- The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Mitra I. Arthur | December 20, 2021
An unapologetic expression of faith and gratefulness is paired with festive lighting, poinsettias and ornaments in this holiday Tiny Desk (home) concert from Jonathan McReynolds and Mali Music.
Both musicians are prominent in the latest generation of contemporary gospel and inspirational artists, incorporating secular sounds and outreach as an entry point into the "good news" of gospel music. They each follow in the footsteps of Kirk Franklin (and of Edwin and Walter Hawkins before him). Individually, McReynolds and Mali Music's output showcases a marriage of motivating messages and faith, with music that younger audiences are more attuned to. The duo came together last year to release "Movin' On," which yielded "good news" of its own in the form of a Grammy award, followed by a nomination this year for their EP Jonny x Mali: Live in LA. Given how effortlessly they trade-off during this Tiny Desk performance, I can see a Christmas album in their future.
A captivating rendition of "Christmas Time is Here" starts off their performance as their perfectly paired voices float over an understated accompaniment, which includes McReynolds on guitar. From there, the pair treat us to a medley of Christmas carols more rooted in faith, with McReynolds singing triumphantly, "In HIM there is no failure!" during "O Come, All Ye Faithful" and Mali Music delivering a stirring and meditative rendition of "Silent Night." Following the medley, McReynolds and Mali Music treat us to "Movin' On." After another year of still contending with the uncertainty of a global pandemic, the lyrics provide a reminder that "...my rearview can't compare to what God will do with my life."

Him and Samoth! Guhhhhh they fine fine!
You are CORRECT. 👏🏾👏🏾🤣 LOVE him!
He makes it look so sweet!
@@kibby1874 E’erthin!!😂
I expect a Christmas album now.
You can tell they are genuinely fans of each other. Totally unique sounds. Perfectly blended. And they give each other space to shine. Not trying out holler, out vibrato and out run each other to def😂
Tiny Desk you’ve won with this one! 👍🏾 🏅
I didn't ask for or expect this, but thank you to whoever had the musical imagination to do so. Tiny Desk Gold!
RIGHT!!!!
Amen and amen!!
Pretty sure if God is above that was the plan! This is 🔥!
@@ColinStevenJohnson he certainly is above, God bless you and have a good year.
Yesssssssss
Mali ATE Silent Night and Jonathan had the nerve to lean all up and through Mary Did You Know. All utter brilliance. Merry Christmas and my God, my God
Temptations might have some competition now
@@ericae6611 🤣😂🤣 I ain’t wanna say it
That Silent Night. Sheesh!
No one’s talking about the bass and vocal riff at 11:20? Pure gold!
I swear I was about to comment about it. Made me fall in love with it.
Had to play again…
Yessah! I was like that's 🥶
Honestly..
That’s what brought me here from IG
Something about Jonathan’s voice is so pure and innocent❤️
OMG that bassline on moving on is out of this world.
I agree. That's Thaddeus and he is great at bass.
I’ve been following Mali Music since I found Christ in middle/high school & J McReynolds since college. Wow, wow, wow! Silent night & Mary Did you know literally just made me shout in the kitchen! Amazing men. Edit- now I’m still listening to this mix a year later and I’m crying Everytime I hear this and now must hear this playlist every time the holidays approach. We need another Mali and Johnny concert featuring this set!
Not going to lie, I wanna to hear “That’s why your grandma prefers me” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂 Christmas edition!
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Really 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sooo this is about to be added to my Temptations and Boyz II Men Christmas rotation. I need a Christmas album ASAP! Just like this
what a way to wake up... There is a thick fog out and my coffee couldn't be warmer and then NPR releases this. 🤗
Good morning everyone! We have been truly blessed! 😊
NPR WHO DO Y’ALL THINK YOU ARE! This is legendary!!!!
Man I LOVE Malis voice 😭❤
Everytime Mali opened his mouth to sing - I screamed! What a talent 🙌🏾
Loved Kirk Franklyn, Loved both of PJ Morton’s Tiny Desks, but this might be my favorite so far!!! 😱😱🔥🔥🔥💙💙💙 Sooo Gooooood!!!

