Watch: ‘At Home With…Tinashe’

Published: Thursday 17th Jul 2014 by Sam

With a host of new names vying for chart glory, Tinashe has emerged as one of the most magnetic.

The R&B belle has one of the year’s most resonating singles in ‘2 On’, which has brewed the perfect storm of buzz for its parent album ‘Aquarius’ (due September).

Still, the question remains: who is Tinashe?

The folk over at The Fader have teamed with Sonos to find out. Together they tapped the stage blazer for their ‘At Home With’ series.

This episode sees the 21-year-old invite the cameras into her La Cresenta, California home – which she still lives in with her parents and siblings.  

Peep the video below…

In an era where artists are tasked with endearing themselves to the record-buying public, this was a great look for the promising newcomer.

Speaking of which, have you seen her performance at the BET Awards Pre-Show? CLICK HERE for the slayage!

    The QUEENS home!!!!!! The rising Queen of Alt-R&B/Pop.

    Her debut single just jumped up 9 spots from #36 to now #27 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart dethroning Sevyn Streeter’s It Wont Stop as a new debuting R&B act to make such impact on the charts.

    Tinashe actually means “God Is With Us” she definitely is and she got a loyal big fanbase off of her fanbase, so she is going to be a huge problem and she is actually smart unlike other R&B/Pop superstars…….

    In the words of Queen Tinashe “They Ain’t Ready…”

        Jhene “

      • #TeamTinashe Stan (BUY “2 On” on ITunes) July 17, 2014

        I mean Jhene “I am trying to be like Drake” Aiko. Does her music even have an identity because all I hear is inspired Drake records. She’s history, her sister now Mila J is the one you should be repping. BYE! 😉

      I support interracial relationship. And you? If you are single and open to look for interracial partners,then don’t miss it. All members in this group believe Interracial relationship. That is –► ____ “MixedPartner.C♥m “….. ___~
      Why not google it and get more information about it? You can google-►Mixed Partner

    Loool is all I have to say.

    • Rosie July 17, 2014

      About your fave’s career?

  3. HistoRih July 17, 2014

    Personality=10.
    Talent =0.

      • HistoRih July 17, 2014

        Yes really.
        She lip synched her BET performance and felt no way about it.

    • #TeamTinashe Stan (BUY “2 On” on ITunes) July 17, 2014

      WOW the LIES! LMAO! You trying to find something on her, she did not lip sync so bye to you and your wack a** name “The History of Rihanna’s Hole.” That shi+ needs a documentary of its own.

      • lexi July 19, 2014

        She was lip synching on bet, on some parts she barely had the mic to mouth while he music was playing.

  4. BeyBeatYou July 17, 2014

    This is supposed to be the new Ciara?

  5. 2ForTinashe July 17, 2014

    My prayers have been answered. My fav is finally on here.

  6. CommanderKelly July 17, 2014

    Her song is good but she can’t perform for s*** imo.

    • Tinaslay July 18, 2014

      This is coming from a Kelly stan? Im sleep.

  7. SEVYNTHHEAVEN July 17, 2014

    Next.

  8. Fairy J Blige July 17, 2014

    If this is who is gonna represent R&B we are DOOMED. Y’all can sit here and act like home girl is hard body but I have much higher standards. I need VOCALS and CONSISTENT stage presence.

  9. Mila Ventura July 17, 2014

    Love ha!

    • #TeamTinashe Stan (BUY “2 On” on ITunes) July 17, 2014

      😀

  10. #TeamTinashe Stan (BUY “2 On” on ITunes) July 17, 2014

    When a CiWarehouse stan TRIESSS IT. I gotta laugh lmao. Like can she even pick up her broken career that Rihanna and Beyonce did to her? How many careers has she destroyed along with hers? Petey Pablo, Ludacris, Chamillionaire, Young Jeezy, 50 Cent, Bow Wow (Poor guy is on 106 & Park as a host now), and now Future (Nobody ain’t looking for him anymore). Did her self titled 4th or 5th album even gain a tour? Nope. Is anybody looking for her anymore? Nope. So long to trying to get the Gayzz to buy into her music…. laughable. BYE!

    • ontherun July 17, 2014

      DRAGG

    • Tinaslay July 18, 2014

      Noooooo!! Not you draggingCiara like that! *Kevin Hart voice* I wasnt ready!

  11. bibi93 July 17, 2014

    We love U Tinashe :)

    • #TeamTinashe Stan (BUY “2 On” on ITunes) July 17, 2014

      YES! #TeamTinashe Aquarius!!

  12. Special Delivery July 17, 2014

    Who is this flop? Alexis Jordan pt 2? She just looks like any other generic light skinned girl trying to be hot and street. 5 minutes into your career with no achievements and you’re lip syncing for the Gods already. Not a good look.

  13. CherylSoldierr July 17, 2014

    Slay a bit

  14. Marley July 17, 2014

    Who?

  15. ontherun July 17, 2014

    good move. she came across as quirky,like-able and relatable

  16. HitchHikerGuideToGalaxy July 17, 2014

    Tinashe is a Zimbabwean vernicular term meaning ‘God upon us’.Because of that I’m drawn to her!!!

  17. Rosie July 17, 2014

    I heard 2 On for the first time today. It can so without the Schoolboy Q verse but other than that it slays. She seems very likeable.

  18. CherylSoldierr July 17, 2014

    Heard her live. She’s better vocally than Ciara IMO

  19. Mark111 July 17, 2014

    I like her. I’ma download her mixtapes. Her, Sevyn and Mila are the NEXT. I’m glad R&B is going back inde, kinda back to the streets, back to the people. That’s why 90’s R&B is so classic, we the people felt it. I don’t get why most stan for sales when sales is in the gutter.

    • #TeamTinashe Stan (BUY “2 On”) July 18, 2014

      @Mark111 I agree. Glad you love Tinashe as much as I will always love AALIYAH (#1 For Me Forever)! 😀

    • Tinaslay July 18, 2014

      Dont forget Jhene! She reminds me of Sade mixed with Drake/Kid Cudi

  20. BubblePopElectric July 17, 2014

    She is too cute. Love her personality! And the fact that she knows how to record herself professionally is amazing! I can’t wait to see what she’ll be able to do once she gets more money behind her efforts.

  21. Tinaslay July 18, 2014

    I love how she always comes across down to earth and chill. She seems like the type of girl who gets along with everyone. Im ready for her to book more promo and yasss @ TGJ giving her props for that BET Award performances! It was fire and the crowd was into it! That’s how you perform. Anyone who says she cant sing based off one song is just stupid. Artist dont need to belt out every note on every song. If you listen to her mix tapes you will find she has a much stronger voice and range then showed on 2 On. That song is meant for the clubs and radio, not the Grammys. I wont bother with the “she cant dance/perform” desperate tries.

  22. Brian310 July 19, 2014

    She definitely has IT now it’s up to her team to put her out there to the masses.

  23. Y’all Pressed Like Yonce’s Weave July 27, 2014

    Sorry but do y’all know how LATE TGJ was when it cam to Tinashe? I had already met her, watched her perform, brought all her singles and yet months later TGJ act like her single 2ON wasn’t release in Jan 2014…a mess.
