Bouncin’ singe/video by Tinashe.  A single release from the forthcoming album 333, Tinashe combines welcoming friendliness with hard pop twerking al la Cardi B. The rap is smart, the dancing in the video is world-class,  while the sensuality is tongue-in-cheek.  A brilliant piece of songwriting, music, and production that is so much fun.
