Ravyn Lenae has given a performance for NPR’s “Tiny Desk Concert” series. Lenae sang Hypnos tracks “Venom,” “Skin Tight,” “Inside Out,” and “Sticky” during the set. She was joined by bassist Marcus Reddick, drummer Danielle “Dee” Thompson, keyboardist Harrison “Achee” Hawkins, guitarist Garrett Jones, and vocalists Aja Grant and Phylicia Hill. Check it out below.
Ravyn Lenae recently released her debut album Hypnos, which followed her Midnight Moonlight EP and Crush EP, issued in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Her edition of “Tiny Desk” marks one of the first performances to be held at the physical tiny desk since June 2020 (outside of NPR’s annual “Tiny Desk” contest winners: Neffy in 2021 and Alisa Amador in 2022).
Lenae’s “Tiny Desk” set is also part of NPR’s celebration of Juneteenth and Black Music Month. Other performers taking part in the series are FKA twigs, Denzel Curry, Monica, Adekunle Gold, and others. The celebration features 11 “Tiny Desk” and “Tiny Desk (Home)” concerts, curated by NPR Music’s “Tiny Desk” producer Bobby Carter.
Before dropping Hypnos last month, Lenae shared a music video for the Kaytranada-produced track “Xtasy.”
