Ok?

Tinashe built a core fanbase with her mixtapes, that’s how she got signed in the first place. If anything the label uprooted her with the success of 2 On, which is a song that is not similar to her previous sound she established with her core base. She was not a plant.

this not how it work big fella

Not comparing

If it's just marketing, what is stopping her?

This. An artist only gets one, maybe two chances to blow up and she missed on those opportunities.

Well I'm not a marketing expert but I'm sure that with the right label push anyone can become a star. Travis and Eminem are some of the most boring people I've ever come across and they are massively successful

I saw ppl on Twitter calling a single she put out recently a potential hit, maybe with label backing and s*** it would have become one. Especially if she got that Ariana feat she was supposed to get

She's been around for a long time and ppl already know her and associate her with a lot of corny s***, maybe if she came to the game brand new just now she'd have a chance

But when she puts on her Doja Cat cosplay she's a superstar

have you looking like this after you nut : .

The fact that there's probably millions of people like me who didn't know that she dropped an album. I still wouldn't know if I didn't see this thread at like 2am this morning fr

Eh i dont care about artists flopping they still make more money than the average human

lol what. you seen what her others been doing.

not gettting the hype tho. ain't felt none of her s*** in a while

What is this?

FAX

I mean Doja makes good music with gimmicks which is a one up

well she need to sign a label if she cares about being big, but it doesn't seem like she cares

Crine

Her last label wasn't doing her any favors, that's why she was fed up lol

What's the right label push though?

• She had future, Chris Brown, young thug and Britney spears as features

• She performed her songs and dance routines on late 'night shows

• She had a hit with dj mustard (2 on)

• she had multiple interviews with credited radio shows etc

• She even had a drake feat that leaked apperently

• She has millions of followers across multiple social media platforms

Tinashe has been out infront of enough faces for the public to make their own decision about her tbh - it didn't stick

I really don't think that anything besides very catchy radio hits will make her the popstar she thought she'd be by signing with RCA records

And as an independent artist who lived trough her label "doing her wrong" she should know what to do right, no ? (I'd imagine)
Is it money for more backing that is lacking?
Idk but I really feel like, excuse the harsh words, but no one gives a damn about her nor her talent

• She isn't a exceptional talent or at least hasn't marketed herself as an exceptional talent/artist

• Her producing doesn't gets talked about nor is it sought after (correct me if I'm wrong but no one besides her core fanbase cares that she's produced her own music and no one relevant is trying to have their records produced by her)

• No one besides her core fanbase cares she dances good (Ciara and Janet are better dancers in this rnb game tbh and yes the rnb fans will compare her to the other singers, hell even normani is more liked as a dancer ;she did dancing with the stars which could've helped with that perception)

• She isn't an exceptional singer or has a distinct ("unique") voice (having an "unique voice" is mostly marketing but it worked for people like rihanna)
  Don't take this post as hate,

  I used to root for her but stopped caring cuz the songs and art direction weren't appealing to me - even her fan engagement was weak asl imo

Tinashe never had a Moo moment

And what I was trying to highlight is the fact that Tinashe also makes good music but without any gimmicks which led her to sell 7k instead of nearly 200k first week (and yeah Doja's album was fun too)

Album was good

Tour gonna slap f*** sales

What you mentioned are old traditional tactics that just doesn’t work anymore. Again, she came up in the SoundCloud era. Traditional media outlets does control the narrative of an artist anymore. This isn’t the 2000s.

The label didn’t know what to do with her, it wasn’t entirely their fault because like I said earlier. This was during the transition phase because it was early ‘10s, artist like The Weeknd and PARTYNEXTDOOR were emerging on the scene. Not artist like Ciara or Britney Spears. The success of 2 On a gift and a curse. It made the label believe that’s the route they should go, but it actually wasn’t. It abandoned the sound she created from her mixtapes, leading to an identity crises during her time with RCA.

Just listened to her album cause of this thread. It's alright kinda mid at times but it got some great songs

ok.

this is like that other thread they made about normani single like who actually cares

She was a side character on a forgettable movie that turned into an even more forgettable tv series lol

And this was back in 2006
