In contrast to most contemporary RnB, Tinashe succeeds at crafting an album that feels of a piece in terms of tone and theme. Like a lot of contemporary albums it suffers slightly from too many songs, but as a whole AQUARIUS stands out from other debuts as more focused, mature and sophisticated.
Tinashe does everything on her own terms. The stunning 21-year-old singer, songwriter, and performer arrives with a distinct and dynamic vision of R&B punctuated by hip-hop attitude, pop flavor, rock swagger, and electronica spark. It all comes to life vividly on “Aquarius”, her full-length debut.
The album, which Tinashe wrote and recorded between New York, London, and Los Angeles, finds the budding star at the forefront of modern R&B. Tinashe shaped the album over the course of 2013 and 2014 with the likes of DJ Mustard, Redwine & DJ Marley Waters (all three producing on the ubiquitous ‘2 On’ featuring ScHoolboy Q), Boi-1da, Jasper, Future, Stargate and Dev Hynes.
The album’s first single ‘2 On’ featuring ScHoolboy Q – which The FADER calls Tinashe’s “star-making moment” and The New York Post recently dubbed one of 2014’s songs of the summer – has continued its climb up the charts and airwaves, reaching the summit on the Rhythmic Airplay chart, where it has remained at #1 for four weeks and also reached #3 on Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs Chart. Recently, GRAMMY award-winning rapper Drake remixed the song. The eye-catching video, highlights Tinashe’s magnetic and charismatic skills as a performer and dancer, has amassed over 23 million views to date.
Tinashe has received unanimous acclaim across the board from the likes of The FADER, Billboard, V Magazine, Teen Vogue, Paper Magazine, Marie Claire, Nylon, Rolling Stone, New York Magazine, Noisey, Dazed and Confused, VIBE, Acclaim and beyond.
