Deqn Sue rose above a crowd of close to 7,000 entries and almost won our Tiny Desk Concert Contest earlier this year. I so loved her song and her performance of "Magenta" that I invited Deqn Sue - along with her producer, Kelvin Wooten - to my desk to perform that song and more.
What you'll hear is a witty soul and a powerful singer backed by precise beats, melodic bass and electronics, all wrapped in humor and heart. You can find the first song she performs here - "Bloody Monster," which she wrote after being on the receiving end of a racist comment from her roommate - on a new EP called Snack. And you can watch her Tiny Desk Concert Contest video entry here.
Zeitgeist is available now.

Charmed by her unabashed originality. So refreshing to see someone who has not lost their connection to their pure personal creativity. Polished in places, but also feels spontaneous too. Content dictating form, not fitting content into form.
She is beautiful! Omg
Well said
A tip: you can watch movies at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Nash August definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone} for years myself :)
Her smile is an important part of the songs
+Jose Espinoza It's very radiant and inviting, yes.
a smile is diplomatic in most circumstance , but I think even the blind would appreciate this music
how's not everybody not commenting this guitar player's amazing groove?! he's everything!!
Ikr I see him over there jamming
Bass*
*Electric bass guitar if you want to get pedantic :)
Adam J Ready Electric 4 string violin bass guitar* Fixed
That's kelvin Wooten, he produces for Anthony Hamilton
tiny desk has been putting me on to some cool artist. She's out there but I like her.
same here
megajames3000 \(￣< ￣)>
lol i just go through and add everyone they have to my favourites list
She was Great Last Night at the Orion Theater in Huntsville AL! Love her energy and stage presence. She's truly original
that dude is putting in some work!! Go dude...he is playing like ten instruments
Yaaas!!
And playing them well.
He is da real MVP. A superb musician this man, with lots of passion.
the way that dress pops against the colour of her skin and the sound of her voice 😍
LOL she make me smile in a good way....quirky, and fun & FLAME!!!!!...YES.
Lol
+Erica Cochran made
+Tiara Burns yeah I know. When I noticed it i didn't feel like changing it..... sorry for my poor grammar I'm lazy lol😁
The music is great; but that smile.. . It's like a ray of sunshine. Love it!
lmfaoo totally wasn't expecting her to say "crazy bitch" i was singing along and said that out loud
roftlmao i did that at work and my boss looked at me wtf ?
Mel Beltrán I'm def singing this at work lmao....
Ought to become a meme.
I love her spirit, smile and I NEED that dress in My Life!! Thanks NPR.
I keep coming back to this every couple of months. She just puts a smile on my face, and they sound great.
Time to relisten!
Me too
@@aday9159
Thanks for the reminder. It's time.
This makes me laugh in the best way. I love her originality and spunk !
She made me laugh too, especially 3:13-3:20. I just love how she sang that part, haha.
This artist reminds me of my little sister when she was about five and would write all these wacky songs such as "Monster, Don't Touch My Hair" (her hair was incredibly curl and people always wanted to touch it) and my personal favourite, "Furballs On the Run" (also a homage to her hair)
That dude on the instruments is GREAT!!
this has been stuck in my head all day. i hate myself for coming back to it. but i can't stop.
right!!?
I feel like Magenta could be a show on Broadway with a fierce drag queen in a glittery magenta fit as the lead
Yuuupp
I listened to this song while sleeping, i jumped of the bed to see the name, it's so good
she has the voice of NO ONE ELSEE!! i love it!! so unique and her music is really relevant :)
i love the way she sings like talking
Yeah. She is definitely weird, but in a really endearing way. I like this a lot.
Eccentric and eclectic!
I'm really curious as to whether the craziness comes more from her or from him, actually. Either way, they are a perfect fit for each other, awesome!
I could imagine that she would be much less spunky with a less playful accompaniment. That producer is REALLY in the zone, it's a pleasure to watch. That or her spunkiness allows him to go wild. Eithet way, they seem to bring out the best in each other.
@@muenchhausenmusic - She's unique and I love that, but Kelvin is a beast!! It's an experience in itself just watching him create.
I want that motherfuckin' dress.
+Karla De Leon Isn't it beautifully flowery and minty?
And I want her undressed
Seems like a transaction is made where Karla gets the dress after Manuel gets her undressed
THAT Dress though!!!
.....as Regimeshifts sees a business opportunity.
Something about her shows a genuine beauty..beautiful woman here
WOW ,,. its massive swagger ... i haven't smiled to a NPR Ever like this thank you,, ill Play again. .
I'd love to hear them play with a full compliment of real acoustic instruments. Their music really is great - at least what I've heard here.
This. Was. Beyond. Amazing. She is so incredibly captivating and the bass line running throughout is the coolest and grooviest component to her voice. "Flame" really moved me. I'm sitting here at my desk with tears in my eyes :')
Just to let you know that the musician in the back (Kelvin Wooten), recently won a grammy!
he's an entire orchestra
I can't give them enough thumbs up! Great performance!

