'Quantum Baby' By Tinashe
Nashe, if you Nasty released the second installment of her trilogy, Quantum Baby, the aftermath of BB/ANG3L. During an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, Tinashe spoke on QB and said:
"I think I wanted to get down to a core level of who I am, and I find that there's a lot of paradoxes there. I was kind of inspired by the quantum paradox and the fact that, once you look at everything at the closest level that we possibly can, there's so many things that don't make sense or things that contradict themselves. I just kind of relate to that concept as a human being."
“Even with this project, there's a lot of songs that feel kind of strong, and they feel in your face, and they feel confident. But then there's also, on the flip side, those songs that feel so vulnerable, and having that juxtaposition between those two things that make me human. I think that's just a really interesting place to focus on."
