CDS Picks has officially been retired and will be replaced with a daily, more in-depth look at a single song. This new feature will be dubbed the Pick of the Day.
After scoring a runaway hit with her single "2 On (feat. SchoolBoy Q)", Tinashe is finally back with a brand new single to precede the release of her forthcoming debut album, Aquarius (due out October 7th). The new track, "Pretend (feat. A$AP Rocky)" was premiered earlier on Friday morning and will be released on iTunes alongside the pre-order of Aquarius.
The down tempo tune explores Tinashe singing with a lot less auto tune and an extremely minimal backing beat (when compared directly with "2 On") and shows a different side to the singer. The rap verse from A$AP Rocky is also a lot calmer, which makes for an interesting twist as well.
Despite this, it seems a little bit too average to become another breakout hit. I'm expecting "Pretend (feat. A$AP Rocky)" to completely miss the CDS Music Chart Hot 50, though it could potentially become a Bubbling Under hit (#51-60). Listen to "Pretend" through Soundcloud below.
What are your thoughts on "Pretend (feat. A$AP Rocky)"? Let me know below and don't forget to pre-order Aquarius on iTunes now (due out October 21st). Come back for another Pick of the Day tomorrow! Have a suggestion or like this feature? Let me know below!
