As the date rolls nearer to the release of her highly anticipated sophomore album ‘Joyride,’ stageblazer Tinashe taps DJ Cassidy for a remake of the Tom Tom Club classic ‘Genius of Love.’
Remembered most for its sample in Mariah Carey‘s hit ‘Fantasy,’ the tune finds a touch-up courtesy of a Target ad starring the young songstress.
Did their remake do the tune justice? You tell us below:
In other Tinashe news, the burgeoning diva is set to embark on her “Joyride World Tour” on Feb. 28th in Minneapolis. Click here to see if she’ll be coming to a city near you.
I’m sorry who??? 2-3 years later we’re still asking that question..
And we’re all still asking why Nicholas couldn’t get a platinum album after a whole 2 years of promotion. Much like your fave’s chances of going platinum without streams, I don’t see it.
do your research before u try to shade nicki her pinkprint album went double platinum when will tinashade flop ass.
This girl does have talent.
But. She is plagued with too many single releases in a short time. Her “people” release 3-4 singles and “hope” for a hit.
Look at the Adele/Taylor blueprint – release a QUALITY single and promote the hell out of it. They are going to destroy this girls career. 3 years in and only 1 hit.
She’s in trouble.
Also Lmao @”Joyride World Tour”, I’m sure it will be the usual college cafeterias.
Lol you wild, wyd tho?
No hate but this ish sounds like that karaoke ish from six flags! I absolutely can not! T needs to bring it this second go round but unfortunately I’m not impressed! #BackToTheDrawingBoard!
Much like your name, this is none of your business. Now jump off of a clif dear ❤️
After you my dearest! You’re my lab rat experiment! Just make sure your last flight is a “Joy Ride” muah!!
Nah…
Shut that beef sucker sis
Hell to the nah sister Annalise
Meanwhile Tinashe is getting money and is the next lightskin-BillGates-in the making. When will Beyonce?
Girl bey hives get on my nerve but you comparing this no career girl to bey is beyond ridiculous just stfu I give you a pass you haven’t taken your meds yet
Wow! Everyone loves to sample Mariah. “Fantasy” is such a classic song, especially the remix with ODB. I swear she has one of the best pop discographies out of all the legends. Can’t wait for the “Sweet, Sweet Fantasy Tour”, even though she’s not bringing it to North America. ?
But the song itself was a sample
Flop #3 ?
That picture is not cute.Tinashe is a vvveeeeeerrryyyy preety gal but that picture is a no no
Love it. This is for a Target ad by the way. Sounds fun. Can’t wait for for this tour!!
Trashe is so determined to make it that you have to applaud her efforts. I mean absolutely no one born before 1996 is checking for her yet she gets up everyday, does her best Aaliyah impersonation and pretends she’s a star. That’s gotta be a talent all by itself!
Oh the same way that “Brandy pretends that she’s still relevant 4 flop albums in, and a flop show” oh ok, I see what you mean.
Daahhling No!
Well…if this was done intentionally as a market ploy to have her version compared to Mariah, then job done. Now people will have their eyes on her, but will they be curious enough to look up her music and subscribe to her brand is yet to be determined. Or perhaps she just really loved the orgial version and wanted to sing it? Hell idk.
LMAO!!!!
Wow, based off her first album, and her previous released singles this year, I would not have expected her to make something like this. Smh. People need to stop trying to use the formula of their album needing a number 1 lead or hit single. Just promote the hell out of the song. She on a major label. Its plenty of songs that would not be what that was (for other artist) if not shelved down our ears. With that said she should have stuck with “Party Favors” and Player (even tho I don’t like “Player”) and Promoted like it was her last! She knows this! The girl was indie before. Smh.
This just shows how basic her voice is. No-one is saying that she cannot sing its just a tone we have heard many times before.
RIP ODB
It’s kind of a no for me. On one hand I’ve always wondered why no one but MC never sampled that song more frequently, but now I see why. It is extremely hard to flip successfully. Since it is for an ad, I guess I don’t have much to say.
Tinashe is slaying!!!!! I really like the record and she did good!
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz
What clubs will she be touring? I know she aint booking no stadiums, arenas etc.
Nice that she sample by mariah Carey connon song not too many people know who tinashe is as a artist
