Of course, these things rarely happen overnight - Tinashe honed her sound over the course of several mixtapes, notably Black Water, released just a few months before her first hit.10:45 - Cartoons and Cereal (feat. Mixtapes can serve as places where artists can experiment without major-label pressure, exploring many directions simultaneously. Not for Tinashe: Black Water was less than 35 minutes long, cohesive and concise. Her major-label debut, Aquarius, both refined and narrowed her aesthetic - dispensing with, for example, the ’90s hip-hop soul feel of Black Water‘s “Just a Taste.” But Aquarius also stretched and pulled the singer’s sound almost to a breaking point, as the album sprawled over 18 tracks and 55 minutes.

Tinashe, ‘Aquarius’: Track-by-Track Review This made sense considering her favored mode - treacly, slow-burning - but it also diluted her impact. Download and Listen to new Kendrick Lamar Online for free. The singer’s new mixtape, Amethyst, is a step in the opposite direction: At just seven songs, it’s a highly concentrated dosage of Tinashe’s semi-molten style, further proof that “2 On” was a smart bait-and-switch, a fleet dance track from a singer who preferred deliberate motion. ( Sam Smith effectively used the same ploy, breaking in the States with “Latch” and then releasing ballad after ballad.) Only “Worth It” pushes the tempo - that song is produced by the Bay Area’s Iamsu!, who effectively works from the same playbook as “2 On” producer DJ Mustard. Tinashe is fluent in several decades of R&B and has an easy way of translating that past language into the present. “Looking 4 It” borrows the hook from Jaheim‘s 2001 classic “ Looking for Love” and merges it with Tinashe’s unhurried saunter.
In a rare moment of levity, she sings dismissively about a suitor - “you think you’re 2Pac, acting like a poet” - and then responds to herself in an amusingly high-pitched voice, like Prince‘s alter-ego Camille or a member of Alvin & the Chipmunks: “You ain’t 2Pac, bitch!” On “Just the Way I Like You,” Tinashe works in steamy Janet Jackson mode. But this isn’t a plush, sensual number - the instrumentation behind her has a different agenda, as a synth vibrates with sustained, buzz-saw intensity.Last week, we highlighted J. Cole as he’s one of two favorite artists of this generation.
