South X Lullaby: Nilüfer Yanya

For our final lullaby recording during South by Southwest 2018, we meet the London-based singer Nilüfer Yanya for her performance in the memory-filled world of Uncommon Objects. It's a shop in Austin, Texas dedicated to sentimental curiosities of a world gone by. With that in mind, the relatively new musician with a bright future tackles a tune about something old and familiar: fond memories overwhelmed by the pain of love gone wrong.

Sudan Archives' Disparate Sound, Inspired By Jellyfish, Pulls From Everywhere

Sudan Archives, otherwise known as Brittney Parks, was the favorite new discovery at SXSW this year for just about everyone at NPR Music. Now the singer, violinist and electronic musician has a new song, "Nont For Sale," a title inspired by a sign she saw on a Ghana hillside that read: "THIS LAND IS NONT FOR SALE." It comes to us from her new EP, Sink, due at the end of May.

Dan Auerbach: Tiny Desk Concert

The last time Dan Auerbach came to the Tiny Desk he brought a mariachi band (we supplied confetti cannons). That was our 500th performance at the Tiny Desk, with Dan playing alongside his band The Arcs. This time out, we have a different kind of celebration - and an explosion of talent - as Dan brings his Easy Eye Sound Revue to the Tiny Desk. It's an abundance of gifted musicians who have all played with a long, long list of legends, including Elvis, Don Williams and John Prine.

Fizza-Ma-Wizza-Ma-Dill: The Elegance Of Trap And Dr. Seuss

Less than a week ago, rapper Win Nevaluze uploaded a dramatic reading of the Dr. Seuss deep cut Wocket In My Pocket, to the time of Migos' current single "Walk It Like I Talk It." The video, complete with handheld camera zooms and supporting ad-libs, quickly got caught up in the internet riptide and currently sits just shy of a million views. Pop culture and music critic Stephen Thompson ponders the connection between Migos' signature flow and hallowed children's' literature.
