With its DJ Mustard beat and its Schoolboy Q guest verse, "2 On," the new single from the Los Angeles R&B singer Tinashe, is a song that aims for Tumblr cool and down-the-middle pop appeal at the same damn time. Similarly, the song's new video, recreates some of the tropes of the late-'90s/early-'00s teenpop/R&B crossover era, but it does it within quotes. The backlit scenes, in particular, feel like tributes to Aaliyah. Watch it below.
