If a single picture is worth 1,000 words, does that mean a single word is worth 1,000 pictures? Or at least a late-night TV appearance? Because one-word titles and handles were a running theme in the musical segments of Thursday night’s talk shows. First up: Compton rapper Buddy made his TV debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, sharing a little wishful thinking on his song Trouble on Central, with the help of some West Coast G-rap flow from The Roots. Then Lenny Kravitz picked up the one-word torch, getting down with his slinky funk single Low on The Late Late Show with James Corden. If you flipped over to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, you would have watched opera legend Andrea Bocelli and his son Matteo join forces to perform Fall on Me, a cut from their album Si. And over on Last Call With Carson Daly, New York indie-popsters Lawrence closed up shop with their tunes Make a Move and The Heartburn Song, taped live at L.A.’s El Rey. In a word: Singular.
