Hip-hop phenomenon TiaCorine pulls us back into her kaleidoscopic, genre-blurring world with “Different Color Stones,” a smooth, melody-blessed celebration of self-love, that’s out now via Interscope Records.

““Different Colored Stones is my first single since my ep… I’ve been recording so much recently... working on my album but I wanted to give my fans something while I’m still working,” said TiaCorine, “It was hard to choose which song but my daughter and my team all said this one was their favorite so I’m trying a new thing where I don’t overthink and trust other people opinions so here we are.”

“Different Color Stones” comes with a Moshpit directed video. It finds Tia flaunting through the streets of Brooklyn. Watch the video HERE. Produced by Pooh Beatz, Ambezza, Fizzle, and JULiA LEWiS, “Different Colored Stones” kicks off with pretty synth notes and an 808-boosted groove. Busy hi-hats, guitar strums, and swirling atmosphere complete the soundscape, but TiaCorine’s voice is the most powerful instrument. She moves from low-key bars to high and harmonious coos, and staccato shouts to melodic fast rap.

“Different Color Stones” most recently follows TiaCorine’s braggadocious appearance alongside A$AP Ferg on Denzel Curry’s summer single “HOT ONE,” not to mention the scorching hot music video for her own track “Shamone” — watch HERE — which hails from Almost There. The EP also includes the booming standout track and video “Yung Joc” featuring Luh Tyler, which reeled in millions of streams and counting.

Following the EP release, Rolling Stone spoke to TiaCorine for an in-depth interview, and The FADER applauded how Almost There “highlights just how far her chameleonic versatility can stretch,” while HotNewHipHop called the set “a compelling snapshot of TiaCorine’s current artistic state.” In March, she launched her debut headline tour hitting New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, her home state of North Carolina, and more.
