Tinashe also revealed another promotional single, "Ride of Your Life", on February 2, 2016. [1]
On July 15, 2016, Tinashe released the lead single for Joyride, "Superlove". The music video directed by Hannah Lux Davis made its debut on August 12, 2016 on MTV's Snapchat and gained rave reviews for the video. The video on YouTube reached one million views in just a day and a half.[73] (already in article)
On September 15, 2016, with a MTV[2] Wonderland performance, Tinashe dropped "Company[3]"[4] as Joyride's second single. Contrary to her previous works, "Company" wasn't co-written by Tinashe. [5]
Tinashe writes and produces most of her music in her home studio, and describes her musical style as follows:
- I'm just really inspired by R&B, hip-hop, and alternative music so I just wanted to combine all three of those for the sound. And the type of person I am, I just find darkness interesting in a way. I just love songs that sound like a little crazy, I think it creates an interesting juxtaposition between my voice because it is so bright, and soft, and like pretty, and sweet that I don't want my music to come across sweet or nice. I do like the opposite, so I think of something that's dark and heavy and then I put like sweet and light on top.[74] (already in article).
She describes her biggest flaw as an artist as "not fitting into a particular genre." [6]
Tinashe was inspired by the music her parents would play in the house when she was young. She cites Little Dragon[7], Emily Haines[8], Sade, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera as her influences.[77][78][6] (added more influences)
