The September 25 release pairs 16 tracks with an expansive view of what a pop star can sound like.

Tinashe’s Popstar arrived September 25, adding a new full-length release to this week’s music lineup. Apple Music lists 16 songs and a 39-minute running time, while her official website advertises the same release date. HotNewHipHop also included the project in its September 25 release guide.

In comments published with Apple Music’s album listing, Tinashe explained that she sees being a pop star as a combination of influences, not a restriction to one genre. She described her own ideas, melodies and vocal choices as the connection between different inspirations.

The album follows a rollout that began months before release day. Pitchfork reported the announcement in July, identifying ‘Too Easy’ and ‘Crash Out’ as advance tracks. Listeners can find the album through the official artist and Apple Music links below; this release brief is not an album review.

Release date and album details were checked against the Apple Music listing, the artist’s official website and release coverage. Tinashe’s explanation is attributed to her published Apple Music comments. No chart, sales or listening-review claims are made.
