Rationale, the artistic identity of Zimbabwe-born British singer-songwriter and producer Tinashe Fazakerley, is well-known for his poignant blend of soulful indie and alternative-pop music that is suffused with deeply personal lyricism and emotive vocal delivery. After first attracting attention with his self-released debut single "Fast Lane" in 2015, Rationale went on to refine his sound; a rich amalgamation of his African heritage with the gritty grooves of London's eclectic music scene. His distinctive voice and thoughtful songwriting quickly earned him a devoted fanbase and a reputation as a standout artist in the UK's contemporary music landscape.

Rationale's discography showcases his evolution as a musician and his inclination towards introspective themes. With releases like "If The Problems Persist" and "Incentive," he explores the complexities of human emotion and the challenges of personal growth, all while delivering an aural experience that balances authenticity with polished production. The raw, stripped-back versions found in "Confines Acoustic" offer a stark contrast to the fully produced "Confines," allowing listeners to experience his vulnerability and craftsmanship in different sonic textures. "A Shift in My Beliefs," "Caution & Pressure," and "You Are Flawed, but You'll Be Fine" further solidify Rationale's standing as an artist capable of distilling life's trials and tribulations into art that resonates with a universal audience. His narratives are both intimate and relatable, ensuring that each track is not only heard but felt.
