People are hating, but this is honestly very cohesive. For one, these are many of Tinashe's creative and experimental songs that RCA mostly did not want on Joyride. These are songs that Tinashe herself obviously loves and although branded as a "prelude" to Joyride, this also works as a gift to us fans who know that Joyride will mostly be mainstream sounding due to RCA's pressure to make their R&B artists pop stars. So people need to make up their minds. When she does traditional T, people say, "The music is great, but she needs more radio-friendly material because this won't sell and she won't secure a spot for herself." And then when she goes radio-friendly to put herself out there, the same people claim, "This is just not artistic, this is forced, she doesn't seem into it, etc." It's bs. This is mixtape Tinashe with a better budget and maybe if you haters would actually support it and buy it, RCA wouldn't be trying to turn her into something else and her authentic sound would catch on. You can't expect a multi-talented R&B artist to catch on overnight if you're just gonna go back and forth between whether you want her to be her or a contemporary Britney.
