TINASHE RELEASES NEW ALBUM ‘POPSTAR’
Multi-platinum selling singer, songwriter, producer and DJ Tinashe releases her highly anticipated 8th studio album, Popstar. The genre spanning 16-track LP features production from Ricky Redd, Zach Sekoff, Fred Ball, Kingdom, Dave Hamelin, Machinedrum, Arca, Illangelo, Camper, kimj, nightfeelings, Couros, Casey Mattson, and Andrew Wells.
Previously released singles, “Too Easy,” “Crash Out,” “Pillow Fight,” and “I’d Rather Be Alone” were all received to widespread critical praise. With the release of the full project, Tinashe is redefining her version of a Popstar and capturing the most honest version of herself, where she is no longer allowing anyone to box her in or categorize her in one genre. With Popstar, Tinashe immerses her fans into her current era: one filled with defiant and unapologetic anthems, paired with high-energy, choreography filled visuals to match that continue to show off her innate ability to flawlessly blend genres and pave her own path.
To celebrate the release of the album, Tinashe is hosting in-store vinyl signings in New York, Baltimore, Chicago and Southern California.
Next up, Tinashe will play three headlining shows this fall in Chicago on October 16th, Brooklyn on October 24th and Los Angeles on November 7th. Pre-sale tickets sold out almost immediately, making it her fastest-selling pre-sale to date and general on-sale tickets also sold out shortly after. These shows will see Tinashe perform Popstar on stage for the first time.
The Grammy Museum will be hosting Tinashe for an intimate live performance and Q&A on October 22nd at the Ray Charles Rooftop Terrace in LA. Tickets are on-sale starting Saturday, 9/26, visit https://grammymuseum.org/
Tinashe was also recently announced as a special guest on Harry Styles’ Together, Together Tour for shows in Phoenix, AZ on April 2 & 3 at State Farm Stadium. Visit hstyles.co.uk to learn more about how to secure tickets.
Popstar comes off Tinashe’s back to back #1 charting hits with “No Broke Boys” with Disco Lines and “Nasty.” “No Broke Boys” with Disco Lines hit number 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs and remained for several weeks. The track was nominated at this year’s BRIT awards for “International Song of the Year,” at the 2026 American Music Awards for Social Song of the Year and won Dance Song of the Year at the 2026 iHeart Radio Music Awards. The song originally appeared on her album, Quantum Baby, which also featured her #1 hit single “Nasty.” “Nasty” propelled to new heights and upon release, was lauded as the song of summer by many in 2024.
