Floetry: Tiny Desk Concert

This Tiny Desk Concert features the British R&B duo Floetry, consisting of Natalie Stewart (The Floacist) and Marsha Ambrosius (The Songstress). Known for their unique blend of spoken-word poetry and soulful R&B, the pair returned to the stage during their first tour in a decade to perform a setlist that highlights their journey from London to Philadelphia.

Setlist Highlights:

• "Big Ben" (0:24): The set opens with this track, serving as a nostalgic nod to their roots in the U.K.
• "SupaStar" (2:00): A rhythmic, soulful performance that highlights their creative chemistry.
• "Butterflies" (4:47): A standout moment in the set, this song (co-written by Ambrosius and famously recorded by Michael Jackson) is performed with a mesmerizing vocal delivery.
• "Say Yes" and "Getting Late" (7:42 - 13:09): The duo transitions into their more sensual, signature R&B hits, joking about the intensity of the songs for an early-day performance.
• "Floetic" (19:26): The concert concludes with their debut single, bringing the energy back to the sounds that initially launched their career.

Throughout the performance, there is a palpable sense of joy, playfulness, and a deep sisterhood between Natalie Stewart and Marsha Ambrosius, which resonated clearly with the audience at the Tiny Desk.
