Tinashe follows viral hit ‘Nasty’ with new single ‘Getting No Sleep’, confirms release date for album ‘Quantum Baby’
Tinashe has released her brand new single ‘Getting No Sleep’ and confirmed more details for her album ‘Quantum Baby’.
Following her runaway viral hit ‘Nasty’, the R&B singer dropped her new song on Friday (June 28), which continues the playful sensuality of her previous songs: “No bra, Santal, smells like cake / All good teeth and all gold Ace / He said, ‘Feels Friday like, different night, same vibe’ / Take you outside, movie scene every time”.
The singer also shared the release date for her upcoming album ‘Quantum Baby’, which will arrive in August 16. It’s been described as the second part to a trilogy, with the first instalment ‘BB/Ang3l’ having arrived last year.
“’Quantum Baby’ is about getting to know me on a deeper level,” the musician said of the album. “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.”

Tinashe recently appeared on Kaytranada’s new album ‘Timeless’, where she starred on a huge roster of features including Childish Gambino, PinkPantheress, Anderson .Paak, Thundercat, Channel Tres and more.
Last year, she was due to head on a joint headline tour with Shygirl, but was forced to cancel due to Shygirl’s ongoing respiratory illness.
In a statement, the London pop experimentalist wrote: “Devastated to share that due to an ongoing respiratory condition I’ve been forced to make the difficult decision to cancel my appearances on the upcoming US tour on the advice of my doctor that I can no longer delay surgery.
“My thoughts also go to Tinashe and Uniiqu3 as we were all so looking forward to this tour together,” she continued. “I’m truly heartbroken by the situation and I hope to be back to see you all as soon as I am able. Love, Shygirl.”
In other news, Tinashe has opened up on the “embarrassing” time she was forced to work with R. Kelly and Chris Brown.
