This song is part of our “THE SUMMER 97 (1998 x 2023)” playlist. Check out the full list.
In a musical landscape littered with relentless singles that are barely two minutes long, it’s the artists who take their time that serve up the best time. On her new single “Talk to Me Nice,” the ever-versatile Tinashe continues to impress by keeping things fresh. The fact that the song clocks in at nearly 4 minutes sets it apart, but also the sensual, slickly produced mid-tempo love song is not just a mood, it’s many. Bouncin’ from chorus to verse to bridge like movements of a symphony, Tinashe reminds us she can ride any vibe. She’s always nice.

In celebration of summer, the staff at THE 97 has compiled a playlist containing some of our favorite summer songs, from then and now. Each day we will reveal one song, rotating daily between past and present with pairings from 1998 and 2023, for a total of 97 days/songs. Since we love nostalgia, we’re celebrating summer songs from 1998 as they turn 25, alongside new songs that we feel deserve some shine. Pairings could be thematic, sonic, or based connections between the artists.
