Tinashe - Aquarius (out October 7 2014)

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.

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.

it's one of my favourite songs this year!

the 'album' is out next week, though it's only 7 tracks and apparently a second half is coming next year?

Yes to "Talk to me Nice." co-produced by Nosaj Thing and Scoop DeVille, who each have done a song for Kendrick Lamar and worked with a bunch of other folks in Los Angeles

yeah it's incredible, my favorite thing she's done. transition so massive it feels like two great songs in one.

I take it this means you were all as unimpressed with "Needs" as I was?

Oh Nosaj Thing produces? No wonder I got a BOC vibe for a moment there.

Tinashe getting briefly interviewed for a minute or so on ABC show Good Morning America and then doing song "Tightrope"

I find her extremely likeable and from what I’ve heard so far this has potential to be my favorite thing she has released. A Janet Jackson collab would make so much sense btw.

Yeah I've liked everything I've heard from this a lot; the only thing possibly dampening my enthusiasm is the Body Talk / Petals For Armor / Last Year Was Weird-style rollout

i almost forgot this was out today. looking at the credits and vladislav delay produced one track?!

i want a 20 minute version of "treason"
