Did Chris Brown Welcome a Baby Boy?

Tinashe stated she was unhappy about working with R. Kelly, calling the moment embarrassing. In an interview, Tinashe stated working with Chris Brown was also a label decision that she was not happy about. The statement caught Chris Brown’s attention, who offered a response.

During a visit to the Zach Sang show, Tinashe revealed that she treats her single with R. Kelly like it never happened, claiming she never wanted to do it.

“I literally block out that R. Kelly song from my mind,” Tinashe said. “I forget that it even exists. That is so embarrassing. That is so unreal that I even have a song with R. Kelly. That’s so embarrassing.”

Tinashe revealed that the moment was while she was young and signed a label, before she expressed regret in working with Chris Brown too. “That was a song that we all wanted to be this big moment, this big single.”

Tinashe Calls It ‘So Embarrassing’ That She’s Collaborated With Chris Brown And R. Kelly, And She Explained Why She Did

Tinashe just released her new album, BB/Ang3l, but if you dig back further into the archives, there’s some work that she’s not proud of. Specifically, she recently spoke about her “embarrassing” collaborations with Chris Brown and R. Kelly (“Player” and “Let’s Be Real Now,” respectively, both from when she was signed with RCA Records in 2015).

In an interview on the Zach Sang Show yesterday (September 13), Tinashe was asked if her collaborations with Brown and Kelly were among “things that felt label-y,” meaning things she was essentially forced to do. She laughed and responded, “You think I wanted to? [laughs] I literally… I block out that R. Kelly song from my mind. I forget that it even exists. That is so embarrassing. That is so unreal that I even have a song with R. Kelly. That’s so embarrassing. Yes, that was label-y! […] And I was so young, too, which is crazy because I feel like I did that song when I just signed to that label. I was probably, like, 20. That was crazy.”

Sang then commented that despite public perceptions of those collaborations being something that Tinashe was totally on board with, she probably lacked a lot of control over the situation. Tinashe responded, “You do, a thousand percent. Especially when it comes to singles, for example — that song with Chris [Brown]: that was a song that I put a lot of… we all wanted it to be this big moment, this big single. So I feel like, in their mind, they were like, ‘You need the support.’ He was their biggest artist that they had on rhythmic radio at the time. To me, I was like, ‘Well, this is a pop song. So, I really don’t feel like we should put Chris on it.’ That doesn’t compute to me, but… I don’t know.”

Tinashe’s BB/ANG3L Is Sonic Heaven

by

A true unheralded veteran in the R&B genre delivers once again on her latest commercial effort. Tinashe has been wowing fans and music heads for quite some time. Her ability to crossover into so many different genres is arguably her greatest skill and it is in full force on her new but short album. BB/ANG3L is sadly only seven tracks and 20 minutes in length. We say sadly because the effort and soundscapes here are truly breathtaking and blissful. You pair that with Tinashe’s effortless and silky, smooth singing and you have a terrific project on your hands.

Back in July, the singer teased at the name of the album on her Twitter account. Following that, about a week later she put out the lead single to this album, “Talk To Me Nice.” It may be some recency bias, but this is one of Tinashe’s best tracks ever. From the very start of the track, you get her looping, entrancing “Talk” vocals with a stripped-back beat that is bassy and truly addicting. The melodies and vocals Tinashe pulls off have you trapped and it feels like all you can do is sing along with her but it is amazing. Then, the beat switch comes in and it lets her voice shine even more, what a track.

Listen To BB/ANG3L From Tinashe

Shortly after that, “Needs” came out. It saw her perform with the utmost confidence talking about her requirements for a good time in bed. But, the new tracks like “Treason,” “Tightrope,” and “Gravity” are all fantastic as well. This album, according to Genius, “is the first part of a two-part project that sees Tinashe explore genres such as R&B, Electronic, Pop, and Hip-Hop.” Well, it is safe to say we are excited for the second half of this adventure. BB/ANG3L is a must-listen for Tinashe and R&B fans alike.

