In Case We Die

In Case We Die is the debut mixtape by singer-songwriter Tinashe. The mixtape was self-released on the singer’s official website on February 1, 2012. The album was supported by five promo singles: “My High”, “Boss”, “This Feeling”, “Let You Love Me” and “Chainless”.
== Background and Promotion ==
The mixtape was released following a four-year stint as lead singer of girl group, The Stunners and her array of non-album singles, including a collaboration with producers OFM, "Artificial People", in 2011. After being approached by pop-singer/songwriter Colleen "Vitamin C" Fitzpatrick (in 2007), Tinashe joined the all-girl pop group The Stunners as the lead singer. After a four-year run, including opening for Justin Bieber on his My World Tour, the group disbanded in 2011. After being signed to Columbia/Sony and Universal Republic with The Stunners, Tinashe began to independently release several solo singles such as covers of Lil Wayne's hit single "How to Love" and Rihanna's "We Found Love", and the dance/club song "Artificial People" (a collaboration with production duo OFM). On December 20, 2011, Tinashe announced that she would be releasing a mixtape entitled In Case We Die in 2012. A promo single from the mixtape entitled "Chainless" was released to iTunes the next day. Tinashe clarified on Twitter that "Chainless" was a "fun, character [song], dedicated to the west", rather than an official single from the mixtape, on which it was later called a 'bonus track'. The music video was released at midnight on December 21. It was directed by Bobby Brackins and Nic Nac, being the first video that Tinashe had not directed herself. On January 30, 2012, Tinashe revealed that the first official single from the mixtape would be "My High" and was released for streaming on her official website. A video was shot in early 2012, but never released. Tinashe re-shot the video the first week of June. The second single was later announced as "This Feeling" with a music video directed by Cole Walliser shot in March. The music video was released on May 1, 2012 to GlobalGrind.com. In an interview with Rosewood Radio on May 15, Tinashe confirmed that the video for "This Feeling" would be sent to BET's 106 and Park for play. She also confirmed the next single from the mixtape as "Boss".
