Tinashe is back.
Today, July 16, the "Nasty" singer shared that she'll be releasing a brand new album, Popstar, this fall. Alongside the major announcement, Tinashe has shared a new song, "Crash Out."
In recent months, Tinashe has been teasing a new era, releasing a new dance-inflected heater, "Too Easy," featuring co-production from underground hyperpop and hip-hop producer kimj and Vince Staples collaborator and "Nasty" co-producer Zack Sekoff. Tinashe also shared a frenetic new music video for "Too Easy" which, per the name of her new era, is a slyly satirical depiction of popstar life.
Tinashe has reached new heights in her career following the 2024 releases of "Nasty" and Quantum Baby. In the years following her major label debut with 2014's Aquarius, which included the major radio hit "2 On," Tinashe went independent and settled into a respected niche as an experimental pop pioneer, putting out buzzy, critically acclaimed records like and Songs For You, 333, and BB/ANG3L.
The meme-fueled rise of "Nasty" put a brighter spotlight on Tinashe, and soon after, she notched another charting hit with the Disco Lines remix of her Quantum Baby single, "No Broke Boys."
