NPR’s “Tiny Desk Concert” is a video series that showcases live performances by various artists in an intimate setting. Held at the desk of All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen, the concerts feature stripped-down arrangements and have gained a reputation for their raw and authentic feel. The series has hosted a diverse range of artists, including established musicians and rising stars from different genres. The performances often offer a different perspective on the artists’ work, allowing viewers to discover new sounds and experience music in a more intimate and personal way..
The Tiny Desk has hosted plenty of major pop, rock and hip-hop stars in its 15-plus years, but you’d be hard-pressed to find one more agreeable or self-effacing than Austin Richard Post. Whether lamenting the state of his singing voice, joking about his nerves or sitting slack-jawed in awe of the fantastic band his people had assembled for this show, Post had the bearing of a lottery winner who wouldn’t even give himself credit for buying a ticket.
Before, during and after the show, Post Malone was a joy to have around. But he also just happened to bring a few of the biggest pop hits of the 21st century: Set-opener “Sunflower,” for example, has been certified eighteen-times platinum by the RIAA since its release in 2018 — that’s an all-time record — while the 2017 single “I Fall Apart” and 2019’s “Circles” lag behind at a mere ten-times platinum apiece. “Enough Is Enough,” which closes this set, enjoys no such designation, but give it time: A track from Post Malone’s new album Austin, it’s only been out for a few weeks.
So enjoy this set for what it is: one of the world’s biggest stars, performing a few of the world’s biggest songs, each set to a luminous arrangement. Post Malone himself seems surprised by how great this Tiny Desk concert sounds, and that’s not just the humility talking.
