Tinashe has shut down
rumors of being signed to
Jay Z's
Roc Nation. She states she’s an independent artist. She also wants to release an independent project before signing with any label. And all of a sudden, I have found a silver lining in such news. Her relationship with
RCA wasn't that great. Sure, they got her on
Britney's
'Slumber Party' remix. We know this was probably one of the biggest highlights of her career, as Britney has always been her idol. But unfortunately, that good deed didn't outweigh the bad. RCA took a long time to release her latest album
'Joyride,' which only went on to sell under 10K in pure album sales. Her constant dragging of RCA on social media and
interviews didn't help. She publicly blamed them for
forcing her to collaborate with
Chris Brown, and then she accused them of only
focusing on
Zayn Malik. She also angered the label by
leaking her own music and uploading it to Soundcloud. This was only ever going to end one way. I'm not saying she should totally rule out signing to a major. I just don't think Roc Nation would do much for her at this point.
