  On April 22, 2018, during a live performance at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Thom Yorke delivered an acoustic rendition of "True Love Waits." This performance is particularly notable as it marked Yorke’s first acoustic rendition of the song since 2010. By this time, Yorke had recently released *Anima*, his third solo studio album, in June 2019, which showcased a more electronic sound compared to his earlier work. This live performance fits into Yorke's evolution as an artist who often explores themes of love and existential angst, and "True Love Waits," originally developed during Radiohead's *OK Computer* sessions, reflects this introspection. In addition to his solo projects, Yorke remains an integral part of Radiohead, with the band consistently pushing the boundaries of alternative rock. This performance thus serves as a pivotal bridge between his ongoing solo work and the band's collaborative legacy.

  In October 2018, Thom Yorke performed "Unmade" live at Maida Vale studios for BBC Radio 6 Music. At this point in his career, he had recently released his solo album "Suspiria" (2018), which serves as the soundtrack for Luca Guadagnino's horror film of the same name. This live performance highlighted Yorke's experimental and atmospheric approach to music, reflecting the darker themes of the film. Notably, "Unmade" showcases his ability to blend haunting melodies with electronic soundscapes, a hallmark of his solo work. The performance took place during a promotional phase for this project, establishing Yorke not only as the frontman of Radiohead but also as a distinctive solo artist with a keen interest in film scoring. This continued to cement his reputation for innovation in the music industry while exploring different mediums.
