Melatonin

And, In terms of like the album sequencing, they're also back to back.

So Too Easy comes on, it's two minutes long, and then Melatonin's after that, which is much longer and more like, you know, luxurious.

And you're kind of like sitting and marinating in that feeling for a while.

So I mean, to me, it's just the journey and being able to like, again, have contrast between the records I put out is important to me.

I think that contrast even comes through on Melatonin within the song because those kind of like pitch down vocals that begin it, it feels, and then out of nowhere, it's like you start a sprint and you go for it.

It's very cool.

And it

Yeah, she's an incredible performer too.

Justice for Tinashe, what can I say? And yeah, I mean, when we talked about it, I think the album had just dropped, so we were still marinating, but I'm very ha- I mean, Melatonin is a, is a song stand out of the year for me, for sure.

Yeah.

I love that song, and I don't know, it's just her doing what she does.

Oof.

M- "Melatonin is unique in that it sounds like a past DJ performance." And then in classic Parker fashion he says, "Not noted anywhere, but the string section of Empty Stadium at 35 seconds is literally the opening of Prophecy by Magdalena Bay."

Okay.

Um, we have not-

"Crash Out joins the trend of 2000s Britney Spears-like songs.

Some of these seem like decent club songs.

For example, Pillow Fight, Melatonin, Nobody Wanna Dance Anymore, parts of Cloud Nine.

Others are more FK twigs like, like 25/8.

I am calling on the people to uplift Tinashe and her new album.

Like Melatonin, Pop Star, it's a really great album, and it's got nine on Pitchfork.

And Tinashe has been grinding, like she's been an artist for a long time.

Sh- like she definitely deserves her flower, her flowers.

... how the tracks build into each other.

I also like that Em- the Empty Stadium kind of comes right after Melatonin.

Yeah.

And there is almost this like, Melatonin is like full, like, ego just like complete like just jo- flex after flex after flex in every line.

Mm-hmm.

Um, and is like the most high octane song on the record.

Um-

Yeah.

Tracks and styles, sure, yeah.

So I guess to people who, you know, it's a very quick listen, but there's so many things packed into those 40 minutes that... yeah I mean I certainly didn't expect this coming you know when I heard it I was like and I heard Melatonin and Crash Out had been you know like the preview single so you kind of got a little taste of it but there is just so much complexity in a good way in what's going on here you know I'm very curious to see what the returns are on this I actually had Tinashe sort of on the next segment of one of the further down the line segments of what could be coming because I do agree that first week returns I don't think are going to be the full story of this album.

It is number one on iTunes.

There's like a bonus tracks edition.
