While we wait for these mic-drop performances, let’s run through the songs each artist better perform during their Tiny Desk set.

1. NPR's Tiny Desk Announcement

2. Chaka Khan: I'm Every Woman

Now this one was hard because Chaka has so many songs we want to hear but we gotta hear “I’m Every Woman”

3. SWV "Rain"

SWV is gonna come with the hits but we gotta hear them perform “Rain”

4. Kierra Sheard "It Keeps Happening"

“It Keeps Happening” is so inspiring by Kierra Sheard this song would needs to be on her Tiny Desk playlist.

5. Flo Milli "Never Lose Me"

Flo Milli’s “Never Lose Me” has a smooth, raw, and edgy sound that would be perfect for her performance.

6. Meshell Ndegeocello 'Outside Your Door'

‘Outside Your Door’ is a classic from Meshell Ndegeocello 

7. Tierra Whack "Stand Up"

“Stand Up” by Tierra Whack has a groove to it, that would sound so good live on Tiny Desk.

8. Brittney Spencer "Bigger Than The Song"

Brittney’s voice is so powerful on “Bigger Than The Song” where she gives a nod to some of her idols in the music industry so what better setting than Tiny Desk to perform this song live.

9. Lakecia Benjamin "Trane"

Lakecia is an amazing musician and “Trane” would be a riveting performance to her Tiny Desk set.

10. Tems "Free Mind"

Do we even have to explain why… this song is just iconic
