Pillow Talk by Tink

Since her debut at the age of 16, Tink hasn’t been one to shy away from singing songs about love, heartbreak, and everything in between. A little more than a decade later, the singer-songwriter shows the world her grown and sexy side with *Pillow Talk*, the follow-up to 2021’s *Heat of the Moment*. Throughout *Pillow Talk*, Tink showcases a slower and sultrier vibe as she discusses experiences that she’s been through while growing into womanhood: “I guess that dick got me goofy/Halfway past stupid/I’m so fuckin’ ruined/And it ain’t nothin’ I’m doing about it,” she croons on “Goofy.” “Cater,” which features 2Chainz and includes a sample from Destiny’s Child’s 2004 hit “Cater 2 U,” strikes a softer, more sensitive side to the singer as she revels in fulfilling her partner’s needs. While on the Muni Long duet “Mine,” which borrows from Brandy & Monica’s 1998 classic, “The Boy Is Mine,” Tink displays raw honesty while going back and forth with the singer over her two-timing lover. “Let me fill you in on who I am/Since you got eyes for my boyfriend/I’m the girl takin’ care of home/You can leave me and mine alone,” she declares.
