Why am I crying watching this Tiny Desk? It was so good. Much watch and listen to Spanish Leather again.
Álvaro Lafuente's calming voice and steady rhythms feel like a lullaby with a fiesta tilt. At the Desk, the Spanish singer transports us to a club in Barcelona or a beach on Costa Brava. n.pr/4a4uPxK

A much watch and listen. Destin Conrad is a talent.
The R&B singer transforms the Tiny Desk into his own version of a jazz club, reimaging songs in ways we've never heard before. n.pr/4aR4TXn

I can’t stop thinking about the scene in Heated Rivalry, where Rose was getting her makeup down for a role where she’s painted blue. There was a red wig in the scene so clearly they are fan casting her as Mystique.
