Tink‘s new album, Thanks 4 Nothing, offers up a collection of songs that are as full of life, plain-speaking honesty, and raw vulnerability as the singer herself. The Chicago-bred singer has always been a singular artist who refused to be boxed into any one category or style of music in her previous offerings, and Thanks 4 Nothing is no exception. While there’s a slow-simmering, late-night energy that permeates the entire record, Tink still finds ways to make sure that each track is an exploration of unique moments and emotions that are all tied together by her silvery-toned soprano and candid lyrics. The record is an immersive listening experience that brings a solid dose of boundary-pushing boldness to the slow-jam arena and doesn’t let up until the final track.
Highlights on the album include a slow-stepping gem called “Save Your Soul” where our girl frankly lays out the rules for being in a relationship with her – making it very plain that one wrong move will cost you her heart; the previously released “Toxic,” in which Tink explains how her messy relationship habits have led to her attracting equally messy partners; the confessional “Streets Ain’t For Me“ where the R&B starlet lets her man know that the strength of their love has convinced her to hang up her jersey and quit playing the field; and “Let Down My Guard” where Tink and Ty Dolla $ign ask one another a string of questions to feel out whether or not they should lay it all on the line and take their relationship to the next level.
In the end, Tink is a musician who knows what she wants to do and does it with an unrivaled mixture of confidence and vulnerability. She’s not afraid to use her voice as a form of power, but she’s also not afraid to use it as a form of expression that can reveal fragility. Tink is a powerful and unique voice in the world of music, and Thanks 4 Nothing is a straight-talking and satisfying example of what she’s capable of. Her savvy songwriting combined with her vocal talent makes for a record that will leave you feeling like you’ve binged watched an entire season of an unapologetically black TV show and loved every minute of it.
