Los Angeles' vocalist Tinashe Kachingwe (of Zimbabwean origins), who as a teenager had already put out the mixtapes In Case We Die (2012), that contains Boss, Reverie (2012) and Black Water (2013),
became a star at the age of 21 thanks to the velvety single 2 On (2014),
produced by YG's dj Dijon McFarlane (aka DJ Mustard)
and featuring a rap by
Schoolboy Q.
She recorded Aquarius (2014) with an impressive cast of producers
(Clams Casino, Ryan Hemsworth, Stuart Matthewman, T-Minus, Mike Will Made It, Boi-1da, Fisticuffs, Best Kept Secret, Ritz Reynolds...) but failed to dispel
the notion that she was merely a Janet Jackson impersonator.
real highlight sleepy and almost trancey Bated Breath 5:48
Far Side of the Moon the most intriguing beat
1 Aquarius 3:55
the "aquatic" sound becomes dreamy and almost psychedelic in Bet and Cold Sweat
a peak of atmosphere in Pretend
feat. A$AP Rocky
more or less catchy All Hands on Deck
Indigo Child (Interlude) 1:29
The Calm (Interlude) 0:29
melisma Feels Like Vegas 4:01
Thug Cry 3:27
Deep in the Night (Interlude) 0:57
Wildfire 3:37
The Storm (Outro) 1:24
Nightride (2016) found a classic balance between
the polished production and her mellow phrasing in ethereal ballads like
Spacetime and Touch Pass.
Joyride (2018) was a vastly inferior project.
The event of the year was the single Throw A Fit (2018), composed by Gucci Mane, Jamal "Polow da Don" Jones , Christian "Hitmaka" Ward, Samuel "Smash David" Jiminez and others.
Songs for You (2019) was largely uneventful, best when it explored
the two extremes, either the
oneiric Stormy Weather and Link Up or the
slightly more upbeat Save Room for Us and especially Die a Little Bit.
333 (2021) is a bland album of conventional dance-pop muzak
(Bouncin, Let Me Down Slowly) with
sultry ballads (Angels, I Can See The Future) targeting
relaxation and nostalgia.
Slightly more creative moments are found in
Naturally and
X.
