Tiny Desk Live performance : NPR

As quickly as Coco Jones stepped behind the Desk, donning a stupendous silver gown and a brilliant, heat smile, it was obvious that we had been about to witness a star shine. The singer-songwriter has obtained flowers from the likes of Beyoncé, Chaka Khan, Patti LaBelle and Babyface. So expectations had been excessive for Jones to show precisely why she is a standout amongst a brand new era of R&B artists — and she or he doesn’t disappoint.

Jones wields her voice to disclose her energy, vary and management. She units the tone with the gorgeous ballad “You,” which flows proper into “Double Again” and a handful of fan favorites from her debut studio album, Why Not Extra? And simply as Jones and her band have you ever on the sting of your seat craving extra, she welcomes The String Queens trio, which provides one more luscious layer to the hypnotic pocket of “Right here We Go (Uh Oh).” The live performance concludes with Jones’ emotionally uncooked breakout hit, “ICU,” a second that seals the deal on Jones’ plain star energy.
