Tinashe Jorgenson Kachingwe is gonna be a superstar one day, though she’s already getting pretty damn close. She’s always got a chart presence (at the moment, it’s her feature on the Snakehips hit All My Friends) and she still finds the time to drop Soundcloud bangers on the sly. Remember Party Favours? That Young Thug collab was our jam for weeks. Her latest lowkey online release, Energy, is classic Tinashe: sultry RnB with a clear Trap influence.
Right now, the actress-cum-singer is preparing her Sophmore major-label effort, Joyride. We’re wondering where she’ll take her sound, but jugding by what she’s told us in the past, she won’t go too far from her roots. Speaking to i-D last year,Tinashe talked about handling the transition from creating cult mixtapes to releasing her official debut, Aquarius. “I wanted to…give my ‘day one’ fans something that is very true to me but a definite step forwards whilst debuting my sound and voice as an artist to everyone else.”
While we wait for Joyride, Energy will get a fair amount of airplay. We reckon it come in second, after BOSS, as Tinashe’s sexiest track ever.
