Tinashe – Party Favors (feat. Young Thug)

I really like how Tinashe has handled her short career. She's picked the right singles. She does the public thing as well as she can. Her album was great. Once you know the album though, it's hard to get as much out her bedroom songs. They're a little too unstructured, not as polished. That's what "Party Favors" feels like to me. It is, by all means, the right decision for her. She's probably got a Max Martin song ready to go. This is a re-introduction that doesn't alienate the fanbase. It also re-establishes her strong hip-hop connection, something that Rihanna – her only real competition in terms of the superstardom she strives for – no longer identifies with. I appreciate what the song's trying to do. Putting Young Thug on there is a nice, smart touch. The song just doesn't do it for me.
