Reverie is the second mixtape by American recording artist Tinashe, first released September 6, 2012 via her official website.
The album's title track was used during a scene of the American television program Love & Hip Hop.
[6] Throughout the recording of the mixtape, Reverie was self-composed, engineered, and mastered entirely in Tinashe's bedroom - much like her previous work.
I notice that as the presidential election in the United States draws ever nearer, people become tremendously caught up in the Hollywood drama of it all — and automatically take on, without much consideration, all of the views and the opinions of "the right or the left".

[7]Reviews for Reverie were generally positive, with the comments on popular mixtape site DatPiff being positive,[8] as well as receiving promotional space on the main page of DatPiff and peaking at number five on the most downloaded chart upon the first day of its release[9] and drawing comparisons to Aaliyah via fans on social networking site Twitter.
"[18] Soul Culture gave the mixtape a positive review, saying "In addition to the beautifully enchanting (and at times haunting) vocals and production that made In Case We Die so appealing, the artist also introduces some new elements and influences to the gumbo that is her soundscape giving us another outstanding audio experience.
