Tinashe: Quantum Baby review – playful, featherlight 90s-trap fusion
The US R&B outlier’s viral summer anthem Nasty is the standout track on a generally more muted genre-blending album
The latest career beneficiary of its supercharger fairy dust is US R&B singer Tinashe – more than a decade in the game – whose recent track Nasty went viral when a fan paired it with a reel of a bespectacled British man hip-swivelling to soca. Quantum Baby ’s title chimes with the unpredictable nature of both subatomic particles and social media blessings. The restless Getting No Sleep, though, is the most emblematic of this cult R&B creator: it’s electronic pop, with R&B attitude and a shuffle of drum’n’bass; the video nods to how Tinashe put self-love first.
