One of my favorite vocalists, and my primary reference for practicing vibrato and scoops

This one circled back around to me later in life after I'd been listening to Tricky, Massive Attack, etc. for a while and that's when it properly 'clicked' as I was finally holding the right keys to understand it. When I was 16 and heard it / watched it for the first time I found it interesting but I really didn't see the context or what went into it. Now, I'll probably sound crazy for saying it, she's the closest thing to 'trip hop' that we had and I'd put this on par, in terms of genius for age, that I'd give Nas for Illmatic or Prodigy and Havoc (Mobb Deep) for The Infamous and it seems evident they're all f'ing old souls to be able to break it down like that in their teens.
