After ‘2 On’ singer Tinashe cut ties with her forthcoming arena tour to join Nicki Minaj‘s, Iggy Azalea is set to wake up to more bad news this morning following a remark made by ‘Crooked Smile’ lyricist J. Cole.
For he’s taken aim at her loss-ridden night at this year’s Grammy awards ceremony, mocking her failure to pick up an award in any of the nominations she was placed in during a show launched to support his latest studio album, ‘Forest Hills Drive 2014.’
His words below…
Cop a gander of Tinashe!
The R&B newcomer heated up the Summer months with the blazing hot ‘2 On’ and closes out the year with a classy cool shoot for Interview magazine.
Striking, the feature comes as quite the coup for the 21-year-old’s campaign for debut album ‘Aquarius’.
Check out more snap and quotes below…
STYLE OF MUSIC: It’s rooted in a place of R&B, but I like to avoid categories because I want to be able to evolve as an artist and for people not to expect the same thing from me all the time. I suppose it’s some grey area in R&B land.
AQUARIUS: This year has been a crazy year for me and my life has totally changed. People look at me differently. I can’t really go places anymore without getting noticed. I’m playing shows, multiple times a week. I’m touring. I’m going overseas. It’s a big difference. It’s awesome.
THE NICEST PERSON I’VE WORKED WITH: One of them is Boi-1da from Toronto. He’s really nice, really great guy. Another one is Stuart Matthewman of Sade. He had a lot of interesting stories to share. He told me about touring the world with the group Sade and performing in Rio.
WRITER’S BLOCK: Do I get writer’s block? Absolutely. That’s the creative process. It’s a process; you never know what’s going to happen. There’s no step-by-step way to write a song. I’m really very selective about who I play my music to in the early stages. I’m a huge perfectionist. I don’t like people to make judgments before it’s at its full potential, so I’m pretty secretive. I don’t even let my family hear it.
I’VE MADE IT MOMENT: There are small moments, but I always have really high expectations so I continue to push for the next level. I think one of the best moments this year was when I turned on my local radio station and I heard my song and then I turned it to the next local station I listen to and I heard my song. Then I turned to a third local station I listen to and I heard my song. That was really crazy.
THE ONLY THING YOU CAN ASK FOR… As an artist is that people enjoy the music.
SWITCHING MEDIUMS: I have videos of me singing songs at age one, age two. I think music was always my biggest passion; I was just looking for when I could pursue that full time. I took a step back, when I was about 16, from acting to focus on music. I wanted people to know I was taking it really seriously and to think of me as a music artist first and foremost.
CONFIDENCE: Because everybody always encouraged me to sing I assumed that I wasn’t bad at it. It felt like it was obvious what I was going to pursue. I thought I was good for as long as I can remember.
ENTRY INTO THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY: My dad was a theater actor so he had an agent and he brought me into his agency when I was maybe four years old. That was how I started. I started modeling and it progressed from there. My parents always took me to my auditions and all the places I needed to go to—they drove me around everywhere. They’re extremely supportive, my biggest fans, so I’m really thankful for that.
FIRST FILM: I was in my first movie when I was five. I just loved to entertain and put on a show. I really fell in love with acting at an early age. I always had a great time on set. I knew I was doing something professional, I think. It taught me about professionalism at a really early age and how to conduct myself in the entertainment industry and those types of environments.
Nick Jonas and Tinashe are wasting no time hitting the promo trail for their remix to ‘Jealous’.
The duo opened up today’s episode of BET’s 106 & Park with a crowd-pleasing live offering of the track which was unleashed earlier this week.
With the original having hit #27 on the Billboard Hot 100 and its new incarnation garnering ample play on radio, the performance could easily provide an added boost to the track’s trajectory ahed of the release of its housing album – Jonas’ self-titled debut (due November 11th).
In any case, peep the performance below…
Dropping in support of her new album ‘Point of No Return‘ is Keyshia Cole‘s ‘Remember (Pt 2)’, flaunting a demure side to her personality and the fiercely honest album.
How it compares to the seductive ‘She’?
Find out after the jump….
Two of the year’s most highly anticipated R&B offerings found themselves available on record shelves on the same day.
Indeed, October 7th brought with it the latest releases of R&B fan favorite Keyshia Cole and high octane newcomer Tinashe. Between them, they left few promotional stones unturned as they popped up everywhere from ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ & ‘The Queen Latifah Show’ to ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live‘ and ‘106 & Park.’
But, was it enough?
With Cole reporting the lowest first week numbers of her career and Tinashe’s modest numbers slightly behind that, did each songstress’s additional releases (i.e. songs and/or videos) and promotional appearances act as just the tricks to hoist reported numbers upward?
Find out below:
Cop a gander of Tinashe!
The newcomer showcases a seasoned ability to work a camera in the video for ‘Body Language’ – Kid Ink’s single which she features on along side Usher.
Set to debut later this month, the visual – which was shot two weeks ago – looks like it’ll make for an engaging watch.
Peep more snaps below…
R&B newcomer Tinashe stopped by BET’s 106 & Park yesterday and seemed keen to prove why she’s here to stay.
The singer, whose debut album ‘Aquarius’ arrived in stores this week, took to the stage to perform the set’s two preceding singles ‘Pretend’ and Summer smash ‘2 On’.
Peep the 21-year-old dance up a storm after the jump…
‘2 On’ touter Tinashe will next week release her premiere album ‘Aquarius’.
Given the air of must-see created around the rising star, many have been eager to hear what her first full length project would be serving up. Would it be more club geared ala ‘2 On’ or mellower in the vain of current single ‘Pretend’?
Well, wonder more because the songstress has teamed up with our friends over at Dazed Digital to give folk a chance to try before they buy with a full stream of the LP.
Check it out below…
With her hit single ‘2 On’ still making waves on charts, Urban pop newcomer Tinashe is ready to move forward with its highly anticipated parent album ‘Aquarius.’ Her official debut project, the LP – set for release via RCA records – comes after a slew of mixtapes helped build industry buzz for the high octane performer.
As Boi-1da, Dev Hynes (Blood Orange), and DJ Mustard line the album’s production credits, School Boy Q and A$AP Rocky are the only names known to date on the project’s guest list. While we await a full view at the album’s tracklisting, tuck in below for your full view of the ‘Aquarius’ trailer and find out when you can expect to see it make its splash on record shelves:
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…