That transition from Moving on to Go Tell It On the Mountain!! Thank you Tiny Desk. Jon and Mali, thank you for executing and loving God and each other.
Mali and Jonathan are the best thing to happen to music in general. They are both so underrated. I'm so happy for their Grammy nomination
Mali’s vocals🔥🔥 Jonathan too!🔥 amazing duo
i forgot how good mali was. amazing. effortless control, with an amazing, distinctive tone and vocal texture. jonathan mcreynolds, is the definition of control. with inimitable clarity and beautiful phrasing… easily one of the greatest male vocalists of today. and the anointing. and the MUSICALITY. and YES IZAAC ON BACKGROUNDS.
Jonathan McReynolds relies on his falsetto and knows how to use it effectively
And I'm the one who absolutely hates the rundown of Christmas songs every year. But this one was like a spoon full of sugar making the medicine go down for me ((❤))
I'm only 60 seconds in and I got chills already. Two of my favorites. They will have a big influence on music for decades 🔥🔥🔥
Megan! Girl idk if you’ll ever see this but I’m so proud of you❤️. I remember working with you in The Wiz at CFRT in Fayetteville NC and look at you now!!!😭🙏🏾Singing with our current gospel greats! God is truly ordering your steps🙌🏾🏃🏾♀️Praying God continues to bless you and that I keep recognizing you in my favorite online creative spaces😁
Blessings 🌹🖤🤞🏾
I just need to recognize Mr. Thaddeus for his work on Mary, did you know!! That bass with Jonathan’s clear vocal gave me everything I didn’t know I needed.
8 months later and I still come back to watch this every single time. Love this duo so much. Mali is my favorite artiste in the world! Jon, I have no words but I love him so much! 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
If you're from Africa or black, I wish you a joyous Christmas and happy new year 🎉🎄
Wow that "Mary did you know" Thank you Lord for the gift that is Jonathan McReynolds🙌🙌🙌
All I know is that God has truly blessed humanity with Gospel music
From the first note Jonathan sang I got chills ….
YESSS🙌🙌🙌
Humanity blessed itself. No need for god
@@niklaslachmann1038 No need for comments like this on a video of two singers who would disagree with you on that anyway.
@@KenpoKid77i'm on a mission
We need the extended version of this!! Starting this Monday off with a lil CHRISTmas music👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
bass goes wild at 17:08 then camera person & editor tapped in at 17:38 and gave us exactly what we needed. that was beautiful.
Them vocals though. They really sound so beautiful together
The marriage of Jonathan and Mali music gives such a calming rendition of the message of the gospel. Even at my age, 76, I rest in the comfort that they put music to some of my secret thoughts. Blessings 🙏🙏❤❤
What a time to be alive 🥰🥰🥰
🙌☀️🙌
Indeed!
Just watching in 2023! Beautiful combo. I'M MOVING ON ................................
Had to stop this 20 secs in.....then went and grab my good headphones. Yes lord IM MOVING ON. MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄
I'm happy tiny desk did this with them. This is really big and will open many more ppl up to their genre of music and talent.
Amen
Facts…people need music like this
Now, Mali's voice and gift is unreal!!!!!!!
The perfect music playing in your home while sitting in front of the fire place and Christmas tree... Drinking cocoa or something special🤭..... Listening to Johnny and Mali serenade your heart into the Christmas spirit🔊🎶🎶🎶🎶💖🎄☕⛄🦌
Our lives started in the heart and mind of our precious Savior .....even before we were born
Christ knew each and every one of us ❤, and now has love manifested because in him we live and move and have our being .....and I'm so thankful. 🎉

Voices sound like silk and gold 😍 these two artists together are a blessing 🥰
It’s January 6th but watching this finally gave me the feeling of Christmas! Thanks y’all and to Tiny Desk for another extraordinary concert!
This was amazing. The thing that continues to shock me is how many people it takes to create such special moment. Everyone was on, even people offscreen. Thank you to all for serving us in this way. Thanks to Jonathan and Mali for showing up and showing out!

These 2...hmmm...Glory to God🙏🏾
One word: Amazing💕🇰🇪
I love Movin' On, always found it strange that the album version Mali didn't sing the entire 2nd verse, I'm glad he sings it through when they perform live!
Them boys anointed and their voices are just 🤌🏾!
This is such a blessing. Thank you Jonathan, Mali and NPR.
Thank you God, I’ve been feeling so disconnected for the last couple of months but this has touched me deeply. Thank you 🙏🏾❤️

The best gospel artist whether Anyone wants to believe is Mali Music ! Barz beyond Barz! The legend! My musical popz!
It's the appreciation they have for one anothers gift! Individual they are definitely amazing but it's some kind of energy shift when they come together. That anointing increases like nothing else.
Have a Johnny Mali Christmas! It’s the best time of the year! 🎅🤶
my church played this as congregation were coming in today. Made me wish J. Mc was there in person. Wonderful performance.
Потрясающие голоса и исполнение, БРАВО. Рождество наступило чуть раньше).
Как не владеющему языком, оценить уникальность контента невозможно. Но свет, картинка, камера выше всяких похвал. Музыку подобную слышал впрочем неоднократно.
Oooooo Mali’s voice is justttttttttttttttttttttt 🥵🥵🥵🥵 everything about this collab is everything I needed
glad i came back here even after 1 year. You both are great inspirations to a kid like me. Thanks for sticking to your uniqueness. I'll be here someday on same stage with you both
