It doesn’t
She’s overrated asf to me but I know that’s the unpopular opinion on here
“I never wanted to be an independent artist,” she told Pitchfork. “I always wanted to be mainstream…I wanted to be top of the charts…When I first got in the game, I feel like my label viewed me very much as an R&B act, which was confusing because I felt that my music was more in the Pop space.”
“There’s a lot of negative connotation associated with being a Pop artist: It’s cheesy, simple, basic,” she added. “It can be those things, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be…What pop means to me is strong melodies, strong performance, strong persona, catchiness, relatability. A lot of people made me feel that if I went in that direction, I would be watering down my artistry. I feel like, for many years, people were like, ‘Tinashe is corny,’ and it felt like a very lazy critique. Still, to this day, I’m like, what do you mean by that?”
“I try not to dwell on the fact that I feel so underrated, but it depends on the day,” Tinashe stated “There’s times I’ll question my worth because I don’t see the numbers or stats. It’s so easy to compare yourself when there are physical markers like that…I try to zoom out more and respect the space I’m in because it’s not a bad place at all.”

she is unappreciated by fans today
Tinashe could have been where Doja Cat is rn if she had a better label than rca when she first got in the game
Tinashe had the opportunity to be Mustards girl back when he was hot, but she didn’t want to be put in a box.
look at ella mai. no shade

Her and Doja were at the same level for awhile. Doja got extremely lucky (not hating) by going viral with the Moo song and the rest is history.
She’s still making good music that I enjoy, she just missed her chance to really breakthrough to the mainstream. Do ppl really call her corny tho? She doesn’t really stick out as particularly corny to me at least
I think the word corny is overused in general but let's not act like Tinashe isn't called corny for a reason

Her artistic presentation was offensively bad
She kinda earned her right to talk her s*** honestly. Great mixtapes and a solid debut. Then she was tossed aside and treated like an afterthought by her label, her label had her making music that just wasn't really her thing, and when she naturally underperformed due to lack of support they dropped her. She went independent and dropped two outstanding albums of her making the music she's been wanting to make, had two sold out successful concerts for those albums, and she's basically clawed her way back to the mainstream.
She got it forreal

Now honestly was this her direction, or was this the label's? Genuine question here.
Well that doesn’t come off as condescending at all
care to explain?
I dont see anything wrong with what she said

Honestly Moo was just the first song she dropped once she developed a serious hitmaking ability (the whole thing was memeable on top of it which helped). But at the end of the day she just knows how to make hits
Tinashe never developed a serious hitmaking ability. If anything she got lucky with 2 On

I’m rooting for her rn
Shes so talented

Who knows, Her team beyond her probably had a heavy hand in it as well . Whoever it was it feels like they aimed for that Quirky vibe Doja cashed in on but had no actual idea how to
Shame cause she’s talented but she’s still young , not out the picture just needs that 1 good push on a single
