Wizkid strips down "Essence" to its silky core at NPR's intimate desk setup, trading the original's Afrobeats production for subtle live instrumentation. The studio's warm acoustics let every vocal run breathe, while the buzzing energy from the small crowd adds just the right amount of intimacy to this global hit.
