Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” may be leading the “Song of the Summer” race at the moment, but several songs are closing the gap, including “Nasty” by Tinashe. The Ricky Reed and Zack Sekoff-produced track has gained traction on social media and made its way up the charts. Now, the California native is preparing to make the most of her moment with a star-studded remix. Despite joking about putting a male artist on the track, she’s ready to pull together several top female artists and producers to create a collection of remixes.
“I’ve been really open to the suggestions I’ve been getting online. The fans are smart. They have good instincts. So I’ve been reading the tea leaves in that regard and seeing what everyone’s excited about,” Tinashe said about the process of deciding who to put on the track.
“So many people have been interested. We’ve been hearing some fire verses. And we’ve been extending remixes to DJs to hopefully get some official ones. But they’re all in the works. It’s definitely coming. I hope there will continue to be different versions of ‘Nasty’ throughout the summer.”
Tinashe’s “Nasty” is part of her forthcoming album, Quantum Baby. Set to be released in the near future, the album builds upon BB/ANG3L, the second chapter of a three-part collection.
“My intention behind Quantum Baby was that I really wanted people to get down to the granular essence of my music and artistry and who I am as a person. I wanted to explore the paradoxes there, to show people an intimate, tiniest unit of measurement type of thing,” she said about her upcoming album.
“BB/ANG3L really represented who I am right now and the kind of music that I’m experimenting with, so I wanted to go even further with the next part.”
