Tinashe - Aquarius (out October 7 2014)

"know better"!!!

This album!

i'm really delighted that this is as good as it is

fantastic album

this is outstanding

Better than Aquarius to my ears, as much as i love 2 On and Cold Sweat, like just two hugely defining songs from the decade at least for me.

revisited Nightride, which never made much of an impression on me, and found that about half of it is excellent and the other half is fairly forgettable. it's a bit too slow and samey in mood so the weaker tracks really work to make it all blend together and i can understand why i never got really into it. there's still plenty to like about it even if it isn't as consistent as Aquarius or Songs for You

"know Better" really is something. she's been through so much shit. this whole album feels freeing. so happy it's great. played through it once so far. can't wait to spend more time with it.

some incredible harmonies and ad-libs on this, what a victory

tempted to agree this is even better than Aquarius

it is

Certainly after 2 spins it is

q: does the first track on this sample "dig" by incubus

well brad if you can't tell me that i don't really know who else i'd ask

This is good.

Apparently that is indeed an incubus sample, or at least I've seen it claimed

I'm addicted to this. amazing.

feels like such a triumph for Tinashe to release this on her own terms and have it go off -- she's one of our very best

also, not to start beef, but if anyone should be calling their musical output MUSIC FOR CARS, it's Tinashe ✌️

i don't feel so warmly toward it as yall but at least i feel alright toward it so far, unlike with joyride (ugh). i guess i feel like her songs have too much tendency to blankness, and something about aquarius balanced that the right way. i would have been delighted to hear more of an amethyst sound, but i guess that's not as compatible with her danciness.

loving this, especially "Life's too Short"!

Really enjoying this. Not sure I'm at >Aquarius level yet, but since I never loved her mixtapes this is way way above expectations. I would like to know why she included another genuinely repulsive male rapper feature on this though

need to listen to this more but it's pretty good on first blush

gorgeous record this

i think i’ve decided it’s my favourite album of the year

“perfect crime”!!!!!!

What I like I really like but, damn, is it long.

Hopscotch!

bop. boppp.

i think i’ve decided it’s my favourite album of the year

― monotony

I'm on the same boat. and 'perfect crime' is also, probably, my favourite!

yeah this album is great

Really wasn't expecting to enjoy a Tinashe album this much after Joyride, but this is so great. It really could be her best album.

every track on songs for you is brilliant

Not sure I'm at >Aquarius level yet

yes! I am at >>Aquarius level now

people might like the ZHU remix of “Die A Little Bit” with Ms Banks:

Ooh nice. I really miss her little brother's dance instruction though

i know, right?

do you want..more?

new single. she's sort of rehashing the melody of "Die A Little Bit" here:

"Rascal (Superstar)": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gu07qmagjSg

oh dear

lmfao this entire EP is so ridiculous and I love it, I wish she had an original song on here but tbh the entire thing feels like an afterthought, down to the inconsistent track title capitalization in Spotify. I immediately thought of this Jimmy Fallon bit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0eRSQ9N8-A

yeah it's a totally ridiculous endeavour but i'm glad it exists

the "last christmas" cover is really good of course too

that 'god rest ye' is so weird. the only circumstances I can think of where playing that track would be desirable and appropriate is as the credits roll in the netflix holiday romance "Sugar & Spicy"

ha this ep is great. always looking for holiday songs done totally differently

new shift k3y & tinashe