I would love to see her at Afro Punk...

i love her dress! what a character....kinda reminds me of what i think i sound like in the shower just singing and making shit up and just having fun!
Stash Stash Indeed!
She is such a sweetie in person.
+Zam Zam Why am I not surprised that you have met?! Great duo!
she wore the heck outta that dress tho! (:(:
i was singing this during the day and everytime I sang the chorus i laughed so hard omg she made me really happy
Niiice. Flame is a really beautiful piece. And love the dress too.
+Egor Makarin It's so out in space, isn't it?
I can safely say this is my #1 favorite tiny desk concert
couldn't say why, never heard of the artist before, or after
just that moment in time where you get a glimpse of the universe perfection
pure magic
not obvious at first glace, then you keep coming back to it, there is something special in there, truly unique
This is one of the best tiny desks. I come back to it so much
i enjoyed this. shes really quirky in a good way.
MAN! I LOVE HER! Also I can totally picture her doing the magenta song with the Muppets...who's with me?
+Stef Nicholson (Second Line Parade) Absolutely! :D
its different. it got me confused cause I like her the way I like water. its refreshing cause its different from your average juice or soda. thumbs up
Ok so her producer is BEYOND AMAZING !!!..Putting in hard work *applause*
That bass line on Flame *inlove* I also want her dress.
That was a weird 14 minutes. Gonna get a bowl of cereal now for some reason.
Go head you One Man Band!!!! His facial expressions are EVERYTHING
I like her, so cool!!!! guitar player, the one man band is killing it!!!! She is so pretty and her music is awesome.
Quirky and unique. Deqn Sue I love your beautiful voice and point of view. You stand out from the crowd with your individuality. Keep being you because that is what will make you a star.
I didn't know what to expect and I want to click out but like I want to see what she does next she interest me
Love it but she reminds me of Susie from rugrats for some reason lol
Can't unsee it.
haloskater24 Susie done grew up lol
haloskater24 why did this make me laugh so hard!! Lol now that's all I see
haloskater24 deadass
Susie was the coolest Rugrat
So witty, cool, & original. Magenta is so good !
C'mon ... The dress is to die for ... As well as her & her voice ❤
I hope she never changes her style.
I love her free spirit and her pure smile. She's enjoying her life and expressing her creativity. Inspiring. :)
Pure pleasure to watch her - there's that joy in her sparkle-and-smile - it is totally genuine.
Refreshing and unique. Loved it
That guy is also really good, just listen to his arrangements! nice :)
I keep coming back to this video and keep being amazed about how good he is in all those instruments!
He is a monster, right?
funky Zen vibe with lots of magic light and dark with sound of vivacious vibrations that waves across my whole body.. . to Magenta, She Rocks..
The world needs more people like this.
It's so incredibly quirky and fun, I love this
Yay!! I've never heard anything quite like this! I
what a pleasant surprise. Great
she feels like a singer from Steven universe
Beautiful; May you continue to bloom like a flower. Love your music!
Back in 2019 for these beautiful compositions!🔥🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾
That dress is captivating
She is hilarious... ! Magenta caught me off guard... didn't expect it sound like that.
I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you.....i've played bloody monster on loop... and It will start off my days from now on
Very strange.....I love it. I love to see any artist not really care and give attention to anything mainstream or "in."
that smile is incredibly beautiful!!!
No words for how much I love this.
What an amazing soul and artist, truly love her music!!!!👌🔥🙌
this is what i call refreshing.. how treated i feel to watch them and all their talents combined..
I love this....watched it back to back, the entire video, at least 8 times already....LOVE IT !!!!! Right On Deqn Sue !!!!!
Wow she is awesome!!
Omg just looked her up on spotify! A new fan!!!! Awesome, quirky, melodic music!!! Thank you Tiny desk!!!!!
NPR does it again!!!!
she is sooooooooo fantastic !!
Darnnnn! Her personality! AWESOME as always NPR.
this is so sick. so original
so lovely and beautiful...."you give me hugs, when I cut a rug" ha! love it.
what the hell is that mic effect they used, I'm living for it
That my friend is the verb...the reverb...
I think there's a harmonizer in there too...
If there's a harmonizer as intelligent as this one, this civilization is more advanced than I thought.
Wow!Such a cool duo!Both totally amazing!
Wow love her style. Watched the first minute without sound due to being on a call but after seeing that she was really singing and was actually good. I'm amazed by the whole experience.
Both of them are fascinating!!! 😍😍😍
i want her dress!
Meeee toooo
Omg I love her!
I almost exited the video when I heard the first voice crack but I'm glad I didn't cause she does it on purpose and it's frickin awesome so I'm real happy now😂
Too beautiful for words.
I can't stop watching this.
ha crazy. interesting backstory for the song "Bloody Monster"
That was awesome loved all 3 songs!
I love this little concert! They're all excellent, but Bloody Monster is my favourite, she does such cool things with her voice.
Super nice! Thanks for posting, NPR Music.
Love her artistry... ❤
she is so precious
Just charming, and quirky, and charming. I love her! And the gentleman accompanying her us pretty dope. NPR never fails to bring it. Kudos!
Fantastic!
what a SMILE!
What is Incredible is the modest number of subscribers of her CZcams channel. I loved the performers and their performance, and would have loved to be able to add million views to her vids and a million of subscribers to her channel
i am already IN LOVE with her 30 seconds in, I want her dress but it looks way better on her. She's adorable
She's so unique, quirky, and fun.
Omg i wanna hug em too!!This was such a great show!!!
I absolutely love the song “Flame” for its mesmerizing sound and romantic lyrics. Just adorable :).
