333 is the fifth studio album by American singer Tinashe. It was released independently through her own label, Tinashe Music Inc., on August 6, 2021. Largely self-produced and written by Tinashe, the album was primarily recorded independently following her departure from RCA Records in 2019. 333 also features collaborations with artists including Buddy, Kaytranada, Wax Motif, Jeremih, Kaash Paige, Quiet Child, and Kudazi.
333 is a pop and R&B album that also includes electro-pop and house. Thematically, the album explores independence, self-empowerment, love, and emotional vulnerability. Its title references the angel number "333", which signifies guidance and optimism, while the cover art depicts a sci-fi-inspired image of Tinashe with three eyes amid tranquil scenery.
The album was promoted with overall four singles, "Pasadena", "Bouncin'", "X", and "Naturally". Promotion for the album included the 333 Tour as well as a deluxe edition with additional tracks. 333 received critical acclaim, with reviewers praising its cohesive production, Tinashe's versatile vocals, and genre-spanning approach.
