Tinashe's not long off releasing her sophomore album Joyride, the follow up to her acclaimed debut Aquarius which sees the young R & B vixen bring in a pretty diverse range of all-star talents - Max Martin, Dr. Luke, Hit-Boy, Travi$ Scott, Nic Nac, Dev Hynes, and Young Thug - as collaborators.

You might have already heard that last one - Party Favors - now Tinashe's given us another taste of the new album vis a vis the high-energy single Player, feat Chris Brown. It's a radio-friendly, shiny pop/R & B hit that, with Brown's familiar vocals, well and truly proves the young singer's capacity to be a huge commercial commodity. The two have just released a clip to accompany the track, which sees them both turn things up to 11 in a dance-off style showdown, as the two duel in a video game-esque way in a futuristic location. Things get pretty heated, as Breezy takes off his shirt. "Chris Brown is an exceptionally talented entertainer, so I think it was somebody that I was definitely excited to collaborate with," Tinashe told Rap-Up.

Tinashe, who was recently recruited by Nicki Minaj to open up her Pinkprint Tour, was down under earlier this year, taking in a show at Perth Festival. Tinashe's known for her high-energy choreography in her live shows, recently telling Rolling Stone she's driven by the kinds of visuals she saw as a kid: "With like Janet Jackson, that was always so important for me in artists and something that I always loved. I saw, in recent years, just kids not having anybody that was fresh and bringing to the table a really, really well-thought-out and entertaining live show."
