Tinashe Releases Popstar, Her Atlantic-Backed Eighth Album

The 16-track, genre-fluid record marks a new major-label phase for Tinashe and has already driven rapid ticket demand for live events.

Overview

  • Tinashe has released Popstar, an eight-album project of 16 tracks that is available now on streaming services and in physical formats.
  • The album is her first with Atlantic Records alongside Nice Life and Tinashe Music and completes a trilogy that began with BB/Ang3l and Quantum Baby.
  • Five singles — “Too Easy,” “Crash Out,” “Melatonin,” “Pillow Fight,” and “I’d Rather Be Alone” — preceded the full release and set the album’s pop, R&B, electronic, and dance tones.
  • Live promotion is starting immediately: presale tickets for a short Three Nights With a Popstar headlining run sold out quickly, an intimate Grammy Museum performance is scheduled, and she will appear as a special guest on Harry Styles’ Phoenix dates next spring.
  • Coverage highlights a wide roster of collaborators and producers, including Zack Sekoff and Ricky Reed, and reports that formal, full album credits are expected to be published shortly.
