Working with Tinashe was very hard. We had to lower the keys of the songs so she would be able to sing them, we didn't know she couldn't hit high notes before we went in. Then we had to simplify the lyrics so she could say them. We had to calm down on runs, because we forgot that tinashe can't do them. We're used to working with power houses like Beyonce, so it was very different. Tinashe vocal range is like Janet meets britney meets ciara meets aaliyah. Not pleasant on the ears. But she needed an album so we just threw a lil sompin together, just fun music like ciara's basic instinct.

Even ciara was capable of more runs than Tinashe when we worked with her. Tinashe just sits there with that confused look on her face...it's sad. She be like "Trick, you know I can't sing that, that's to hard, I can't do complex melizma and effortlessly ulter the dynamics throughout my range!"
