Tinashe Makes Money Moves

I was late to the Tinashe train but am so pleased to be “2 On” (sorry I had to). Her feature on Kaytranada bop “The Worst In Me” piqued my initial interest and I’ve become a full fledged nasty girl in the time since. The lady is good for a sexy club banger and has the moves to back it up! Bouncin’ and its chopped and screwed follow up, “Bouncin’ Pt. 2” — the choreo for the formerliterally includes bouncingon one of those little exercise trampolines — repeat on a dedicated playlist as I get ready for nights out. Before you get into the interview, turn on “Nasty” to set the mood.

Her new film,We Grown Now, tells a story of Black childhood that she’s been wanting to see:

“That’s what excited me so much about this film, being able to see Black childhood onscreen and the innocence and creativity of it. Their innocence isn’t tampered with yet. These are the kind of stories I don’t get to see enough. I want to see more of them. And I want my son and my niece to have these sorts of stories.”
