Heat of the Moment

On what's considered the follow-up to Hopeless Romantic, Tink continues to detail with candid and assured flair her feelings of betrayal, lust, and temptation. Despite working extensively with Hitmaka among a large crew of producers that is completely different from that of Hopeless Romantic, Heat of the Moment feels like a seamless continuation with refinements. The scattered tracks with featured appearances, including a reunion with Jeremih that generates less heat than "Don't Tell Nobody," are liable to get the most attention. On her own, however, Tink has more to offer, especially in lighter slow jams such as "Dangerous" and "FMB." In particular, the Tyrese-sampling "Dangerous," about an aloof and mercurial lover she can't quite resist, is among her best as a writer and vocalist. ~ Andy Kellman
