Two names that you need to keep your guards on: Conor Maynard and Tinashe.
Artists nowadays bank on their debut singles. It is a matter of make or break. A sole chance into setting who they are and what they can offer to the booming and overflowing industry that is music.
If an artists placed a mixed of both good and bad reviews on their first major release, it’s a good sign that he or she is here to stay longer.
Pure raves are to be doubted as this can project a diva syndrome or the one-hit wonder stigma that they are veering away to.
Rants, on the other hand, might be good publicity, but you’re only a star for a shorter period of time. Adios is definitely lying on the outskirts of your growing career.
But how are we liking and hating Conor Maynard and Tinashe as of this writing? Are they here to stay?

FIRST DISCOGRAPHY
Released on October 3, 2014, Aquarius is Tinashe’s first major solo album. Smartly, the record label who handled Tinashe and her first album picked the name Aquarius as this was Tinashe’s zodiac sign.

Metacritic rated Aquarius with a 80/100 rating. AllMusic and Billboard gave it a 4 out of 5 stars. Rolling Stone and Los Angeles graded it as a 3.5 out of 5 stars kind of album.

Pharell Williams, Stargate and Benny Blanco are just some of the producers who contributed to Conor Maynard’s debut album.
Appearances from American recording artists such as Ne-Yo and Rita Ora can also be boasted as one of the album’s various strengths.
The albums’ lead song Can’t Say No entered the UK Singles Chart at the second spot. The other single joining Can’t Say No as this album’s flagship is Vegas Girl which entered the same record charts at number 4.
BBC Music and Contact Music gave the album a Positive rating. AllMusic placed Contrast at the 3.5 out of 5 stars list and Metacritic ending their share with 67/100 grade.
