Fans of ‘All Hands on Deck’ diva Tinashe were handed quite the surprise this week when she dropped ‘Nightride’ – a 15-song EP released today.  Branded as “two parts of the same project,”  ‘Nightride’ – a perceived predecessor to her long-awaited official sophomore album ‘Joyride’ – is seeing the singer taken on darker tones and subject matter.

Taking to Rolling Stone she revealed:

I don’t like to be limited to one particular thing so I want to represent that duality and that sense of boundlessness in my art.”

Officially launching her “ERA II,” tuck in below to see the slightly disturbing visual:
