Likened to a “Baby Beyonce”, Tinashe has all the makings of a future luminary.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just about people getting to know who I am as an artist, as a young woman working in the music industry,\u201d offers 21-year-old Tinashe Kachingwe when I ask her about the themes on her new album, Aquarius<\/i>. Like butter wouldn\u2019t melt. But I\u2019ve listened to her major label debut. It extols the virtues of everything from multiple orgasms to getting so high you start seeing things. And that\u2019s the joy of Tinashe. She teams feathery lightness with hefty hints at the shadowy subtexts of a young female mind. The video for her ratchet club-smash single, \u201c2 On\u201d, opens with her posing for selfies and practising dance routines with her girls, and eventually descends into the dark corners of an \u201canything could happen\u201d sweaty warehouse club.<\/p>\n

Tinashe has been working in the industry for years \u2014 she starred opposite Tom Hanks in Polar Express<\/i> and Charlie Sheen in Two and a Half Men. <\/i>She spent a good chunk of her teenage years in bubblegum pop five-piece, The Stunners, dodging Beliebers as the slick-topped pop brat\u2019s support act. But when the group disbanded, Tinashe took her earnings, built a home studio and holed up making self-released mixtapes. She\u2019d done her time and learnt the ropes, now she was ready to carve her own space.<\/p>\n
