We've gotta lotta love for Tinashe. We interviewed her way back in 2013, and I listen to "Pretend" about four times a week and think about the lyrics—"Let's pretend it's my first time / So you can really blow my mind / Let's pretend we never met / A good excuse to play forget"—"Oof girl you nailed it."Today the Kentucky-born singer dropped her video for "All Hands on Deck" which, is in terms of banger-potential, similar in vibe to "2 On," but instead of singing about pouring it up, Tinashe is spurned by a lover and reborn a bad girl. Accordingly she's humping the floor and touching herself, and in the meantime her boobs are trying their damndest to make escape, pronto.As videos go, Ben Mor-directed (Katy, Britney) promo is super-slick video, set in a vast container yard, which gives it a sense of the epic, while Tinashe and her crew kill it with their Jaquel Knight-helmed choreography. The only thing that lets this down is the styling.
Aside from her uncomfortably squashed ta-tas, those striped and frayed booty shorts really don't do her justice. Basically everything they put Tinashe in seems weirdly proportioned—too short, too tight, or in the case of that reflective mac—too flash-trashy, like a sunbathing reflector or that stuff you dress up your roasted chicken with while it cools on the stove for a minute (tinfoil).
Although here's an interesting styling tip: if you're in need of a pair of white knee-highs, but you're miles from the nearest American Apparel, why not head to your local hardware store and pick up some white spraypaint and get spritzing.
Still love you T.
