R&B powerhouse CoCo Jones set a new bar for virtual concerts with her mesmerizing TERRELL Show Concert, proving that stripped-down, intimate performances can be just as electrifying as major stage productions. This YouTube-exclusive event felt like an evolution of NPR's Tiny Desk format, blending raw vocal excellence, emotional depth, and pure charisma in a way that only CoCo can deliver.

A Performance to Remember

Hosted by Terrell Grice, the show created an intimate yet grand experience that showcased CoCo’s soulful, effortless range—something that has drawn comparisons to past Tiny Desk standouts like Jazmine Sullivan and H.E.R.. But what makes TERRELL Show Concert stand out is its fresh energy, modern aesthetic, and deep connection to R&B culture.

CoCo delivered flawless renditions of her hit songs, including: ICU– The Grammy-nominated smash that had fans in their feelings Taste – A sultry, hypnotic performance showcasing her control Just My Luck – A deeply personal, storytelling moment Worth It/Fallin– Seamlessly blending emotion with vocal power Simple and Here We Go (Uh Oh) – A nostalgic mix that had the audience vibing

Why It Rivals Tiny Desk

For years, NPR's Tiny Desk has been the gold standard for stripped-down, authentic performances, but TERRELL Show Concert is proving to be a serious competitor. What sets it apart? A strong focus on R&B artistry – The show creates a space dedicated to Black music excellence. A unique mix of fun and vulnerability – While NPR brings a journalistic, coffeehouse feel, TERRELL taps into the soul, humor, and personality of artists. A more immersive setting – With stunning visuals, curated lighting, and a welcoming atmosphere, it feels like a modern Tiny Desk 2.0.

CoCo Jones has already solidified herself as an R&B force, and with this TERRELL Show performance, she’s proving that her live vocals are just as powerful as her studio recordings. If Tiny Desk made us fall in love with raw, unfiltered talent, then TERRELL Show is making us feel every note, every run, and every ounce of passion in a whole new way.

If this is the future of R&B live sessions, we’re here for it.
