I'm familiar with the Miley fiasco (how the two other parts were not released) but is there a reason for that? Also I'm not familiar with how Jaguar if going, what happened there? 

Jaguar pt 1 came out in 2020, and pt 2 is coming next week

I think her focusing in her family/baby. And it took a long time to restart the era.

 

for miley, I think it was partly label partly her not knowing what to do since it wasn’t as big as they thought maybe? But Plastic Hearts came out of it so thats good. 
 

The point is, multi part albums these days seem to cause huge delays even if it seems like a good idea. What they really are is a way for labels and artists to spend less money since albums cost lots of money to make. They can take a smaller risk with release albums in parts, and if they are successful, they can draw out the era for longer.

 

I have yet to see it work recently. I think of Future Nostalgia or Renaissance where complete bodies of work do well for a long time. Its hard for smaller artists like Tinashe though. So unfortunate. Label execs are crying about there being no stars anymore but someone like Tinashe is not given the budget and creative control.

Am I the only one who hates the slash in the title? It gives flop/unnecessary

The title is bad. Hopefully the album slays anyway.

Ding ding ding! This is my understanding as well, basically the label is giving Tinashe a test run with the new album to see how her fan base can recuperate what they invest into her and gauge how she does in the tour. 

 

 

That's why it's CRUCIAL for us to support Tinashe especially with only 7 tracks to stream in the new album.

Really good interview - it's intriguing how she recognises that her work was potentially difficult to market in her early career and how she's decided to accept that and continue to develop her artistry in spite of the setbacks she's faced. I think it's really admirable and I'm glad she's given us a great discography.

She’s a (sadly rare) case of serving quality after suffering issues with her art and label disputes and I think it’s so interesting. She deserved everything but for a lot of people they end up just selling out and never truly getting to give us their vision. I’m glad we have such great music from her 

[willmcclure9]

She always serves quality, idgaf about 7 tracks since Amethyst is one of her best 'albums', but i hope we have a 6-10 min song in there

it's the first part of a double-side project. we're getting part II sometime later, but with a new title

Okay but I have so many questions.

 

so is this BB ANG3L because it’s so short in length? Will we get just “ANG3L” later? When albums are released in two parts are they separate projects? Or do they re release it with the first part as a completely new album?

sept 8th and only 7 songs?? girl.... we aren't in 2015 at least add one more song and make it 8 

 

that means only 5 new songs left... might as well just drop it altogether had it been known as only 7 songs

it will be 2 or more part project so more music soon
one song over 5 minutes so barbie world played 3times

[KatyPrismSpirit]

how many tracks is this

[campelo]

I would say people will found this strategy disappointing because she is always serving long albums

No. "BB/ANG3L" is the full title of the first part of the project. We don't know how she'll title the second part, maybe "Part II" or completely different.

 

It's a double-side project, they belong to the same project but have different aspects to it (maybe sound, meaning, persona,...)

 

Also, we don't know if she'll release the 2nd part separately or just reissue the 1st one with new tracks (the 2nd part) But I'm pretty sure the physicals (CDs, vinyls) we'll get later down the road will include both sides. 

[Trip]

maybe she will release a complete edition after the second part drops 

[Kern]

I don’t care about number of tracks. What I’m worried about is - pretty much all albums that were supposed to have second part never got it… Thats why I’ll just treat this as a full project and hopefully it will serve like her albums usually do

[KatyPrismSpirit]

7 songs? so is it an EP? 

 

i dont care if it has only 7 songs if some songs are long. hopefully the album is more than 30 minutes

[Guy12345]

Just roll with it. she knows what she's doing, I guess she's just trying to switch things up a little to keep it interesting.

we're still getting 14 full Tinashe songs and she considers it to be a full length album.

Sure but these past two songs aren’t better than SFY or 333 sooo 

[UMS125]

7 songs?

It's hard to compare when this album is just 7 tracks. 333 will always hold a special place in my heart so it won't be easy for Tinashe to top it but this era has potential to be one of her very best if she makes it a multi part project. I listened to a lot of promising songs that I'm praying she's gonna release because she's exploring sounds she has never done before.

This is so exciting to hear
