I remember Nightride felt like something that shouldn't even exist back in the day; she was kind of floundering with Joyride singles lacking... something, and none of them really landing in the way she deserved them to. So of course she releases one of her best efforts ever randomly in the middle of the all that.
The space Tinashe occupies in my head is a place that is massively informed Nightride. It's 3AM, it's empty streets, it's rain illuminated in a streetlamp, it's waking up in the middle of the night and having to go and sit in an empty, still, and dark living room for half an hour and gather your scrambled thoughts. There's not a time where putting on "Lucid Dreaming" in any of these scenarios is a bad idea. It's really an album that reveals its best in these scenarios.
When I say I ran when I saw she had posted the album cover and was maybe announcing some kind of physical... Oh well. But still, what an album.
