She's made so many bops over the years that even her is surprised that THIS is the one that stuck out

Feel the same way about that harmony it’s gets me every time

What y'all newcomers probably don't know is that Tinashe is not only a singer and dancer, but she also produces a lot of her work as well. She's the whole package. I've been a fan since like 2013ish.

Im glad she mentioned the harmony part at the beginning. I always notice these in her songs and my favorite parts in her songs.

They made history in the studio. I love how Tinashe isn’t afraid to try new things with it sound, but it ALWAYS sounds true to her. I love that she’s getting her shine and flowers, she deserves

at some point I said she got like 30 songs better than “nasty” but this breakdown was a slap to my face, the amounts of layers and background vocals it has, even the sampling of her own voice, amazing work, a true artist

What I love about this song is it wasn’t intended to go viral. She just makes good songs and people got hip to it

shes the only independent female producer reaching history accolades in our generation. Shes quite incredible, her talent is very unique in music theory, looking forward to what she will cultivate sonically for the future of music. Everyone probably wants their music produced by Tinashe now.

I used to love watching Tinashe's in her bedroom studio videos back in the day 💙

The part that TInashe says is her favorite harmony reminds me so much of the vocal harmony in Utada Hikaru's "Heart Station" lol
