Merry Clayton performs a Tiny Desk (home) concert.
The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music’s Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It’s the same spirit stripped-down sets, an intimate setting just a different space.
Merry Clayton’s Tiny Desk concert begins with the essentials. After a brief piano intro, she begins to sing “Beautiful Scars” the title track of her new album in a powerful and knowing voice. That simple pairing commands attention: “I’ve been on the battlefield of life. / I’ve been through it. / But I just had to go through that to get to this.” She sings in dialogue with five superb singers, all with serious gospel chops including members of The Waters and Take 6 and a band of seasoned pros. “Stand up and be proud of your scars,” she sings. The vibe is relaxed, but purposeful.
