Justin Bieber: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

More from Justin Bieber:

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.

Stephen Thompson | March 17, 2021
If you were to apply one of those "how it started / how it's going" memes to Tiny Desk (home) concerts — which began, it turns out, almost exactly one year ago — you'd have, under "how it's going," the image of pop superstar Justin Bieber as he and his band perform the world premiere of a new song called "Peaches."

"Peaches" will exist in a significantly different form when Bieber drops his new album Justice on Friday — the track will feature guest vocals from GIVEŌN and Daniel Caesar — just as "Holy," another song from Justice, opens this set without the presence of guest Chance the Rapper. But Bieber's Tiny Desk set, performed with the aid of We the Band, provides the fullest taste yet (fully 25 percent!) of the singer's sixth album, whose singles have already been streamed hundreds of millions of times.

Bieber has had a massive month as he prepares for Justice to drop: March 2021 began with the singer's 27th birthday and recently produced his second career Grammy, as he took the prize for best country duo or group performance for "10,000 Hours" with Dan + Shay. It continues with this, his Tiny Desk debut. Friday, the next chapter officially begins.

Even if you’ve hated this dude at one point, if there’s not at least 5% of you that don’t admire his resilience, you gots no heart.

[jond]

Peaches was super wavy.. He needs to go in that direction!

[williamrolin]

i woulda paid a lot of money to see this concert in a small dive bar...this is just pure talent..the vocals...the band...all of it..just beautiful

[gazoakleychef]

you cannot deny his raw talent, go on JB. incredible band too

[barbaroggg]

Slowed-down 'Peaches' is one of the best Internet performance of all times imao.

[sunsetdj]

JB is a passionate vocalist. This Tiny desk performance in particular is filled with his passion, energy and pure talent. It's just magical.

[cookie]

Can we get a thumbs up for the band? Their music abilities are crazy diverse.

[mushipoo]

I didn't realize how passionate he was. I hate how so many people hated him for no reason without even giving him a chance. I wasn't a hater, but i never cared to check out his music. I'm blown away because i didn't know he was so talented.

[jenna_rosenthal]

"Anyone" is SOOOO good here, omg. I'm so happy Justin came back around, I know he was in such a dark place for a while. I remember seeing him in concert and you could tell he wasn't into it at all. He was barely performing honestly. Now look at him! He is so into it, you can feel the passion and he's singing his heart out. It's great to see him happy and loving what he does again.

[gabebondoc]

between JB’s evolution and THE BAND man. this is so fire

[direshasirisena]

The band is crazy good😍 and so is he!!

[Gemminttrading]

For a superstar, he's always been very humble. Respect

[vitorbezerra]

Peaches is something from another world. man, such a good song

[ndisney]

Justin’s skills are no joke. He sounds exactly like recording 🙌🏻

[Mikeaminah]

Every live I’ve heard from him literally sounds like a recording. He doesn’t get enough credit for his talent and resilience. Check out his live Paris performance you won’t regret it. ❤

[Stuckinyear]

I don't care what you say, but I have loved Justin since 2014.

[ryanswaze]

These always hit more then the real song 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[CD-psyk]

This boy has been living in my head rent free for 10+ years now

[benniejoel]

Yet again Justin Beiber proves why he has been so successful. He's seriously talented, makes it seem effortless.
