Tiny Desk Concerts are a chance for musicians to perform in an intimate setting with a live band behind them. Lizzo usually performs with a backing track but this time, she was accompanied by her very own jazz band.

When she starts singing, it’s as if the earth starts to shake. She belts out her hit single “Cuz I Love You” and the audience goes wild. Watching, we get nervous that “this tiny-ass desk” can hold all of Lizzo’s power and magnificence.

“Crying cuz I love you but now I’m crying cuz you get on my f***ing nerves,” she quips, before launching into “Truth Hurts.” This version is more stripped back with gentle backing, but there’s nothing gentle about Lizzo’s performance. She always gives it 100% and her passion rips apart the room.

Lizzo concludes her set with “Juice”, which is full of surprises. She invites the crowd to become her backing singers and midway through, she pulls out her flute for an unexpected solo. As always, her performance concludes with an important message of self-love.

In case you missed it, you can watch her full set here:

“NPR Tiny Desk” are intimate concerts which display a wonderfully versatile and eclectic range of creative and unique musical talents. Here are five performances you just can’t miss.

Erykah Badu

Erykah Badu is an artist who sings from the soul and takes listeners on their own spiritual journey. Her lyrics are sometimes playful and sometimes deadly serious and are accompanied by a unique arrangement of jazz and hiphop music. Watch her play “Rimshot”  and “Green Eyes” in this special short set.

Anderson Paak & The Free Nationals

Anderson Paak & The Free Nationals take inspiration from an eclectic set of genres and produce a soulful combination of everything with hip-hop roots. Watch them blow the audience away with “Come Down” “Heart Don’t Stand A Chance” “Put Me Thru” and “Suede”.

Ibeyi

These twin sisters tap into their Afro-Cuban roots to create mind-blowing music which transcends cultural boundaries. Watch them play “Oddudua” “Deathless” “Valé” and “Transmission/Michaelion”.

Tom Misch

Tom Misch and his band ooze talent and that sweet jazzy flavor. Their complex rhythms keep the audience on their toes and they continuously surprise and impress. Watch them play “It Runs Through Me” “I Wish” and “Movie” here.

Jorja Smith

This powerful and ambient performance showcases Jorja Smith’s remarkable vocal talent. Watch her play “On My Mind” “Teenage Fantasy” and “Blue Lights” at her dimly lit, atmospheric Tinky Desk concert.
