Tinashe – “Melatonin”
Oh, Tinashe is going for it. Next month the resurgent dance-pop/R&B cult hero will hit us with her new album Popstar , and early singles " Too Easy " and " Crash Out " are extremely encouraging. Today, Tinashe shares the all-out dancefloor blitz "Melatonin," which is already my favorite of the Popstar singles.

Tinashe is returning with her highly anticipated album Popstar next month, and the buzz surrounding her new music is strong. Early singles "Too Easy" and "Crash Out" have garnered praise from critics and fans alike. The latest track, "Melatonin," is proving to be a standout on the album, already topping the list of favorite singles for many listeners.
Contrary to its name, "Melatonin" is far from a soothing tune. Instead, it's a high-energy, maximalist techno track that pushes the boundaries of the genre. The song features complex drum patterns and distorted vocal effects, showcasing Tinashe's willingness to experiment with her sound. She's drawing inspiration from the energetic style of fellow artist Shygirl on this track.
The production on "Melatonin" is credited to Ricky Reed, Zack Sekoff, and Nightfeelings, who have created an infectious dance anthem. The accompanying music video, directed by 91 Rules, adds to the song's excitement with its vibrant visuals. In the video, Tinashe dons a large hat, adding to the fun and playful vibe.
Popstar is set to release on September 25th through Nice Life/Atlantic. With the release of "Melatonin," Tinashe has once again proven her ability to craft compelling, dance-floor ready tracks that defy expectations. The album promises to be a standout addition to her discography and a must-listen for fans of dance-pop and R&B.
