Her name is Abbey Smith. She is from West Memphis, Arkansas. Her mom was a science teacher and her dad was a preacher. She grew u in the church. She wrote this song specifically for this performance. This was the first time she had ever performed it in front of a live audience. This was also her "breakout" performance as an artist. There is no studio version of this song because she said that this performance was the epitome of how this song should have been performed and there will never be a better version. She chose her stage name "YEBBA" (yeh-buh) because it was the nickname her mother always called her. Her mom passed away a few weeks after this performance, which solidified her choice to keep her stage name. To say she's an amazing singer is not only an understatement but also distracts from the fact that she's a master storyteller. A genius in full control of her toolkit.

[tparmenter]

100% correct. This song, her voice will absolutely destroy you. It does what all good music should do. Make you feel.

[stitcher]

One voice, one soft quitar, how many big female singers out there could do this!!

It's SO much fun seeing people react to Yebba, specifically this song, for the first time. I'm a 58 year old classic rocker, but I've easily watched over 50 reactions to this song. She's got other amazing songs too. Check out, if you haven't already, Evergreen, and October Sky.

[johnshea]

This was the first and last time she ever performed this song, (no pressure then)!, that puts this performance into a different stratosphere!god bless her ❤

[csutton]

I just listened to Yebba last night, she popped up on my list, and I CRIED like a baby...Wow, I have not heard a song touch me like this. She is now added to my favorites list...

[BrienneoffrigginTarth]

Makes me cry every time. Pure heartbreak, pure emotion! I envy everyone who experienced this live!

[eveningglow]

When I first saw this on YT a few years ago I was blown away, Yebba is amazing.

[IainiaI]

You're the first person to mention something about thinking she was from your part of the world, when I first heard her about 4 years ago, I thought she was middle eastern at first, her name (although now I know it's just Abbey backwards) but also her almost yodelling in her runs is so different to the usual western way of singing. Never heard anyone else mention that😊
It's criminal that she isn't a household name, technically, I don't think there are many that can compare to her vocal agility and her ability to impart emotion while singing, so effortless.

[Citizenesse]

I am so glad that you said that when you asked if she was from your part of the world. From the moment I heard this song and I heard her lament, it sounded and was reminiscent of those wails that I've heard in different types of music from the Middle East, in Egypt and other places. I heard a whisper of Oum Khaltoum. I love this song in the way she sang it because it gives literal voice to the grief of a broken love and broken face. And the lament that she raises is perfectly appropriate for that.

[lutdesimpelaere]

Absolutely heart wrenching. I’ve listened to this song so many times and it still gets to me . She’s a very talented singer. Love your reactions, you don’t even have to say anything, your face speaks volumes. I totally agree with you what pop music is concerned, quality artists like Dimash, Diana Ankudinova etc. get no attention while the recycled pop songs get relentless play on the radio. There’s another artist that is amazing named “Faouzia”. She’s a Moroccan singer who lives in Canada. She has many fantastic songs, maybe start with “ tears of gold” Stripped version ( she’s best singing live). ✌

[joyspellmann]

This is what melodious lamenting sounds like. Very therapeutic for those of us that needed that particular purge of pain. God blessed her. I hope she has honored that gift to Him.

[marir]

She is so talented! Try next Yebba - Boomerang (live).

[leahvolz]

Thank you…I think Adele is amazing but Yebba is a whole different level.

[deirdrelegge]

Welcome to the magical world of Yebba (Abbey spelled backwards)! Please react to more of her - Cover of John Mayer's Gravity with Clark Beckham, her original songs Evergreen, October Sky and Boomerang (live version is a must) and her Tiny Desk concert. She has collaborated with Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Mark Ronson, Chance The Rapper, Drake, PJ Morton (They won a Grammy together) etc. All videos, songs and vocal talent are exceptional! It is a crying shame that she is not a household name...

[Robert_Herring]

Beautiful reaction. She is from my state of Arkansas, just outside of Memphis. The first thing you said after she finished is that she was preaching: she is a Baptist preacher's daughter, so well familiar with preaching.

[amandagoodtime]

React to yebba evergreen please it’s dedicated to her mom she did it right after this one because her mom committed suicide after her ex cheated on her and she wanted to let her mom know she’s her evergreen it was her first time back at the church she sings at since her mom passed she said because it’s were she felt closest to her mom

[dariusztlokinski]

From time to time, I watch this reaction to the song, and I am amazed every time... from such proper attentiveness and interest, with a slight smile on the face, to pouring out one's heart - it's something beautiful. I love it. But that's exactly how this song and this performance work!

[maddalenacherchi]

Thank you, I love Yebba, She is incredible artist and incredible woman. Love from Italy!🤗

[WhisperingPeace]

Truly truly wonderful reaction video to this utterly powerful and soulful song. I am a happy new subscriber of yours. 👍
