are in heaven...Thank you Alex Isley!
Facts
Finally 😭😭😭 ive been waiting for this. She’s so underrated and deserves every bit of recognition !!
RealTalk
YES SHE DOES... She's AMAZING! Alex Isley, Gwen Bunn & KeKe Wyatt are my favorite most underrated.....
This woman's voice sounds like a cool drink of water, under a blue sky in the summer. Her disposition feels like the warm sun that goes along with it.
Props to Tiny Desk for shining the light on true artists, old and new.
She honestly does not need a fancy set, her voice is captivating enough

I’m feeling very sorry for the 3, up to this point, people that are so blind to this amazing talent and hit the thumbs down button.

A mixture of Aaliyah and Marsha Ambrosius. Your voice is amazingly beautiful. That Isley blood is iconically talented 🙏🏽. I'm just hearing your music extensively and am truly blown away.
How have I missed this voice for 10 years???? Clearly I live under a rock!!!
She's my fave vocalist...been jamming her since her La Brea album. Her music is sound therapy.
Facts. Her voice is soul soothing❤
I could listen to this, Stacy Barthe and Moonchild looped all day and never realize time passed...sooo relaxing, but can't escape getting trapped in thought with the lyrics.
Ernie Isley must be very proud of his daughter. What a smooth, soothing, welcoming voice.
Absolutely amazing her voice is😢 God literally specially made her voice..smh
Gifted
I don’t need a gameshow to show me what talent means, no malls to show me that they discovered a new talent, a video girl that finally got noticed… none of that 😒 all I need is this smoothness. Nothing else
Smooth! Got this on repeat, moonchild, and Robert glasper, as I finish my doctoral degree!
❤🔥
Congratulations to you 🎉🤞🏾
Love her! Her family are the Isley brothers!
This artist is new for me..I’m in love with her voice ❤

The world has truly been blessed with another Master Muscial Artist to help heal our ailing world.... In a word Alex Isley is "Elevating"

Love her sweet, relaxing, melodic voice
One artist I have been waiting for my entire life. From South Africa🇿🇦
A literal tiny desk session
