SAN FRANCISCO — Tinashe brought her 333 Tour to the Warfield Tuesday. The R&B and pop artist kicked off her show with “I Can See The Future,” “X” and “Small Reminders.

The stage production featured three tall platforms for dancers to flank the 28-year-old, who showed off some sultry dance moves of her own on numbers like “Cold Sweat,” “Soul Glitch” and “Touch & Go.” Her band at underneath the platforms, taking full advantage of the space. 

On single “Throw a Fit,” Tinashe threw the crowd into a frenzy and had attendees grooving along to the tenacious beat.

The wondrous multitude of artistry displayed by Tinashe kept eyes glued to the stage as commanded absolute attention.

Switching up to more hip-hop-driven songs like “Link Up,” “Rascal (Superstar)” and “So Much Better,” the Kentuckian showed off her mastery of genre with lyrical ease. 

Like “Link Up,” there were several songs from her previous album, 2019’s Songs for You.

For the duration of her show it was evident that Tinashe is heavily influenced by the classic R&B and pop, from her stage outfits to the way she delivered her lines. This style recalled artist like Janet Jackson, one of her idols.

Breakout hit “2 On” seemed to instantly cause a joyous commotion. That was quickly followed by an outstanding guitar part on “All Hands on Deck.” “The Chase,” which Tinashe said was one of her favorite from August’s 333, her fifth album, came next. That was followed by “Save Room for Us.” 

“Bouncin’,” meanwhile, featured literally bouncing and dancing on a mini-trampoline. 

Opener REI AMI brought high energy right out of the gate, performing several songs from her debut mixtape, FOIL. It was difficult to stay still during the leg-tapping song “Ricky Bobby.” The artist, whose name is Sarah Lee, followed that up with “EVERYBODY ELSE,” “REI AMI” and “DICTATOR. It was an impressive outing, considering that later in the show she’d go on to say that the was her first ever tour.

A slow R&B jam accompanied with a smooth hi-hat, “Saturn emoji” gave off a false sense of safety until some radio fuzz changed it into a hip-hop banger on which REI AMI showed off her rap skills. She concluded with “SNOWCONE,” which started off powerfully before concluding like a mellow bedroom pop tune.
