Gallery: Tinashe serves pop perfection on the Match My Freak World Tour in Phoenix

Those looking to match Tinashe’s freak showed up to The Van Buren in droves this week. Her headlining tour packed the place, turning Phoenix into a club for one night. The R&B superstar was joined by Raveena for a night of dancing.

Pop singer Raveena emerged from the glittering forest she’d built onstage, twirling in her flowing blue dress and mesmerizing the audience with her breathy vocals. Producer and instrumentalist Aaron Liao held down the ethereal music behind her and she drew the audience into her fairytale world. Raveena was charming and humble, smiling widely at the audience throughout the set and getting everyone ready for the main event.

Tinashe headlined The Van Buren on her last tour and this time, she stripped back the production, added dancers and put the music front and center. The stage was set with massive, ever changing LED screens while her cadre of dancers moved sinuously through the choreography on “When I Get You Alone” and “Link Up”.

With her viral success on TikTok recently, Tinashe took this opportunity to show off her huge catalog of music on this tour- adding over 20 songs to her energetic setlist. Some fans in the room certainly found her music in tiny sound clips, but there were plenty of diehards in the room singing along with gusto to “Talk to Me Nice” and “Unconditional”. Tinashe’s set was laidback and yet physically intense with the impressive choreography and synchronization with her backup dancers. After closing things out with “No Broke Boys”, Tinashe returned for a room-shaking performance of her hit single, “Nasty”- and Phoenix certainly did its best to live up to the Match My Freak World Tour.
