Tinashe wrestled with the decision to leave RCA, trapped between her gut instincts and the industry reality of chasing trends. “I never wanted to be an independent artist,” she says. “I always wanted to be mainstream.” After a brief pause, she shrugs and smiles. “I wanted to be top of the charts.”

“I try not to dwell on the fact that I feel so underrated, but it depends on the day,” she says sheepishly. “There’s times I’ll question my worth because I don’t see the numbers or stats. It’s so easy to compare yourself when there are physical markers like that. I try to zoom out more and respect the space I’m in because it’s not a bad place at all.”

This honestly kind of hurts to read, sigh. She was (and is) so deserving of mainstream success, and it's always going to bother me a little that things didn't work out in the way they should've. And knowing that it upsets her sometimes pains me as a stan because obviously I want her to know how much we value everything she's given us - she's been on a constant roll since 2019, and I don't know how much of that would've come to fruition if she was on a major label. I guess it's always going to be a "what if" situation at the end of the day.
