audio review : Touch And Go ( song ) … Tinashe ( featuring 6lack )

6lack comes in too early. I would’ve put his verse after the second chorus, which means Tinashe would have to sing another verse before that second bridge. That’s assuming I could get her to do anything.

“I’m too emotional,” she acknowledges sadly. Her and her beau are at what sounds like the brink of a break-up. Her vocals are strong though; the hook is enhanced by melodic hums; and the beat is Killah.

audio review : Songs For You ( album ) ... Tinashe

audio review : Remember When ( song ) … Tinashe

As cliché as the concept is, there’s always room for another good “love” song. This one has Tinashe falling recklessly for a guy she confessed her feelings to at a park a while back.

“I hope you know I meant every word I said,” she says over an acoustic guitar you might not initially realize is just a loop. Her voice is warm and sweet. Her melodies touch the heart.

audio review : Songs For You ( album ) ... Tinashe

Tinashe considers Janet Jackson one of her major influences; you can hear it in her music; so I guess the title of this album is in homage to All For You. Unlike that album, this one begins and ends with romantic dedications, so the You is apparently a boyfriend.

She croons for him on Remember When. Feelings is from the canceled Nashe project from last year, along with Link Up and Cash Race. She should’ve released that set, which focused on her ratchet side, before this one. Its cuts seem somewhat out of place here.

The chorus on Life’s Too Short irks, but Touch And Go sounds good, despite an early 6lack verse. The album needs more grooves like that. Nightride remains Tinashe’s best. That album is about on par with All For You. Songs For You is about on par with Joyride.
