Tinashe‘s 2014 summer anthem, ‘2 On,’ came as a signal the southern beauty had finally arrived on the music scene.  Sliding right to the top 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 (where it peaked at #24), the tune – alongside the host of other gems making a splash on her debut album ‘Aquarius’ – was building some serious buzz for the-then stageblazing newcomer who was hearing her name in mention amongst “those to watch” for the following year.

The Soul-Pop titan blazes the pages of Rolling Stone‘s December 2016 issue.

Bringing heat to the cold Fall months, the 30-year-old is gearing up to drop his third studio album ’24k Magic’ on November 18th.
