Since blasting onto the scene with ‘2 On’ last Summer, Tinashe has been adding to her fan-base with captivating performances on an array of stages.

In recent months, though, the singer has been garnering equal praise for her ability to work a camera. Case in point her new cover shoot for V Magazine.

Unfortunately, any hoping her take on the song would sound anything like Braxton’s version or Il Divo‘s ‘Regresa a Mi’ will soon learn that it didn’t.
