Tinashe Croons, Cranks That During ‘Popstar/Melatonin’ Medley on ‘The Tonight Show’: Watch
Tinashe performed a medley of “Popstar” and “Melatonin” on The Tonight Show, shifting from a restrained, star-themed opening to a high-energy dance-club finale. The performance highlighted the contrast between the two tracks and gave songs from her latest album a prominent television showcase.
She began in a long white coat amid flashing lights and sunburst visuals, singing the title track. About 90 seconds later, dancers removed the coat and prepared her for “Melatonin”; after a brief blackout, she returned in a black studded outfit as six dancers joined her against packed-club imagery. Her album Popstar debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 in September, her highest position on the chart and first top 10.
