We Spent the Morning with Jhené Aiko, Her Tarot Cards, and Her Beloved Cats | Wa.Backed by an ensemble of masked players, Aiko bookends her set with a sound bath of singing bowls that’s peace personified through sound. Her latest album, Chilombo, released just before the pandemic hit the U.S., doubled down and leaned into the therapeutic nature of her songs - and that same aesthetic fuels her Tiny Desk. As a songwriter, she leaves no stone unturned, explicitly expressing her struggle, joy and sexuality while always administering the vibe. Jhené Aiko Efuru Chilombo has carved out a space of her own over the past decade, despite a rapidly changing R&B landscape. The Los Angeles native’s star status is a result of her music’s versatility and vulnerability. 1, 2020 | Bobby Carter - In this Tiny Desk (home) concert, R&B star Jhené Aiko coasts through an eight-song medley that plays like the ultimate nod to her legions of fans - fans who’ve been begging for a Tiny Desk for a long time. It’s the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space. Introducing NPR Music’s Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world.
The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future.
