Ebert Saw Tinashe's Star in Dylan Flop
3 Oct
Summary
- Roger Ebert praised Tinashe's performance in a poorly received Bob Dylan film.
- Ebert noted Tinashe's singing as the only redeeming quality of the movie.
- Tinashe's recent album 'Popstar' has become a celebrated release.
In a prescient review of Bob Dylan's 2003 film "Masked and Anonymous," Roger Ebert singled out a young Tinashe Kachingwe for her exceptional performance. Ebert, who otherwise harshly criticized the "vanity production" and its "incoherent" screenplay, lauded Tinashe's rendition of "The Times They Are A-Changin'" as a masterclass.
Despite a star-studded cast, Tinashe's performance was the only aspect Ebert found praiseworthy, even suggesting "more Tinashe Kachingwe" would have improved the film. Two decades after Ebert's astute observation, Tinashe has achieved widespread recognition.
Her eighth studio album, "Popstar," released on September 25th, has quickly become one of the year's most celebrated pop releases. The album's singles, including "Too Easy," "Crash Out," "Melatonin," and "Pillow Fight," have achieved significant popularity.
Tinashe herself has embraced her arrival, stating she aimed to create a confident and bold record. The album title, "Popstar," signifies her claiming her space in the music industry, a confidence that has generated substantial conversation and some added pressure.
