AMERICAN singer Tinashe’s seventh studio album Quantum Baby drops today.

Also referred to as BB/Ang3l (Baby Angel) Pt. 2 – Quantum Baby, the upcoming project will serve as the second instalment of the artist’s planned album trilogy, following her 2023 release BB/Ang3l.

Marking her fourth album release under her independent label, Tinashe stated in an interview that her departure from RCA Records in 2019 has changed her outlook into her career, as she feels allowed to be more confident and creative in her music making process, which fans are expecting to be showcased throughout the eight-track album.

“Quantum Baby is about getting to know me on a deeper level. It’s about exploring who I am as a person and who I am as an artist. I’ve never been one to be put into a box, so the name Quantum Baby encompasses all the different parts that make up who I am as a creative,” the artist revealed.

Released on April 12, the album’s lead single Nasty rose to commercial success following a viral video of a man and woman dancing to the song, which resulted in earning Tinashe her first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 since the 2016 Britney Spears collaboration titled Slumber Party.

Born Tinashe Jorgensen Kachingwe, the 31-year-old Zimbabwean immigrant of Shona descent, emerged into the American mainstream in 2014 with her debut single 2 On featuring Schoolboy Q, which preceded the release of her first studio album Aquarius in the same year.
