A sizzling Tinashe temps us on Halloween night

On Halloween night, The Ritz in Raleigh, NC transformed into a haunting celebration for Tinashe’s “Match My Freak World Tour,” with Raveena as the opening act. Known for her ethereal vibe, Raveena, an Indian-American singer from Queens, NY, set the stage with her soulful voice and delicate instrumentals, wearing playful bunny ears in the spirit of Halloween. Her setlist drew from her catalog, including her debut album, Lucid, and her recent 2022 release, Asha’s Awakening, inspired by Indian heritage and cosmic storytelling. She offered a mix of soft ballads and groovy tracks, accompanied by a minimalist setup, enhancing the intimate experience. Raveena’s official site, raveenaaurora.com, provides more on her journey and new releases.

The main event was Tinashe’s electrifying performance, clad as a “sexy devil,” commanding the stage with an energetic setlist that brought together past hits and fresh tracks from her upcoming album, Quantum Baby, slated for release this fall. Hailing from Lexington, KY, Tinashe returned to the tour circuit after a brief hiatus, having last toured in 2021. The Match My Freak tour, which kicked off on October 14 in Anaheim, CA, will take her through 23 North American cities before concluding in Sacramento on November 25. Her tightly choreographed dance routines, combined with sultry vocals, had the audience mesmerized.

Beyond the music, both artists had curated merchandise stands with unique items for their fans. Raveena’s booth showcased her dreamy, celestial-themed apparel, while Tinashe offered edgy “freak” tour gear reflecting her bold aesthetic. Tinashe’s official site, tinashenow.com, allows fans to explore her latest music and tour merchandise. This Halloween concert was a bold, immersive experience, leaving fans captivated by the hauntingly powerful performances and visual storytelling that lingered long after the final beat.
