After wrapping up her ‘Aquarius’ album era last month, Alt-R&B talent Tinashe is speeding on with sophomore album ‘Joyride.’
And it’s first radio single, ‘Player,’ is officially here.
Per multiple reports, the track is being rolled out with two versions – a solo offering and one featuring RCA label-mate Chris Brown.
Both await after the jump. Take a listen below…
Simple, sophisticated, and infectious.
‘Player’ won’t change the world, but it does a solid service in that it skilfully weaves Tinashe’s alternative lean with the Dance dipped sound that is omnipresent on radio these days.
Aeon better than buzz cut ‘Party Favors.’
We finally feel ready to join her on her ‘Joyride’!
I like Tinashe’s first album, really solid songs.
I’m not sure about this one. Sounds a little bland, but I’m still here for her new project.
that first album and that Blackwater mixtape were EVERYTHING.
Do urself a favor and listen to BLACKWATER all the way through as a CD.
TINASHE is an ALBUMS artist….
not a singles artist.
She should be on Columbia instead of RCA…. they dont promote RNB albums artists at RCA.
Party Favours was more Ti Ashe but clearly she’s coming for some chart glory now. And frankly, it sounds like a hit. It’s nice but we know she’s hiding the big tunes on that album.
I’m slowly but surely becoming a big fan. I want a massive video like All Hands On Deck. I need moves that I can imitate in the clubs lol
I agree, I just started listening to her album a few weeks ago and I love it. I feel like I have a new favorite song of hers every week. This week it’s been the first joint on the album “Aquarius” on replay.
.
But as for this song, it’s not winning me. But the message is definitely something for the ladies to quote here and there. I liked party favors a lot tho.
Literally every week a Tinashe song becomes a new fave. My first was 2 on, then Pretebd, Then All Hands On Deck, Then Wild Fire, Then Feels Like Vegas, Then Part Favours… Now THIS
WOAH OH.. THEY DONT GO AS HARD AS I DO.. WOAH OH! (Lyrics from Party Favours. Get to know)
I know she’s far from a polished pop star but I really can’t deny how much I like her music. She bangs
I love it! She sounds so smooth on this, nice!
Yassss I fawking love it amazing track! Tinashe never makes bad music I love every song she puts out she has a great ear for music very talented!
I love both versions Chris sounds great too I hope she makes a dope video I love it!
Party Favors is great and Player is even better JOYRIDE Sounds good so far can’t wait to get her new album!
Yassss cant wait to listen during lunch. This reminds me……..
Lil Kim’s new single will be out sometime this week under La Face records and her highly anticipated 5th studio album will be released the very beginning of 2016. The new single is penned by Ester Dean and is said by insiders to be the hit that will bring her career to higher levels than before. Are you ready?!
Yeah! I really like it. Good job Tinashe
I love Tinashe! She’s all about her beats, ever since her first mixtape, “In Case We Die”. I like this track. With Chris Brown, it’s definitely going to get huge exposure! I’m soooo ready for Joyride!!!
I don’t get it. Her vocals are bland she sounds like every other new pop&B singer and this song sounds like something that’s already on the radio. Sorry it’s a no for me
If this does better than “Body On Me” I’ll scream.
Throwback thursday here go tinashes debut single i hope player do just as good as her debut single ???? http://youtu.be/0sq14JocSAs
Tbt tinashe debut single http://youtu.be/0sq14JocSAs
Lmao you tried it messy ????????????
Omg I really tried liking Tinashe but her music is bland, she is bland. She doesn’t have the “it” factor to take her to the next level. I don’t ever see her crossing over and making it big. This will be forgotten quickly like party favors!???? #noshade
Ooop her lil stans gonna get madT sis
Slay a bit b****!
It’s funny that Thiefyonce bitter and jealous fans always hating when there fave does the same tired sh.it every era bye Felicia!
Tinashe is the perfect FEMALE ARTIST SHE’S HAS THAT IT FACTOR and makes hott music she’s only gonna get even better cause she’s so young only 22 and has so much more to offer!
Player and Party Favors are both hott ass tracks! I can tell JOYRIDE IS GONNA BE ANOTHER FUN,GREAT,HOTT AND CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED ALBUM SHE’S DOPE AS FAWK!
