The Timbaland Era: Record Deal and Promising Rise
In 2014, Tink caught the attention of super-producer Timbaland, who signed her to his Mosley Music Group. Timbaland’s endorsement, as well as collaborations with him, brought Tink considerable buzz. Their joint track, Ratchet Commandments, was widely acclaimed for its catchy beat and bold lyrics. However, despite the high-profile backing, her debut album with Timbaland faced numerous delays, hindering her momentum and leading to eventual frustrations for Tink.
Finding Independence and Artistic Freedom
After parting ways with Timbalan in 2018, Tink returned to her independent roots. This move allowed her to regain creative control, and she went on to release Pain & Pleasure, an EP that showcased her growth and artistic maturity. Without label constraints, Tink re-established her sound and developed a loyal fanbase who resonated with her deeply personal and relatable lyrics.
