“While I'm thinking of about 20 summers ago, here's a spiritual descendant of Aaliyah's.

One thing lacking from (duller) pop these days is drama: the sense of really inhabiting a character and expressing a range of emotions. For the first I'm hearing from Tink, she seems to have an innate understanding of that act.”