Biitch f**** you! Tinashe’s music, image and everything is boring. That wasn’t shade or a read. It is my opinion and obviously the GP’s opinion as well, seeing her last album sales, the floppage and 0% buzz for party favors/ joyride! I’m sure she has a few little fans but I don’t ever see her becoming a household name. Don’t compare her to the Queen!
Love it.
Gurl, Lana is flopping.
She better wear those boxing gloves if she knows what’s good for her. Wait for it….
Fawk u bish yo fave is old and tired plus a damn thief!
Tinashe is young and has so many talents she writes,sing,dance,arrange her music,plays piano,does tap,ballet,plays guitar and does her own beats bish yo fave will never bye jealous bish!
Tinashe is a dope ass artist.hardworker and always booking stages can’t wait for JOYRIDE she’s so talented!
YELLIN!!!! @ the JennyCraigtina stan trying it, when its Stank pvssy fave has zero semblance of a career. Oinktina can barely manage to hop on a treadmill than hop on the billboard charts. XtraXtraLargeTina has to cling to features to crack the top 50. Her album Biopic (cos her career is dead) and floptus barely charted, and she has to rely on pocket money from her baby daddies. Bye BlueWaffleMuffin24????????????
The contrast between her mixtape records and album cuts makes it quite clear she’s seriously aiming to reach a broader audience. This is catchy enough to be played on Pop radio but with Chris’ addition, it could also work on Urban. I like the way she sang on the verses and Chris rode the hell out of the beat but why did he have to make a gang reference ?????????
Whatever bish don’t bring Xtina in this shes a fawkin Legend nothing else to be said bitter ass hater!
I have PLAYER on repeat great song I need the video now!
A legend in what sense? Is there an award that credits her as so? Has she made any significant sales accomplishments or certifications within the past 15 years. What will she go down in history books for? You want a real legend, look at XXLtinas inspiration that she loves to steal from (Mariah). Pigtina can’t touch her! Now move alone before I make roast pork out of your fave!
????#WELP. You mention my fave, I mention yours… It’s pretty much how most interactions on here work. You have permission to @ me once jennycraigtina can remember to wear a tampon before her performances. Iz you brand new? #BîtchYouMightBe
I love that picture of Bey! To be completely honest, I’m a s**** to beautiful, buttery, pecan brown black women and I can’t help but appreciate them for all they’re worth. I don’t know what I would do if there were no milk chocolate people in this world.
@Chile yas, but babe that’s Christina Milian LOL. She’s a flop but she was serving some fierce looks and bops back in the mid 00’s, so I had to give her props. I would love to see Beyonce go back to dark hair because she looks amazing with it.
Lol! After I posted the comment, I went back to look at your abs and I thought that was her too. “Did it Low” is still my jam! Poor her for not blowing up and settling for Wayne when his own career is in rapid decline!
Tell it!!! I was so excited to hear Elope, and I got annoyed that she shelved it. The Dream produced most of the album, so I guess he didn’t want her to have his tracks or vice versa after they split. Now the only time she’s in the news is if it’s Wayne related. 🙁 and Nivea is ready to pounce on her ass for taking her sloppy seconds twice. #PoorChristina
P.S. I apologize for coming at you the way I did in the past. I have a bit of a short fuse and sometimes I comment without considering the person’s perspective. Kii I’m working on it 🙂 . BTW even when I was arguing with you, I low-key liked your opinions because you have good musical taste.
Where did you find that photo of Christina Milian? Say what you will about that girl but she is gorgeous!
Hey @coolness! this sounds kinda bad but I actually have no clue what photoshoot it was from, I just know it was around her first album. I usually see a cool picture on my tumblr dashboard and save it without checking. The full on shot is everything tho! http://geneva-diva.tumblr.com/post/130136785169
Awww! That’s so sweet of you to say. I’m standing for you now. It’s about time everyone on this blog puts their differences aside and just apologize to each other for the unnecessary craziness. I really appreciate that, Annalise, and I apologize for acting psychotic and delusional towards you. It wasn’t right and I’m ashamed of it, but at least I learned from it. Also, I love how you Stan for Bey to death! That’s a ride or die right there. She would be so proud of you if she ever met you.
