After spending a couple of years listening to Audrey Nuna’s music and watching her music movies, I questioned how she would conform to the Tiny Desk. Her visuals embody larger-than-life personae, and the sonics of her debut album, A Liquid Breakfast, are something however acoustic. Every part that comes with the New Jersey-born singer-songwriter is huge. She stepped as much as the problem of stripping the weather in 2022 when she performed a particular Tiny Desk (residence) live performance, which was sufficient to carry her spot behind the Desk.
Audrey walked into NPR headquarters along with her band, “The Jaywalkers,” baring that very same persona that units her other than the remaining, rockin’ looking vests, kilts with cranium caps and a denim shirt manufactured from denim pants. The setlist completely encapsulates how a lot musical floor she’s in a position to cowl. She goes from a staccato movement on “Rattling Proper” to straight-up funk on “Time.” She flipped “Child Blues” right into a jazz quantity and performed “Child OG” from her new album, TRENCH, for the primary time. Her long-time producer, Anwar Sawyer, dealt with keyboards and music course, offering authenticity to this set. They’d put in weeks of rehearsal, and post-show, she instructed me that the execution was precisely what she envisioned.
