I love her but never got that much into "2 On" just because I'm over that DJ Mustard production. Hoping I like this more.

I hate that they pushed the album back. I loved 2 On but I'd like for this to feel more like a Tinashe song than just a random radio hit.

I hate the type of auto-tune and compression she uses on her vocals. It doesn't do her any favors. It makes her voice sound thinner than it already is.
As for the song itself, it's not bad, but it doesn't sound like a huge hit. It might be too understated for urban radio, at the moment.

I love this way more than 2 On. Radio better be receptive.

I'm not sure how this will do, but I like it. It kind of feels like more of an album track that's getting a release because of the big name feature.

I see her going in a direction that is not a nice fit for her.

This is good and closer to her mixtape material than "2 On," but I agree that it may be too understated for radio.

I absolutely H A T E "2 On." But this is good. This is a hit. She didn't need this feature though. ASAP's verse sounds like it was sliced, and cut and pasted in random places of the song.
On another note, this recent emergence of all these thin voiced pretty girls who sound like shit live are making me hungry for a real SANGAH!

Tinashe can actually sing live, she's just not a great performer. It reminds me of how Aaliyah wasn't like a powerhouse vocalist live but clearly could sing whereas someone like Cassie can't hold a tune at all outside of a studio. She's no Mary or Mariah but she does well with what she has.

Her tone is too little girl-like for my liking.

I like this. She's sounds like Ms. Aiko in some parts.

I like this better than 2 On. Heard it this morning and didn't know who is was. Her voice sounds better on this than on her first single I think.

I listened to this once last week and it sounded like background music. Now that some time has lapsed and I completed listen #2, this strikes me as a grower. The verses are definitely hot (that drum beat!) but where's the hook? Hopefully it's there and just takes a while to sink in too.

Meh. On first listen it is really dull, but it sounds like it'll grow on me. "2 On" was far more instant for me.

___________________ Okay, I'm completely sold on "Pretend" now. Something about hearing it within the context of the album just made it HIT (aka I hear a clear chorus now). It's a perfect Autumn midtempo and those synths and drums compliment her to perfection. Seems to be REALLY struggling at radio though, so let's see if that can shift. Her album just might be R&B Album of the Year so I refuse to see momentum fall by the wayside so early. This needs to smash because there's at least three more waiting on deck (ha!) to do so afterwards.
