Aug 16, 2024She keeps an eye on trends without succumbing to them. Add Quantum Baby to the winning streak.
-
Sep 20, 2024The format [just over 20 minutes long] proves again to be well-suited for the singer, providing another highly concentrated shot of material that shows her moving with ease -- sometimes blurring the line -- between sensual slow jams and pop-flavored dance tracks.
-
Aug 19, 2024Quantum Baby still delivers on the kind of smoky, sexy numbers that we'd expect from her.
-
Aug 16, 2024Quantum Baby is a lean and muscular eight-song accompaniment to 2023’s BB/Ang3l that asserts itself with the insistence of manicured nails tapping on a hard surface.
-
Aug 27, 2024New fans get a wonderful introduction to a fascinating discography, and existing fans get a project that will leave them both pleased and eagerly awaiting the next move of a star that can seemingly do it all.

-
Aug 29, 2024Quantum Baby is relaxed and a little uncomplicated but continues her dependable streak as an athlete, sex icon, visionary, and artist rolled into one. The best part is she’s never satisfied staying still.
-
Aug 20, 2024Quantum Baby is part of a planned trilogy, and paired with the similarly succinct BB/Ang3l, the album starts to feel more substantial. For better or worse, the brevity and restraint of Quantum Baby leaves you begging for more.
-
Aug 16, 2024Quantum Baby doesn’t overstay its welcome, but it flaunts Tinashe’s charisma as an independent-minded artist—one of the most unmatchable freaks in the game.
-
Aug 23, 2024An opus that reaffirms Tinashe's place within the pantheon of modern R&B, yet one that also proves that she needs to slightly refine her formula to craft that defining record she's been hinting at here whole career.
-
Aug 16, 2024Most other tracks slink their way to the low-lit bedroom (When I Get You Alone). The restless Getting No Sleep, though, is the most emblematic of this cult R&B creator: it’s electronic pop, with R&B attitude and a shuffle of drum’n’bass; the video nods to how Tinashe put self-love first.

Aug 16, 2024Songs like ‘No Simulation’ and ‘Red Flags’ bring back her ethereal, brooding signature sound, too, while others serve as little pick-me-ups for when you need to switch on. But, this record doesn’t weld these two sides of Tinashe successfully. There’s still a way to go before she finds her sweet spot, but this is a fun stepping stone along the way.
