In a matter of weeks, Tinashe will be reaching yet another milestone. She?ll release her highly anticipated sophomore effort, Joyride. But first, there?s an elephant in the room?or restaurant, rather, as we?ve relocated to drown our sorrows in sangria after failing Escape the Room: the fact that she has been promoting the album for about a year (and even wrapped the North American leg of the Joyride tour before canceling her European dates to put finishing touches on the record), but as of this writing her label was still hammering out the release date and could only confirm that it will come out in October.
Tinashe exclaims mid-sip when I ask if she is ever tempted to leak the tracks. ?But how is that going to help me? It?s just going to come out and then it?s gone, and then I don?t have the support. No one?s going to be booking me for TV performances, [the label is] certainly not going to help me with my next one,? she says with a chuckle, possibly trying to downplay her exasperation over the delay.
She understands that too, especially since she didn?t want ?Player??her song with Brown and the first promotional single for Joyride (although it?s absent from the final tracklist)?to be available only in the version with his feature on it.
?Superlove,? the standout bop with an accompanying Baywatch-inspired music video that?s just as sunny, alludes to Uncle Luke and banana splits in its playfully naughty consideration of turning a potential lover into a baby daddy?a completely different sentiment than ?Company,? which adamantly maintains a desire for no-strings-attached relations, or the tender vulnerability of ?Stay the Night,? which puts Tinashe?s vocal range in the spotlight as she pleads for one last quiet moment before bidding goodbye.
Even with all of the relationship talk on the album, there?s an element of independence present throughout?like how ?No Contest? blames the protagonist?s unresponsiveness to a suitor on different time zones, a consequence of a jet-setting life, something Tinashe is quite familiar with.

forgot chis read this guh
she's really done.
Aquarius is still iconic though
I don't know why she shades "Player". It shits on most of her music she's recorded.
RCA trying to end her career early
smh
I mean we know it won't sell anything, just let her flop
she should just go indie since she been promoting her own shit out her pockets smh
RCA is really a shit label
I wish she'd just pump and do her own thing.
She should've signed with the other labels that approached her first.

what other labels approached her?
All the major labels approached her. She chose RCA because they were willing to give her the most creative control (let her write, produce, keep her mixtape sound). She did a Youtube video about it awhile back when they first signed her a few years ago.
It's sad
She's clearly talented and has a sound, but the label keep tryin to dilute that and sabotage her with these bland ass singles
This article doesn't say anything about the label not promoting. It just says if she leaks her music, the label likely won't support the next 1.
i remember that...but seems like it's a different story now she's signed to them!

Not really
Other than throwing Chris on Player they've been letting her do what she wants.
IDK why people think she's being forced to record anything that doesn't sound like "mixtape" Tinashe. I mean this si the same gur who recorded Chainless.
I think her situation would be better if all those other labels hadn't closed down and forced their artists move to RCA.
Maybe yawl should just let her flop in peace
I think that would be best for everyone tbh

Say what you want about her, but Tinashe is booking these magazine covers with no hit singles.
Two Eleven would be Gold if it was released under the right label
Code Red coulda been Gold if it had the right push
RCA has the worst Urban department

Not magazine covers.
RCA should just close their office doors for good.
Hopefully Tinashe finds a better label next year or so. RCA wont help her
