Reverie is the second mixtape by American recording artist Tinashe, first released September 6, 2012 via her official website. The mixtape was released after the release of her debut mixtape In Case We Die which came after a four-year stint as lead singer of dance-pop group The Stunners and her array of non-album singles, including a collaboration with producers OFM, "Artificial People", in 2011.
As executive producer, Tinashe enlisted a variety of musical producers to work with her on the mixtape, including Wes Tarte, Lamar Weathersby (formerly BMarz), Nez & Rio, Best Kept Secret, B. Hendrixx, Troobadore, Yektro K-BeatZ, Daughter, XXYYXX, Roc & Mayne, JRB The Producer, besides being executive producer of the mixtape Tinashe also wrote all of the mixtape's songs. Musically, Reverie doesn't stray far from the same PBR&B and alternative hip hop sound that In Case We Die included, the mixtape also touches on several new genres such as electronica, glitch hop, indie pop, post-dubstep and alternative rock.
