Pop/R&B artist Tinashe releases two new songs, “Pillow Fight” and “I’d Rather Be Alone.” The tracks are presented as the latest additions to her forthcoming album, Popstar, expanding on earlier singles including “Too Easy,” “Crash Out,” and “Melatonin.”
Both outlets frame the new releases as a further look at different facets of Tinashe’s sound. One outlet highlights the material as continuation of an ongoing rollout leading up to the album’s release, while also emphasizing anticipation around the project. The Philippines outlet also describes “Pillow Fight” as a playful, flirtatious R&B anthem and “I’d Rather Be Alone” as a raw breakup ballad, presenting them as a return to—or deepening of—her R&B roots. It also notes that “Popstar” is scheduled for release on September 25.
