Tinashe Links Up With A$AP Rocky In New Single "Pretend": Listen

tinashe pretend single cover

After the huge success of her debut single “2 On” – which reached #1 on Rhythmic radio - RCA isn’t playing around with Tinashe. They are making her release a full-length album from the beginning, and not do the “EP first” thing. “Aquarius” is the title of Tinashe’s debut album and the release date is October 7th.

As there’s pretty much only one month left til “Aquarius” drops, RCA has decided to already premiere the second single. “Pretend” (featuring rapper A$AP Rocky) was made streamable on SoundCloud on Friday night - August 22nd.

“Pretend” single review

It’s no “2 On”, if you know what I mean - it doesn’t have that sexy but dark vibe and controversial lyrics – but “Pretend” is nevertheless a worthy follow-up. Tinashe’s serving sexy and cute music now. "Let's pretend you never lied / So I can give it up all night / Swallow my pride, and learn to forgive", sings Tinashe in "Pretend".

The R&B-urban number – produced by hitmaker Detail – hears beautiful Tinashe singing about pretending everything’s fine in a relationship at all times (impossible, right?). A$AP Rocky is the perfect addition to the track. He just fits. A$AP’s definitely going to open Tinashe doors on Urban radio.

I'm really happy for Tinashe. She's being well-handled, and she's releasing the perfect singles. She is going to have the career Cassie dreamed of.
