“On Joyride, Tinashe is out for blood…” – Rolling Stone
“Tinashe can’t stop, won’t stop [on Joyride]… an album that could take her from bedroom R&B to global
pop.” - Billboard
New York, NY — October 1, 2015 — Today, RCA Records recording artist TINASHE premieres
her brand-new single “Player” featuring Chris Brown. CLICK HERE to stream the song now.
The single will be available for purchase at all digital retailers starting tomorrow, October 2nd.
Produced by LULOU and Alex Purple, “Player” is the first official single taken from Tinashe’s
highly anticipated sophomore studio album, Joyride. Written and recorded over the past year,
Joyride will be the follow up to 2014’s critically lauded debut studio album, Aquarius.
Recently, after revealing a self-directed trailer for the album (CLICK HERE to watch), Tinashe
gave fans an early taste of the album by sharing the sweaty, bone rattling, “Party Favors”
featuring Young Thug. The song, which was produced by Boi-1da, Illangelo, Vinylz, and Allen
Ritter, is now available at all digital retailers. CLICK HERE to stream the song and CLICK
HERE to purchase it on iTunes.
Upon releasing Aquarius after a slew of buzzed-about, self-made mixtapes, Tinashe quickly
became one of the most talked-about and exciting emerging artists. In the wake of Aquarius,
Tinashe found herself on many “best of 2014” year-end lists, saw her unstoppable debut single “2
On” go Platinum, covered magazines such as V Magazine and ACCLAIM, was honored as one of
2015’s ELLE Women in Music, performed for Karl Lagerfeld and Alexander Wang, was handpicked by Janet Jackson to perform a tribute to her at the 2015 BET Awards and became the face
of Ralph Lauren’s Denim & Supply Fall/Winter 2015-2016 campaign.
Tinashe toured relentlessly behind Aquarius, taking her live show around the world several times
over, including sold-out shows across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and the Middle
East. Tinashe spent the summer of 2015 touring arenas and amphitheaters on Nicki Minaj’s The
Pinkprint Tour and is currently touring stadiums in South America with Katy Perry. With a
headlining US tour soon to be announced, Tinashe’s intense, energetic show has become one not
to miss. Joyride is a direct result of over a year on the road, with the energy and thrill of Tinashe's
show weaved directly into the album’s robust, kinetic, in-your-face DNA.
“[Aquarius is] one of the most idiosyncratic major label female R&B albums in years…a gesturally
significant album.” - The New York Times
“Built around flickering synths and future-R&B production, Aquarius was one of the more inventive R&B
debuts in years. “ – Los Angeles Times
