    The music is infinitely interesting, possibly more so than the artist singing it. But then again, you shouldn’t count out anyone releasing an album like Nightride.

    It’s when Nightride decides to shift gears in the latter half that the outing gets really exhilarating.

    Nothing here has the upbeat pop appeal of "2 On" or any of the unincluded post-Aquarius singles, but this is clearly designed for a different purpose.
  4. 70
    As the double-entendre title implies, Nightride mixes themes of both cruising and loving, and does so through tracks produced by notables including the-Dream, Boi 1da and Dev Hynes.
  5. 60
    Nightride plugs the gap with a series of hazy, gauzy tracks.

    Goodness Gracious, I may be crazy for saying this, but Tinashe outdid herself with this project, from bottom to top. Everything on it simplyGoodness Gracious, I may be crazy for saying this, but Tinashe outdid herself with this project, from bottom to top. Everything on it simply puts you on that Nirvana state (something that's very rare when it comes to musical projects). If this mixtape sounds beautifully well done, I can imagine how is JOYRIDE sounding...

    Anyway, I'm fully enjoying to witness her progression, not only as a musician.
