#NEWMUSIC: TINASHE – NEW ALBUM “POPSTAR”

Today, Multi-platinum selling singer, songwriter, producer and DJ Tinashe releases her highly anticipated 8th studio album, Popstar – Listen HERE.  The genre spanning 16-track LP features production from Ricky Redd, Zach Sekoff, Fred Ball, Kingdom, Dave Hamelin, Machinedrum, Arca, Illangelo, Camper, kimj, nightfeelings, Couros, Casey Mattson, and Andrew Wells. 

Previously released singles, “Too Easy,”  “Crash Out,” “Pillow Fight,” and “I’d Rather Be Alone” were all received to widespread critical praise. With the release of the full project, Tinashe is redefining her version of a Popstar and capturing the most honest version of herself, where she is no longer allowing anyone to box her in or categorize her in one genre. With Popstar, Tinashe immerses her fans into her current era: one filled with defiant and unapologetic anthems, paired with high-energy, choreography filled visuals to match that continue to show off her innate ability to flawlessly blend genres and pave her own path

To celebrate the release of the album, Tinashe is hosting in-store vinyl signings in New York, Baltimore, Chicago and Southern California.

Next up, Tinashe will play three headlining shows this fall in Chicago on October 16th, Brooklyn on October 24th and Los Angeles on November 7th. Pre-sale tickets sold out almost immediately, making it her fastest-selling pre-sale to date and general on-sale tickets also sold out shortly after. These shows will see Tinashe perform Popstar on stage for the first time.

The Grammy Museum will be hosting Tinashe for an intimate live performance and Q&A on October 22nd at the Ray Charles Rooftop Terrace in LA. Tickets are on-sale starting Saturday, 9/26, visit https://grammymuseum.org/event/the-drop-tinashe/ for more information.
