Tinashe feels “calm”: “I want people to get to know me better over this next era. I want it to feel very real, very raw.” The triple-threat has just unleashed ‘Talk to Me Nice’, a “swaggy” R&B track with electronic influences that calls for a lover to “prove themselves” and “come up to your level”. It’s set to be included on her new project BB/ANG3L, which marks her first full-length collection since her widely-acclaimed fifth album 333. After over a decade in the industry, Tinashe tells GAY TIMES that this new era is “one of the first times in my career where I have that peace, like the universe is gonna play out the way it should”.
