Actress-singer-songwriter Tinashe released two mixtapes in 2012, with "In Case We Die" being her debut. In the second half of last year, she dropped her second mixtape called "Reverie" (which means "to daydream").
Reverie [Mixtape Trailer]
The 12-track mixtape features production from likes of Wes Tarte, BMarz, Legacy, New & Rio, Best Kept Secret, B. Hendrixx, Troobadore, K-BeatZ, Daughter, xxyyxx, Roc & Mayne, JRB The Producer, and Tinashe herself. The music was mostly written by Tinashe as well and features no guest appearances. It showcases her sultry, smooth vocals with some amazing production. Just like her previous project, this was recorded in her personal home studio.
"Reverie" is another brilliant effort from Tinashe. I love "In Case We Die", but this is a major step up. Just a name of few, some of the best tracks are "Stargazing", "Come When I Call", "Another Me", "Slow", and can't forget "Ecstasy".
Tinashe explained the inspiration behind the mixtape:
"I notice that as the presidential election in the United States draws ever nearer, people become tremendously caught up in the Hollywood drama of it all—- and automatically take on, without much consideration, all of the views and the opinions of “the right or the left”. …Thus, resulting in a disconnect from our REAL political duties as citizens of this Earth, and a neglect for the true issues human beings around the globe face every single day. We are so caught up in our media, in our jobs, in our gossip, and in our consuming that we genuinely feel like we don’t have the time or ENERGY to bother ourselves with the tribulations of nations near and far. This… is a synthetic world many of us live in today— a dream, if you will. That is the inspiration behind “Reverie”.."
Back in July of last year, Tinashe announced she had signed with RCA Records and is working on her debut studio album. We can expect it to be released sometime in 2014. Make sure get your copy of this mixtape "Reverie" and "In Case We Die", if you haven't already done so.
You can download the mixtape for free via her official website.
