Gravity 03:02
First things first, I hope you're rolling up When we get faded I, I can open up I've been drowning in my dreams again Fooled me once, can't fool me twice But it'd be nice I can't decide if I should trust my heart or trust my eyes It's a fight, I know my worth and we're on a ride But I'd be satisfied with who you are inside So stay here tonight Keep falling into me And I'll keep falling into you When I feel spaces we could fill Gravity pulls me down, back to you Hang it up, clothes line I don't need a cosign I believe in soul ties We been here the whole time And fighting with my heart and my head over you is a battle, but I'm so tired What am I to do when I knew I could take 101 to The Westside? The room is getting bright The things I've been ignoring are all coming to the light You could slide, slide Stick side by That's my guy See it, wide eyes, wide eyes Keep falling into me And I'll keep falling into you When I feel spaces we could fill Gravity pulls me down, back to you

Goddamn, run it back All you do is tell me lies I can't even really be surprised anymore Poison dripping off your tongue Poison me with all the things that you've done Now I gotta pay the price Can't even look me in my eyes Ain't good for me, it's a drug Ain't good for me, but I'm dying for some And so I said, "We can't keep meeting like this" I can't decide if this is wrong or it's right I guess if there's someone else, that's none of my business 'Cause once I'm down for you, I'm riding for life Damn, now you're getting in my head Still got me thinking 'bout the things that you said Poison dripping off your tongue Got me trippin', now I'm back in your bed Still ain't ever let me go And I hate that I'm loving it the most Ain't good for me, it's a drug Ain't good for me, but I'm dying for some And so I said, "We can't keep meeting like this" I can't decide if this is wrong or it's right I guess if there's someone else, that's none of my business 'Cause once I'm down for you, I'm riding for life What you do is criminal Got me hooked on acetone Tried to quit you yesterday Poison in my blood and veins I know I deserve much more Can't see myself getting sober Now I'm going through withdraws And so I said, "We can't keep meeting like this" I can't decide if this is wrong or it's right I guess if there's someone else, that's none of my business 'Cause once I'm down for you, I'm riding for life

Tightrope 03:06
Hope it plays out my way in a different timeline I would recognize that feeling any lifetime Don't want no parts of it when I'm in my right mind My right mind, not in my right mind You and I been playing petty, little love games Got my twisted up and mixed up in my old ways Barely recognize myself, I'm so ashamed Ashamed And my mind instantly begins to picture All the different places that you've kissed her And my pride is screaming, "Get yourself together You know everything has happened for the better" There's way more fish in the sea, I already know that But when my loyalty kick in, I can't control that And I been healing myself, I'm goin' in cycles I'm so unstable, I'm balancing on a tightrope Yeah, yeah Need an escape route Ooh, before I hit the ground Don't look down, don't look down I remember back before we were so toxic Summer nights in L.A. make me feel nostalgic Driving through the hills until we all got carsick Oh, oh, oh I'm still waiting for day I come across you I'll be so unbothered like I never blocked you But now I'm speeding in my Tesla on the freeway Got a song about you, listening on replay No, no Baby, don't go, oh There's way more fish in the sea, I already know that But when my loyalty kick in, I can't control that And I been healing myself, I'm goin' in cycles I'm so unstable, I'm balancing on a tightrope Yeah, yeah Need an escape route Ooh, before I hit the ground Don't look down, don't look down

about

Earlier this year, Tinashe entered a new decade, stepping into her 30s with grace. Between the music and her overall perspective on life, the songstress is excited to turn over a new leaf.

“This chapter of my life is bold,” she told in a recent interview when talking about her new album, BB/ANG3L. “Like bold in my decision-making, bold in my lack of being willing to compromise my boundaries. I’m not willing to make the same type of compromises that I would have in the past about my art, my personal life, about who I am as a person…about the things I want to do and don’t want to do. I feel very self-assured and very bold.”

The Kentucky native’s foray into the industry is not traditional. Tinashe’s musical journey began as an independent artist. Then, she signed with a label. She had a very visible battle and issues with being with the label and ended up going independent to much success. Now, on her own terms and creating the music she wants to, she’s becoming a model for other artists to follow.

“I hope to inspire more people to take that route because I think it gives you a lot of power,” the “2 On” crooner shared. “As women, we’re constantly fighting to maintain our power, especially when it comes to business and how we’re both seen and how we present ourselves. I think it’s really important to be able to be in charge of your own art and to be in charge of your own business. I think being independent, while it’s definitely not the easiest route to take, gives you a lot of ways to have more creative freedom and it’s empowering when you’re able to make it happen.”

“The biggest lesson that I’ve learned is that being 100% authentic is ultimately where I make my best art, when I feel the most myself, you know? It’s when I show up the best in the world, and so I think these are all kind of the same,” she said. “This has just been a big realization for me. Growing up, I had people-pleasing tendencies ⁠— I wanted to make everyone happy. I don’t like to cause controversy; I’m non-confrontational, so there’s a lot of parts of me that want to be a good partner, a good collaborator, someone who’s easy to work with. I think that leads to making little compromises and trying to make everyone happy. And sometimes you can’t do that, you have to, at the end of the day, know what you believe and what you think is the most important thing for you.”
