Tiny Desk Live performance : NPR


Earlier than we begin, a warning: This live performance features a music about suicide.

From the second Yseult stepped behind the Tiny Desk to rehearse, her fearless, full-out vitality left the group in shock. The French singer-songwriter blends chanson française, R&B and pop with a punk-ish je ne sais quoi. You’ll have seen her carry out through the closing ceremony of the 2024 Summer season Olympics, however her vulnerability and experimentation makes Yseult a no brainer for our Tiny stage.

The vigorous set kicks off with two hauntingly lovely tracks, “SUICIDE” and “MTV.” Yseult then gives a glimpse of an unreleased music, “PROBLEMATIC,” adopted by the upbeat “CUTE,” which coaxes the group with its playful, but easy groove. The ultimate music, “GARÇON,” is the cherry on prime of a efficiency that will likely be etched in my mind eternally. Yseult does all this whereas donning a t-shirt with the phrases “BITCH YOU COULD NEVER,” a music title from 2024’s MENTAL, on full show. Truthfully, she’s proper. I do not assume any artist might have executed what she did.
