Tink & Ty Dolla $ign Get Vulnerable On Sensual New Song, “Let Down My Guard”

If any woman in the R&B genre is coming with consistency, it’s undeniably Tink. This New Music Friday (February 24), the Chicago native came through with her second project in less than a year. Titled Thanks 4 Nothing, the 14-track effort finds the vocalist handling 12 titles on her own, though she still requests help from two male contemporaries – Yung Bleu and Ty Dolla $ign.

The former, who’s preparing to release his follow-up to last year’s TANTRA, shows out on “Stingy,” which has quickly emerged as a fan favourite. For the former’s part, he joined Tink on track seven, “Let Down My Guard,” which boasts plenty of the pair’s usual sensual lyrics. While they obviously had the vocals on lock, production from Hitmaka, Cardiak, and WU10 is what really takes the song to the next level.

Ty Dolla $ign and Tink Join Forces on “Let Down My Guard”

The chorus finds our two singers asking important questions to their potential lovers. “If I took you shoppin’ on the first day, would you love me? / If I showed my scars and told you stories ’bout the gunplay,” the 40-year-old starts of the collaboration. Tink follows with, “If I let you f*ck on the first night, baby, would you judge me? / If I wasn’t always legit, used to scam and move them thirties.”

Prior to sharing her fourth project in four years, the 27-year-old teased fans with singles like “Toxic” and “Fake Love.” Thus far, “Save Your Soul,” “Trust Issues,” and “Someone On You” appear to be favourites amongst fans.

Stream Tink and Ty Dolla $ign’s “Let Down My Guard” on Spotify or Apple Music below. Afterward, listen to the R&B diva’s Thanks 4 Nothing album if you haven’t already here. Make sure to check back later today (February 26) for more release recommendations on our weekly playlist update.

Quotable Lyrics:

If I took you shoppin’ on the first day, would you love me?
If I showed my scars and told you stories ’bout the gunplay
If I let down my guard, would you give a thug your heart?
If I let down my guard, would you let us fall apart?

Tink Collabs With Yung Bleu & Ty Dolla $ign On “Thanks 4 Nothing” Album

It’s been a primarily rap-heavy weekend in terms of new albums, with Logic, Key Glock, and Yeat among those sharing new projects today (February 24). Thankfully for R&B lovers, Tink has come through with her second release in less than a year, this one called Thanks 4 Nothing. The 14-track release finds the vocalist mostly holding her own, though she did call in two industry favourites for help.

On the super sensual “Let Down My Guard,” the Illinois native and Ty Dolla $ign take turns trading bars. Elsewhere, TANTRA hitmaker Yung Bleu shows out on “Stingy” while preparing to drop an album of his own later this year. “Toxic” was the first Thanks 4 Nothing single Tink fed her fans. More recently, she teased her project with “Fake Love,” later following the single with a music video.

Tink Croons About “Fake Love” In Latest Visual

After working with him on 2022’s Pillow Talk and 2021’s Heat Of The Moment, the 27-year-old reunited with Hitmaka once again on her latest release. Throughout her lyrics, she chiefly navigates her past mistakes and the lessons learned from them in the aftermath of a toxic relationship.

Near the middle of the tracklist, we hear her rejoining the dating world and expressing fears of being hurt again on “Trust Issues.” By the time the final title, “New N*gga” rolls around, Tink makes it clear that she’s finally moved on with another man who won’t leave her crying due to infidelity.

Few artists have been coming with the same consistency as the “CAP” singer. Prior to her aforementioned albums, she shared Hopeless Romantic in 2020 and 2019 saw her unveil Voicemails. It’s still early in the year, so here’s hoping we hear more from Tink in the coming months.

Tink Brings “Toxic” Love To Our “R&B Season” Spotify Playlist

We know that most music lovers will be ending their weekend by tuning into the 65th annual Grammy Awards. On Saturday (February 4), the venue’s seating plan was teased on social media. Countless celebrities have also been partying throughout Hollywood as they gear up for the big night. You may not be attending, but you’ll definitely need some music to help you get ready to watch at home – that’s where our R&B Season playlist comes in handy.

The standout from the latest round of selections is Ella Mai’s Heart On My Sleeve (Deluxe) album. It previously debuted across streamers on Thursday (February 2), complete with new titles “2 O’Clock” and “Our Song.” Both tracks earned a spot on our Spotify selection of favourites, not to mention the impact they’ve had on fans so far.

The R&B starlet’s original sophomore release came in May 2022. Collaborators she connected with include Latto, Roddy Ricch, and Lucky Daye. She additionally recruited a strong roster of producers, such as Mustard and Boi-1da.

Next on our list comes a new single from Tink, called “Toxic.” As the title infers, the emotional track tells the story of a past love gone wrong, seemingly leaving our vocalist with some serious feelings of regret. It marks her first release since last year’s Pillow Talk project and sees her talent obviously shining through.

“Tryna play on my energy, all these hoes envy me / Can’t show you what you meant to me, f*ck shit don’t get to me,” her voice rings out over the R&B track. “I’m a real bitch, not industry, still waiting on a bitch to finish me / I was f*cking on the enemy, I should’ve known.”

Finally, we have a remix from PinkPantheress for your consideration. On “Boy’s a liar Pt. 2,” she nabbed Bronx-based drill artist Ice Spice to join her. In the accompanying visual, the girls explore New York City together along with their baddie friends.

Tink Returns with New Single and Video “Toxic”

Tink Returns with New Single and Video "Toxic"

Tink, an R&B musician and poet, releases her new track “Toxic” on Winter’s Diary / WD Records / EMPIRE. The song is about being stuck in a bad relationship cycle and was executive produced by Hitmaka, Empire’s multi-platinum producer and VP of A&R.

“Toxic is the song that puts me in that mode every day,” says Tink. “I love to see the girls pop their shit & this is me setting the tone for the year. I’m just approaching everything harder, speaking on real things. That’s how I connect through the music.” 

Tink highlights the musical Chicago in the video, replicating the “Cell Block Tango” scene with her team. Tink then comes to an intense face-to-face with her man.

 “The video was inspired by the patterns we all see in different relationships…those toxic cycles,” explains Tink.

You can see the video below.
