According to Stereogum.com, Tinashe has released the two new tracks, “Pillow Fight” and “I’d Rather Be Alone,” which gives fans another preview of her upcoming album, Popstar, that is due out on September 25. And because two new songs are not enough, Tinashe has also revealed that she will be joining Harry Styles for two Phoenix dates next spring. As for the music, “Pillow Fight” is a playful R&B cut that leans into the flirtier side of Tinashe‘s sound. The singer also dropped a music video for the track, directed by Zac Wiesel, whose previous work includes visuals for Megan Thee Stallion and Audrey Nuna.
Then, there is “I’d Rather Be Alone,” which heads in a very different direction. Where “Pillow Fight” is all chemistry and fun, the new ballad taps into the aftermath of a relationship, giving Tinashe room to show off the R&B side of her artistry from a more vulnerable side. The two numbers join “Melatonin,” “Crash Out” and “Too Easy” as previously released songs from Popstar. The album is shaping up to be another genre-hopping entry in Tinashe’s catalog, with the singer moving between dance, pop and R&B without sounding solely interested in picking just one lane.
