    After all she went through with prior record label RCA, it’s such a breath of fresh air for her to go independent and have no rules to follow and we see her true self. This album is so beautiful from start to finish. I’m so proud of her and how she endured the things she went through.

    This album is perfect for me, Tinashe is amazing, her voice is everything. She is super talented and she can do everything, she is good at doing r&b music, pop music and trap, and Songs For You proves that. My favorite album

    Her most cohesive project. One of the best albums of the year. Being an independent artist has really pushed Tinashe to her best.

    Damn. I'm not a huge fan of trap so i wasn't expecting to really like this album but i'm glad i decided to give it a listen because clearly this is something different, it has various music genres and her vocals are very good. I think everyone should give it a listen because it has a least one song you would like if not every single one

    Songs For You is a masterpiece. From “Feelings” to “Remember When” Tinashe captivates listeners with incredible moments through well-written lyrics, exceptional production, and thoughtful features. Tinashe does it all.

    As someone who rooted for her but never loved her previous works, this album was very solid. I had some hype after hearing her No Guidance remix and Die a Little Bit and the album did not disappoint Some of the "Nashe" inspired songs don't really do much for me, but the others are either good enough or great songs on the album and makes this a good album.

    Excelente álbum, com um r&b diversificado misturando músicas românticas, dançantes, Nashe vem com tudo, agora no seu novo selo, e nisso ela se mostrou que pode fazer um trabalho de qualidade sem precisar de uma gravadora, faixas viciantes, pena que não foi muito sucesso, mas tenho certeza que em breve ela vai vir com tudo, se preparem pois Tinashe apenas começou.

    Despite some strange creative choices, "Songs For You" is an album that shows that Tinashe isn't afraid to try everything she's ever wanted to now that she's not being heckled by her label. It's a triumphant return.

    Idk if it’s a “perfect” album, or how the critics want an album to sound, but this album is AMAZING. 0 skips. Each track has a gorgeous production and welcoming complementary lyrics. I have repeatedly went to listen to one song and ended up listening to the whole album again.

    Amazing!!! Maybe needs one or two more distinctive songs because some of them are forgettable but they flow so well to maintain a cohesive sound

    Her best work. Her label was really holding her back. I love it so much. My faves are Perfect Crime, Save Room For Us, and Know Better. Been a Tinashe stan since 2015

    A great album!
    Love how she incorporates various genres into her work.
    Stormy weather stands out. "keep on flipping backwards and forwards" with her music but then she says **** it, gotta go with the feeling". She is more instinctive with her music.
    Die a little bit is another amazing track.
    The last track is the best way to end the album. Makes u keep wanting to relisten to the whole album.

    Tinashe truly shows her all with this album- which is a big glow up from her previous album, Joyride.

    Tinashe proves she not only doesn´t need a record label behind her productions, but that she´s way better that way. Songs For You proves extreme maturity and shows us a much more personal side from the singer.
    Top Track: Perfect Crime
    Worst Track: Die A Little Bit

    É um álbum delicado ao mesmo tempo agressivo, digamos que sentimental/sexual. Recomendo pra quem curti R&B e Pop dançante. O destaque vai para Feelings. Quer dançar? All songs for you baby!

    The risk-taking singer masterfully draws you into her romantic pleasures and anxieties. [Jan 2020, p.84]

    It isn’t fair that it took years of label mishandling to get here, but Tinashe has finally found equilibrium.

    Songs For You is triumphant; those unexpected pivots more often than not being pulled off with an addictive energy. For those that had given up hope, Songs For You is a sign that you should never count Tinashe out just yet. Now fully back in control, her only way is up.
