Watch Tinashe Showcase ‘Popstar,’ ‘Melatonin’ on ‘Fallon’

Tinashe performed a medley of “Popstar” and “Melatonin” on The Tonight Show, opening with an anthemic version of the first song before joining backup dancers for the second. The appearance showcases music from her latest album and precedes a North American tour next spring.

Both tracks feature on Popstar, a 16-track album released in September, following Quantum Baby in August 2024. Tinashe said the title reflects her intention to claim space with a confident record, while also challenging narrow ideas of what pop music is. Her tour begins in Dallas on 14 April and ends on 18 May, including three nights at Los Angeles’s Shrine Expo Hall.