Oh, and Nivea’s “Complicated” album is an underrated masterpiece. She literally sung her lungs, heart , and soul out on “No More”. She made me feel her hurt and pain from struggling to take care of her family everytime she STRAINED that voice to death. “I Can’t Mess With You” is a cute song too. I love the sassy and smart mouth lyrics on the album. I’m mad that she settled for Dream, got pregnant, and let her career die. Now, it’s just a big mess of a square between her, Wayne, dream, and Christina.
She is lacking something. This is decent. But she does lack the “IT” factor. She needs something that’ll really set her apart.
I need the video I love this song it’s on repeat i want her new album now!
Been not feeling chris after he released New Flame……. With 4 Hours being the worst out of all his singles
FORGETTABLE.
I agree. This song and Jackie has plenty in common. Hashtag forgettable .
She’s pulling a Keri Hilson. Meaning…the look is there. The talent/ ability is there. The support is there. Good music is there but for whatever reason the music that’s being released should be kept. All Hands On Deck, Pretend, and Party Favors wasn’t it. This new song isn’t it. They all sound like mild attempts to a genre that has examples or mega hits. This song puts me into a more urbanized sound of Justin Biebs song…”What Do You Mean” but not quite as good. I’m tired of her singles not being good enough. 2’On was fire. Her team needs to figure out her sound and do it quickly. These releases aren’t it. Keep working. I’m sure the video will give a few more points but overall it’ll fade like All Hands On Deck…why? Bc it’s not quite it. These songs don’t live up to her potential or current hype. They’re mediocre at most. Give us a reason to buy a ticket for the Teniashé train. Trust me, I’m ready to but I’m not budging until I know it’s real.
I fool with the greats and those who will be greats.lol but I’m here for ya, Tin.
Keep grinding.
Spot on. She has the ability to make moves, but it’s like there’s no strategic thought process behind the songs she releases whatsoever. I don’t know who is making these decisions, but she’s missing the mark. There’s probably really amazing songs on the album but I feel like she’s underestimating the power of the “lead single”.
Bland. She’s really pretty and surprisingly talented but she needs better songs this time around, especially since she’s seems so determined to have her true mainstream breakthrough with her next album.

oh and kii @ at me sill keeping Fagbird pressed even while offline. Lana flopping has nothing to do with Tinashe. Remain fuming that your slavery ass fave could care less about your musty ass and would rather be an Instagram model than walk into the studio and record whatever Roc Nation hands to her at the time so her stans can actually look forward to something.
The irony of the very first word you used was bland. Lol Did you break your leg jumping ship?
im sorry tinashe this is not it u have been releasing boring ass songs only song u had was worth listening 2 was 2on u shouldve stayed with that sound.
JOYRIDE is goona be so good I’m loving both versions there repeat I love Chris part too Tinashe can do no wrong to me I Love all her music i want the video!
I like Chris Browns verse…
She should focus on Party Favors imo, that’s my new jam. This sounds like and very pop radio. I’m afraid it won’t stand out. Very Jackieish. Chris is jacking August’s style in this. He’s really the r&b Wayne, Nicki and Drake. So many songs and features that it means nothing. To the point that all 3’3’s music is so watered down and lacking.
Your obsession with Ciara is astounding sis.
I am probably the most honest stan of ALL stans so let me say this….. I am not a fan of this. Once I saw Chris’ TIRED ass attached to the song I already had an ill feeling about it. Listened to it, it sounds way too generic. She is WAAYYY better than this.
She is. She has the album cuts down packed, it’s the hits she have trouble with. Doesn’t matter to me, the album cuts is what I want.
I hear a top ten hit and an see an epic video coming from this.
I’m so here for her to dominate urban pop this era! I fanboy even explain how bad I want her to win any further. Oh, and I LIVE for the way she said/sang “California” in “Bet”. There’s just something about the way her voice strained and you could feel the emotion and longing she was trying to convey in the lyrics. I’m beyond here for black women!

You realize Lana doesn’t give a f*ck about the charts right? Unlike your fave who’s scared to release an album because no one is looking for the whack a** singles. Lana makes music for her fans while Rihanna has other people make music for her relevency.
Whilst Lana was flopping, my fav filled another stadium in South America, Chile

Shout out to those fake positive Tinashe comments. This song is terrible. We are tired of Chris trying to help these artist get hits. What happened, to building your own fans. These urban singers are boring and lazy. How you come with this on your second lp? Tinashe needs to go back to her bedroom studio. RCA is messing her up…but hey she wants the fame.
Basic.
