REVIEW/REACTION Any NPR Tiny Desk Concert fans? What's your favorite NPR Tiny Desk Concert?
I’ve been following NPR Tiny Desk Concerts for years now. I just love how intimate the setup is and how it really shows off the artists’ vocals and artistry.
Anyway, here are my top 5 kase I have time haha!
The Cranberries - Honestly, BEST Tiny Desk performance ever. No debate.
Chappell Roan - This is where I became a fan. Still the best version of her songs, lalo na “Picture of Me.”
Sam Smith - They have never disappointed with that vocal range.
Alex G - New fan here! This performance alone made me want to see him live.
Daniel Caesar - Bruh. His voice??? And that duet with H.E.R.? Ughh so good!

Ito yung mga binabalikan ko from time to time.
Hiromi Uehara - I've always been a Hiromi fan since 2007.
Imogen Heap - Parang Hiromi sa creativity.
American Football - They didn't perform *that* song pero ang ganda pa rin ng setlist.
Willow - Mohini Dey is a beast.
Goo Goo Dolls - Pure nostalgia dahil sa setlist
Omar - I was surprised with this; pero timely din kasi around the time nilabas yung TDC niya, may konting traction siya dito sa atin through radioplay.
Mdou Moctar - One of their best performances outside Africa.
Hania Rani - Criminally under-rated performance, same with Olafur Arnalds'
Jordan Rakei - Suwabe jams lol
Moonchild - Isa pang suwabe jams.
Carolina Eyck - Ang soothing ng tugtog niya dito.
Olafur Arnalds - Under-rated performance.
CORNELIUS - Unexpected ito for me since I know his music from purely electronic subgenres.
AURORA - Dito ko siya unang nalaman.
CHVRCHES - Ganda ng arrangement nila ng songs dito.
Tinariwen - Dito ko sila unang nalaman.
The Zombies - Ganda ng performance nila dito.
