We were a tiny bit heartbroken when Tinashe cancelled her Australian tour earlier this year, especially since we got to spend an entire day with her in 2015 – but now comes a new single named ‘Superlove’ which sees her amp up the pop influences to unprecedented levels.
We’re more used to hearing Tinashe sing over breathy, intimate R&B beats that made tracks like ‘2 On’ and ‘Party Favours’ such a treat, but here she takes a much more upbeat route coupled with retro synths that give ‘Superlove’ a distinctive throwback feel. This is supplemented by a cover with the song’s title written in neon cursive – it’s sweeter than candy and will send you straight back to the 80s.
Speaking on the track produced by The Dream, Tinashe said “‘Superlove’ is a celebration of happiness. More specifically, it celebrates the kind of happiness that is so immense and infectious, that you can’t help but to rejoice in it. I hope to eulogize this wonderful energy and make people feel good, love harder, and dance together.”
Listen to the track below, while her sophomore album Joyride is set to drop sometime in the near future:
