The New York Times ran a glowing review of your album that said you and Beyoncé are pretty much the only female voices in a male-dominated era of R&B. That's really bugged because R&B has traditionally been the main outlet for female voices in urban music. Why do you think it’s different now?
I think more recently, they honed in on this idea that there can only be, like, one, or two female artists. Which really doesn't make sense to me because there's a million male artists that look the same, sound the same, make the same music, and nobody cares about that. But you can't be a fan of Tinashe and Beyoncé, you can't be a fan of Rihanna and Tinashe, you have to pick one or the other. Like, why can't you just be a fan of both?
The navy, the hives… Yeah, exactly. It's very segregated and I don't know what that's about, but hopefully that will change.
