Tinashe just announced that her new album, “Quantum Baby”, will be released on August 16 via Nice Life Recording Company. Can we all be happy for this? We are TBH.
Get this, ”Quantum Baby” is the second part of a trilogy, following 2023’s “BB/ANG3L”. Tinashe describes the new album as a deeper exploration of herself as both a person and an artist: “Quantum Baby is about getting to know me on a deeper level. It’s about exploring who I am as a person and who I am as an artist,” she explains. She adds, “I’ve never been one to be put into a box, so the name Quantum Baby encompasses all the different parts that make up who I am as a creative.”
ICYMI, leading the album, is Tinashe’s viral hit “Nasty,” currently at No. 62 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The second single, “Getting No Sleep,” was released today (June 28). Co-written with producers Nosaj Thing and Billy Lemos, the song drops lyrics like, “Feels Friday like, different night, same vibe / Take you outside, movie scene every time / Flick me up, I’m fitted up, so pretty, no bad side / Not a dog, but it’s in me, taking shots like I’m Lindsay.”
The release is coupled with a visual directed by Jonah Haber. Check it out below.
So reflecting on her previous album, “BB/ANG3L”, Tinashe comments that the concept of identity inspired it. “For BB/ANG3L, I was very inspired by the concept of identity. Exploring both how I self-identify and also challenging the perceptions of others,” she explained. “I believe how we identify in this world is ultimately our own personal choice; and I’ve enjoyed stripping back layers of aesthetic fluff, smoke & mirrors, and white noise to get down to the core of myself. Who we are at a core level, when we are alone – raw & unfiltered, is what I want this album to reflect.”
