Afford You
Alternative R&B artist Amaria has a modern sound that builds on the mellow yet engrossing aspects of neo-soul, as mastered by the likes of Erykah Badu and Sade. The Tampa native made her debut on New Year's Day 2020 with the self-produced "Morning," a confident first step from the then-teenaged singer. A steady flow of singles and collaborations, along with 2021 EP Bittersweet, and 2022 EP All For You have followed since then.
Fresh off the release of its latest album Submarine, The Marías have never felt more ready-made for the Tiny Desk. With the first few chimes of the synth and notes from Maria Zardoya’s breathy vocals, the band makes it clear that there’s no better place to bring its bedroom pop style than this slightly bigger space.
The indie band has been skyrocketing over the last few years with classic Spanglish hits like “Cariño” (featured here at the Desk) and a collab on Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti. But there’s so much more to the group than the smooth electronic beats and guitar riffs that meet the ear.
Headed by Puerto Rican lead singer Maria Zardoya, who proudly places a Puerto Rican flag on the Desk halfway through the show, there is an authenticity to the group’s lyricism and presentation that pulses just beneath the emotive keys. The band’s performance feels like a soundtrack for a generation that exists in many worlds, and in The Marías Tiny Desk viewers find a new, ethereal, welcoming world to belong to. — Anamaria Sayre | October 9, 2024
