Tinashe – “2 On” (Feat. Schoolboy Q) Video
With its DJ Mustard beat and its Schoolboy Q guest verse, “2 On,” the new single from the Los Angeles R&B singer Tinashe, is a song that aims for Tumblr cool and down-the-middle pop appeal at the same damn time. Similarly, the song’s new video, recreates some of the tropes of the late-’90s/early-’00s teenpop/R&B crossover era, but it does it within quotes. The backlit scenes, in particular, feel like tributes to Aaliyah. Watch it below.
Tinashe’s debut album is due later this year from RCA; her Black Water mixtape is up for free download here.
