Tinashe - Aquarius (out October 7 2014)

2 on is classic ofc

bated breath is the best one on there

you guys are crazy

?

what needs clarification? lol. aquarius is the better album

good morning!

yea, i disagree. aquarius is super uneven at best. i liked like two songs and 'all hands on deck' is like...half good half dead eyed

dare i say that i think aquarius is her third best...

songs for you is better too

went back and listened to this today to see if it was as good as i remember thinking at the time and i ended up thinking now that it held up even better than i expected it would. i guess because i like the rest of the world have been so cold on all the music she's put out since this, i was doubting whether this album was actually worth remembering or just seemed like it at the time. but there's just tons of great songs... there's a stretch in the middle that feels a little dated to me (how many times, pretend & all hands on deck... so many chintzy synths) but otherwise great songwriting and production throughout. aquarius, bet, cold sweat, 2 on, far side of the moon, feels like vegas, thug cry, bated breath, wildfire... all these ones sound as good to me now as ever.

i still agree w/ this

couldn't choose between songs for you and 333 but both are even better than aquarius

i might just give the edge to songs for you for not falling off in the last few tracks like 333 though idk

the idea that there are two tinashe albums better than aquarius.... am i living in the truman show

i never liked her music (outside of 2 on) until recently so

i'm going to put "feels like vegas" on to cleanse myself of this conversation. god save roscoe dash

i will say that the new cover of aquarius that she randomly put on streaming services is a travesty, if that is clouding the collective vision of this thread i understand

i don't think aquarius being only her third best is a particularly out there opinion, when songs for you came out there was a lot of "wow is this even better than aquarius?" discussion and then again with 333 vs songs for you

i think we can agree she's really something

I'm sure it's been said but this feels like two albums. I prefer the Dawn-esque sleek, modern R&B on Side A (especially "I Can See the Future," "X" and "Bouncin") to the dancier/poppier Side B, though "Undo" and "Small Reminders" stood out after the mid point.

I basically need to revisit her entire discography song by song to know for sure, but in the moment, 333 is her best album. The last time I had this immediate reaction was... In Case We Die. I never stopped listening, but found her albums uneven.

I've come to the grand conclusion that those four albums are about equal and consistent (In Case We Die, Aquarius, Songs for you, 333). More importantly, I'm finding loads of songs I had overlooked. Die a little bit, Life's too short, Bet, Touch & Go, So Much Better.

Has anyone seen her on this tour? It feels like watching a stadium show crammed into a tiny 1000-capacity standing room venue, it's really incredible. She's an insanely talented performer.

New single at midnight called Naturally

She's just feeding her sheep and having a bath, wool is natural ok, and err... the body has "known" her ? Tinashe is pretty sharp

reading the pitchfork piece and I'd somehow missed this bumping new one:

& it's lead single from a new album planned to release this year

oh nice

i found it on 333 deluxe btw, not released until august 6 but i was able to purchase it anyway (?)

oh shit channel tres is having a good year looks like

oh i forgot it was on the deluxe hmm

wonder what the p4k article was on about then, i guess "precursor" could just mean it's a hint at what the new album will have to offer but won't be on it

lol, august 6 last year lord i'm tired

I didn't know she was planning a new album and I missed that she was playing at the Montreux Jazz festival this year, I really need to keep up, yet I still feel spoiled.

first mention of the new album was in the p4k profile from the other day

reading the pitchfork piece and I'd somehow missed this bumping new one:

📹

333 is a masterpiece and made even better by the deluxe song additions

she's killing it at Lollapalooza right now.

stuck on 'let me down slowly' atm

love the pre chorus

Great tune. The way it briefly almost turns into house at the end reminds me a bit of Mya’s “Free”.

oh good call.

There's no Shygirl thread so I'll put this here — turns a winning album track into a nice single.

"talk to me nice" is fantastic despite not exactly being a conventional choice of lead single

Not much of a song but great beat

ooh I love this

Just heard this one. Do people not like this? I think it’s one of the best r&b songs I’ve heard this year. The beat and transition is insane. Synth in transition sort of reminded me of boards of canada? Need to listen to it more but loved it on first listen.