Tinashe’s next project is short and sweet. It’s called BB/ANG3L, and it’s due on September 8 with distribution through Nice Life Recording Company. The seven-song EP will feature the previously released songs “Talk To Me” and “Needs” and will be supported via Tinashe’s upcoming joint tour with “Heaven” collaborator Shygirl. Tinashe shared the cover art, release date, and tracklist on social media earlier today.

BB/ANG3L is the 30-year-old singer’s sixth album and third project since leaving RCA in 2019. In a June interview with Rolling Stone Korea, Tinashe said of the upcoming project, “With this new music, I did a lot of genre-combining, and he really brought an electronic side that I loved in the production. Then I balanced that with a lot of R&B melodies and vocals. I hope everyone really likes it.” She later previewed the music at a party in Los Angeles, and since then, has been full steam ahead on the album’s promotion, cryptically tweeting lyrics.

BB/ANG3L is due on 9/8 via Tinashe Music Inc./ Nice Life Recording Company. You can see the tracklist below.

1. “Treason”
2. “Talk To Me”
3. “Needs”
4. “Uh Huh”

Tinashe Details Her “Needs” With Her Latest Track

by

Tinashe is in full rollout mode. The singer has just released the second single, “Needs,” off her upcoming album, BB/ANG3L. Coming in at just over three minutes, the 30-year-old singer explores her deepest sexual desires. Tinashe seems more confident than ever on the track and has no problem showing it.

In the accompanying video released on YouTube on Thursday (August 17), the singer is seen dancing through the aisles of a grocery store with her friends in tow. In a recent interview with Dazed, Tinashe opened up about her inspiration. “We wanted it to have that playful, reckless energy,” the singer says as if the group had “broken into this grocery store and were having some type of after-hours party in it.”

The Singer Is Gearing Up For Her Forthcoming Album, “BB/ANG3L”

She also revealed to the publication her direction for her next album. Tinashe says she wants her fans to know her “on more of an intimate level” with BB/ANG3L. “With this era, I want people to get to know me on more of an intimate level, very up close and personal. I want it to feel like this album is whispering in your ear. My last era we leaned into a lot more concepts, a lot of dark makeup, a lot of outfits, which was amazing and beautiful. But being able to have this stripped back side of me, to play into different colour tones, different vibes, just feels very cinematic and really personal.”

The track seems to have fans even more excited about what Tinashe has next under her sleeve. “ICON!!!! Baby you just get better and better. So unique, so fresh, so fun! You are the epitome of what the industry needs and what people are always saying they are looking for yet for some reason can’t find. THIS is your lane and you nail it everytime,” one fan commented under the visual.

Quotable Lyrics:

Open twenty-four hours
There’s no shirts or shoes required
Eat your heart out (Yeah)
My body is a buffet
Eat my pussy, boy, don’t call me
I can’t be ya one and only

Tinashe Breaks Down Her ‘Needs’ On Her New Single

by

Known to craft her art on her own terms, Tinashe is laying down the law with her new single. Tonight (August 18), Tinashe is kicking off a new music project of hers with “Needs.”

As the song’s title suggests, Tinashe makes her needs known on the track, delivering suggestive yet sexy lyrics over a pulsating beat.

“Don’t be a tease / Grab them keys / Afterparty in between the sheets / Top floor shawty in a penthouse suite / I make you say, ‘Please’ / Please / I’m not easy, but I’m feenin’ / I’m just human, we all got needs,” she sings on the song’s chorus.

In the song’s accompanying video, Tinashe and her crew dance their way through an empty supermarket. In one spicy scene, Tinashe is seen naked, covered by cold-cut meats.

The track comes from her upcoming album, BB/ANG3L, which she will release via producer Ricky Reed’s Nice Life Recordings.

“For BB/ANG3L I was very inspired by the concept of identity,” said Tinashe in a statement. “Exploring both how I self-identify and also challenging the perceptions of others. I believe how we identify in this world is ultimately our own personal choice; and I’ve enjoyed stripping back layers of aesthetic fluff, smoke, and mirrors, and white noise to get down to the core of myself. Who we are at a core level, when we are alone – raw and unfiltered, is what I want this album to reflect.”
