Also in mainstream news, Tinashe covered “Genius Of Love” by the Tom Tom Club (y’know, the song Mariah and ODB flipped for the classic “Fantasy”). This revision is produced by DJ Cassidy, so instrumentally, it’s pretty cool. However, there’s something that’s keeping me from loving this. Maybe it’s because this cover isn’t marketed at me, maybe it’s because Tinashe sounds forced on this track, or maybe it’s because I’m being an old fart and preferring the ’80s original and ’90s remake/remix to this. I don’t know. Either way? I’m not that big of a fan of this track.
Per 2DBZ, it’s going to help spearhead Target’s new spring ad campaign.
…At least it’s pretty bouncy and gives her a bit more poppy exposure. That’s always cool…right?
