i discovered Tinashe about a year ago, and loved every single song he did....that was acoustic. I can not figure out for the life of me why they would strip all the talent off of him and auto-tune his voice. No heart, no soul, just another crap pop mix of a song. Give the man a guitar and a Mbira and let him sing his heart out, don't turn this type of talent into another pop-photocopy.
Only heard of this guy the other day when his song pieces of paper was played on BBC's network africa. Why isn't he better known? Anything to do with Old Bob? or that buying his music you have to add nine 0's to the purchase price?
ugh why would they add to his natural voice. its so perfect and raw... he doesnt need this. theyre ruining the pure and clean vibe his natural voice gives. decent song, but i would assume he cant sing very well in real life had i not heard his acoustic performances.
after listening to this all yesterday and all of last night and straight back to it this morning I have just purchased your EP! ahhh such a refreshing artist miles ahead of whats being pumped out globaly these days
the situation in Zimbabwe makes me sick..... so much talent and no platform.... Tinashe u r pure talent , go on n' do it big, not only in the Ks but worldwide... im 100% behind u!.......... u make a lot of people proud! ...coming frm a zimbabwean..!
I've been following Tinashe for a while now. I have to say this isn't how I know Tinashe to sound. Still good though. :D On a different note, anyone else feel the urge to go get a straight razor shave after watching this video? Haha. It's sooo relaxing.
i dont care what you guys think, this version rocks, may not be as good as the acoustic but so what! the main point is that hes fucking talented and this song has been stuck in my head for a solid 2 months.
Wow...thanks, music industry, for stripping all the heart and soul out of an incredible and beautiful acoustic original and turning it into yet another bland, thin sounding, pop trash sounding shell of its former glorious self
@m1m0x Yeah man, this version is SHIT! Acoustic bravva!! Not this bubblegum bullshit. Argh!
Fuck all the soulless music industries. I can already see they have sunk there fangs in the boy. Sigh. Off to find another unknown artist and wait and see how long the same shit gonna happen again. Money, that's all people think about these days. I wish Aliens would come out of space and destroy everything, so we can go back to living in the forests. Damn, I really fucking hate this world. Monday Blues:)
@m1m0x The weird thing is that Tinashe's Vevo channel (which the label runs) has the acoustic versions of his songs, and his TinasheTV channel has these album versions. Maybe he had something to do with these productions and he's just trying it in a different way with the acoustic versions and the label thinks they are better.
I just watched the acoustic version and I thought to myself "II really like this guy...I really hope he becomes famous, but somehow doesn't lose his own image." LOL I was so wrong...
FINALLY , music from zim. this is the only zim who can sing something which is not museve. mapenzi ese anoimba zvisina basa muzim regai kuimba muri kutinyaudza
@braiton83 lmao but ey im zimbabwean .. im about to be uploading stuff i recorded in the studio so look up fa me iight > thanx, ima rapper .. i have some samples of my music and stuff on my videos, listen to vintage goldenchild, and milli remix plz n thanx
@GoldenChildFFt . i do give credit. but again i say this is singing. anyone can shout or rythimize with the beat like the pips you mentioned, but this guy sings music.
@GoldenChildFFt . just listened to your crap. and you call that music. my man you need help like therapy, study were music like yours in USA is going. nowhere. we are tired of pips singing im this , im that, i hv this singing to fruty loops crap or something like that. sorry pliz try studying books you can make definite money
@braiton83 okay thanks for the constructive criticism .. i have the utter most respect for it. Im an air traffic controller actually at O'hare International airport, music (crap) is a side thing I do, just when i perform at shows with my group here in the U.S, but again, thanks for the honesty -GoldenChild
@leedza i do give credit. but again i say this is singing. anyone can shout or rythimize with the beat like the pips you mentioned, but this guy sings music.
Wow! Fell in love with this song the first time I heard it! Wicked song! Wicked vocals! Wicked artist! ...and I love the way he dances with the guitar:)
I really liked Zambezi and I like it even more now it's been produced professionally but I'm not so sure about this one :\ maybe a bit too over produced, I really do hate it when this happens.. he has such a good voice why hide it behind autotune :@
This track has a very different feeling from the acoustic. I have to say I loved the really heartful, simplistic broken-down nature of the acoustic... There's more of an electro feel to this track, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. Very catchy. Liking the So Shift Mix as well.
you know when you discover a song way before it's time and love it...and then at some point people start catching on and it becomes popular and you feel like your little secret has been found out? i kinda feel that way about this song (specifically the so shifty remix) but i'm happy for tinashe. he so deserves the fame and popularity that's right around the corner awaiting him.
i hope he collabs with radioclit and sinden in the future...that shit would be OFF THA CHAIN!!!
@JoshSource I've also been a fan for such a long time since my friend told me about him after watching him live at a small pub in london back in early 2009 :P
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What? The acoustic version was so good but this is terrible! You seriously need to rethink your sound. This sounds like cheesy early 90s crap and it makes a mockery of your talent. I'd stick to acoustic.
I like it, really. I'll always prefer the acoustic versions of songs, they're not so much better but more heartfelt, but this one isn't bad in the least. Keep up the good work!
Tinashe, please take this as positive critique,you have an amazing voice,any effect is unneeded,is sacralidge even.your acoustic stuff is spine tiggling, hairs on the back of you neck stuff.i'm all for experimentation,but you have something amazingly special,i would sell my soul for a fraction of your talent,don't let media big wigs and producers push you around,keep it from the heart!hope you don't take this as offensive,just the production of this is not to my tastes.your song writing is! x
i hope you read these comments tinashe... so you know that you doing acoustic is an unbelievable amount better, whats the point in this electronic shit? doesn't sound like your music anymore. you sound like every other failing artist with no talent.
tinashé, you the king! however, i like the acoustic version better. in this verision, you cant hear what an amazing singer you are. keep it up man! :)
