The incredible album effortlessly blends her R&B roots, hip-hop confidence and forward- leaning sonics into a body of work that is distinctly Tinashe. Aquarius features production from the likes of DJ Mustard, Redwine, and DJ Marley (“2 On” featuring ScHoolboy Q), Detail (“Pretend” featuring A$AP Rocky), Stargate (“All Hands On Deck,” “Feels Like Vegas”), DJ Dahi and Blood Diamonds (“Bet” featuring Devonté Hynes), Boi-1da (“Cold Sweat”) and Tinashe herself, among others.

“Ultimately, Tinashe makes a statement with her first offering. This is her moment. She's on her way to the top, and she deserves the crown. Mainly because she made a dream you'll never want to awaken from with Aquarius,” says Artist Direct on the album.
