    Ícone lançando mais um bíblia e choca zero pessoas. Sempre coesa e suas obras! Eu e os 10 fãs no AM veneramos a fada subestimada!

    Great album, the only songs I disliked were Me So Bad which shouldn't have been a single and Ooh La La because of that squeaking noise that starts to become annoying really quick.

    Then, Joyride is finally out! The album is delicious, cohesive, I liked everything about it! Tinashe owns R & B / Trap. I found the album, as a whole, more commercial than the previous ones - which had very experimental moments - but with Joyride, girl still delivers all of her potential.

    A consistent album that has the identity of Tinashe and at the same time has everything that is at the top nowadays. Really good!

    I really love her sound on this and the individual songs go the **** off. My favorites in particular are Joyride (her voice is so unlike anything we've heard before and it just works so well), Faded Love, No Drama and Fire & Flames. The reason this isn't a 10 is because as a whole it doesn't sound as cohesive as Aquarius and Nightride did, and it feels a little like a compromise albumI really love her sound on this and the individual songs go the **** off.

The reason this isn't a 10 is because as a whole it doesn't sound as cohesive as Aquarius and Nightride did, and it feels a little like a compromise album between RCA and Tinashe. The pop songs and the edgier, darker songs are scattered throughout and don't follow a particular theme. That said, the songs individually are very strong and polished and is definitely up to par with what I'm used to hearing from Tinashe. Just wish this album was filled out with 2 or 3 more songs!… Expand

    Joyride is Tinashé's most cohesive, mature and focused album in my opinion and I love it. It's very atmospheric and moody; a great one to smoke to! I LOVE No Drama, He Don't Want It, Ooh La La, Stuck With Me, Salt, Faded Love & No Contest the most; the only track I actually dislike is Me So Bad which sounds so insanely out of place I can only deduce that it was forced onto the album by theJoyride is Tinashé's most cohesive, mature and focused album in my opinion and I love it.

    Это хороший альбом,но Тинаше берет не то направление,которое могло ее прославить-поп.
    Тинаше стоит ориентироваться на соул и r&b.
    Если говорить о плюсах альбома,то это определенно его легкость и простота.Все треки-золото,особенно хочется выделить No Drama и Stuck With Me    Это хороший альбом,но Тинаше берет не то направление,которое могло ее прославить-поп.

    Tinashe deserves better. With Joyride's constant postponed dates, it's hard to imagine what she felt when RCA wanted her to release music for the public. She is an artist and as such, she should express what she wants to through songs. Joyride may be a product of long delays but it never disappoints.

    This album is amazing! Not her best work, but a solid sophomore pop album. Although you can feel that her label has forced her to do more pop instead of alternative R&B, this album has some great songs. Especially Ooh La La, Joyride and No Contest are bops

    This is a solid album it’s just not her most coherent album. It’s cute at times and it’s just scattered.

    Confesso que esperava mais desse álbum, me decepecionou bastante, mesmo tendo poucas faixas é quase que impossível de ouvi-lo inteiro, bem diferente dos álbuns anteriores. Descreveria ele como uma bagunça, nenhuma das faixas se combinam, letras totalmente básicas e som genérico. Faded Love é a melhor música desse álbum - e o motivo da nota ser 7.

    Sadly, forced lyrics and too-on-the-nose productions (bedsprings in "Ooh La La") are a killjoy.

    Joyride feels like an album that has had anything adventurous about it focussed-grouped away and its hints at conceptual ambition are quickly abandoned after the opening two tracks for run-of-the-mill R&B. Tinashe is a good singer and a great performer, with the looks and work-ethic to be a star, but she sounds bored on this album.

    The artistry of her voice lies in those moments of versatility and charisma, but they’re too isolated across Joyride to land with the kind of impact they deserve.
