November 26, 201410 yr I did hope this would get another push at some point. Let the breakthrough begin. :wub:
November 27, 201410 yr Bated Breath is my current favourite. So so gorgeous and the lyrics and her voice ... wow :wub: Stunning.'Bated Breath' is indeed gorgeous. My favourite too! So glad '2 On' is getting a new lease of life in some form or another! Please SMASH!
November 27, 201410 yr SO pleased she looks set to be given another proper push, she is far too good to go past unnoticed!
December 3, 201410 yr I just saw this performance: VnKKrOezjY8 She's amazing. :o She combines the very best bits of Rihanna and Beyoncé, she's something really quite special.
December 3, 201410 yr Saw that performance a few days ago. It really is something very special. Major Aailyah teas.
December 5, 201410 yr 2 on to fully smash now :yahoo: I liked it but it's crashed into me full-on in recent days. I love it :wub: Edited December 5, 201410 yr by NellyXmas. S
December 14, 201410 yr Haven't listened to too many albums this year, to be honest, but man, this one's so good. Currently bumping it in the car along with twigs. "2 On" peaked at #24 here in the US as it was a big hit at urban radio, and it got a push at pop radio but never quite crossed over the way "Don't Tell 'Em" did recently, which is disappointing because it's not only a creative breakthrough for Tinashe but also for DJ Mustard imo.

December 14, 201410 yr I woke up to '2 On' blaring on the radio and i had such an overwhelmingly GOOD feeling to finally hear it out there. It completely butchered the song by removing Schoolboy's rap but i haven't been happier to hear a song on the radio in ages. I am still holding out hope that this will do something, ANYTHING but it will probably muster only enough to match 'Adorn' / '3005' and those other re releases. Or she'll have a huge follow up that will really take off and we'll all be stumped at how it didn't happen to '2 On' either. Please can that breakout hit be 'Feels Like Vegas'? :wub: but whatever happens the album flopping as it did will always be a travesty. A #24 peak is decent in the US especially as she's only just getting her name out there. Here's to 2015 being her year, commercially.
December 21, 201410 yr I wish we had more stars like Tinashe! :wub: Little did yall know, right before the #AquariusTour I sprained my ankle!! luckily with a lot of help from ice, Advil, @tinashemomma 's physical therapy skills, and adrenaline I was able to push through every single night!!! Some things are just too important to quit on!! Slay a bit?! Performing with a sprained ankle (and judging by a couple of youtube clips, she gives it EVERYTHING!). WHEN WILL BEYONCE/RIHANNA/ET AL. :drink: *waits for someone to post an article that shows one of them doing the very same thing* :lol:
December 21, 201410 yr I was just reminded of this rather hilarious Beyoncé moment: http://cdn.teen.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/beyonce-falls-down-stairs-in-concert-2007-fail-lol.gif Edited December 21, 201410 yr by mr_aly
December 23, 201410 yr Finally got around to listening to this - I was a bit put off by 'Pretend' TBH as I feared it would end up being an album full of that. Ended up being by quite a bit the worst song on the entire album. 'All Hands On Deck' is INCREDIBLE and needs to be pushed as a single, although with the '2 On' re-release still doing nothing in the UK it's quite hard to see how that would do any better :( Other highlights are 'Bated Breath' (almost TOO good :heart:) and 'Wildfire'. Also the first 3 tracks although they sort of blended into each other a bit (which was again worrying me slightly but luckily the rest of the album was rather more diverse). The production throughout this album is so so good. (Except for 'Pretend' again which sounds like an Alex da Kid reject or something, she is too good for such a weak attempt at a radio-friendly hit, at least '2 On' sold out in a GOOD way). Full ranking: 09.5 Aquarius 09.0 Bet 09.0 Cold Sweat 11.0 2 On 08.0 How Many Times 06.5 Pretend 10.0 All Hands On Deck (09.0 Indigo Child Interlude - if only this was a full song (is it?)) 08.5 Far Side Of The Moon 08.0 Feels Like Vegas 08.5 Thug Cry 10.0 Bated Breath 10.0 Wildfire
December 23, 201410 yr Lol at how I've basically just gone through everyone else's thought processes (except you Pavel, bitch don't kill my vibe) except like 3 months later. And other people in this thread in OCTOBER were saying they were late to the party! 'The Leap' off the Hunger Games soundtrack is absolutely incredible as well BTW. :wub:
December 23, 201410 yr Full ranking: 09.5 Aquarius 09.0 Bet 09.0 Cold Sweat 11.0 2 On 08.0 How Many Times 06.5 Pretend 10.0 All Hands On Deck (09.0 Indigo Child Interlude - if only this was a full song (is it?)) 08.5 Far Side Of The Moon 08.0 Feels Like Vegas 08.5 Thug Cry 10.0 Bated Breath 10.0 Wildfire That ranking! http://gagadaily.com/public/style_emoticons/simple/defeated.png I disagree with 'Feels Like Vegas' being as low as that, but that's just me nit-picking ~
December 23, 201410 yr Only gave this album a full listen for the first time today myself :ph34r: Currently loving 'Feels Like Vegas' the most I'd say.
December 26, 201410 yr I am very tempted to buy this album, as '2 On' has been stuck in my head or days! :o What tracks would you guys recommend for me to listen too, so that I can decide to buy or not? :lol:
December 26, 201410 yr Definitely All Hands On Deck and Bated Breath *.* But it's all amazing and works better as a full listen.
December 26, 201410 yr Author 'all hands on deck', 'feels like vegas', 'how many times', 'far side of the moon' are all a+
December 26, 201410 yr I am very tempted to buy this album, as '2 On' has been stuck in my head or days! :o What tracks would you guys recommend for me to listen too, so that I can decide to buy or not? :lol: PRETEND ! why does no one else love it as much as I
December 27, 201410 yr I am very tempted to buy this album, as '2 On' has been stuck in my head or days! :o What tracks would you guys recommend for me to listen too, so that I can decide to buy or not? :lol: 'All Hands On Deck', 'Feels Like Vegas', 'Cold Sweat' and 'Bet' are the other highlights for me. But just buy it as even the worst tracks are 8/10+
