An excerpt from my interview with Tinashe for our Ladies First series on HNHH:
We're launching Ladies First at the top of Women's History Month with the help of Tinashe who has been storming the alternative space in Hip Hop, R&B, and Pop. Over the years, the 29-year-old has often surfaced with complaints about being boxed in by record labels or even dismissed as she chased musical avenues that executives didn't deem as profitable. Her 2014 debut studio album Aquarius continues to be hailed by fans as one of the best records from her catalog, and with each new release, including her recently praised 333, Tinashe seems to be breaking down barriers that have been set in place by the industry.
"I guess nowadays, I’ve really been focusing on not limiting myself to any particular genre and basically just my own perception of what I think R&B should sound like, or [what] pop should sound like, or an artist, what kind of music they should make," she told us. "I think being free of those limitations has allowed me to make better music. I think my projects have become really well-rounded and I love being able to have that range. I love being able to do a little bit of this and a little bit of that, like, that seems really natural and true to who I am as a person."
