<p>If you&#8217;ve been wondering where Chicago artist #Tink has been for the past few months, then look no further! She&#8217;s back to the grind as she&#8217;s recently been freed from a deal with superstar producer #Timbaland who she says is responsible for her debut album not being released.</p>
<p>“I had dedicated so much time, and we had put in a lot of work together, me and [Timbaland]. We had an album done, but that whole process was just very shocking to me,&#8221; Tink tells THE FADER. &#8220;Going into something and having such high expectations for it, then having to refocus and reprocess everything. I had to really just dig deep and find out what I wanted to say next.”</p>
<p>Tink&#8217;s debut album &#8220;Think Tink&#8221; was produced by Timbaland and was actually done back in 2015, however, he continually decided to delay the project. “The album was actually finished. There was an intro, I had interludes.” Tink said. “It was [Timbaland’s] call to hold back on it, and I think, I want to say, for the benefit of the doubt, he did want to perfect it. But it was Tim&#8217;s call not to put it out.”</p>
<p>Later on in her interview, Tink shares her insight into what she calls &#8220;male-dominated offices&#8221; and how they make it harder for women to succeed</p>
<p>&#8220;Being a woman you have to fight a whole lot harder for what you want,” she said. “It&#8217;s unfortunate. There’s nothing you can tell me that makes that make sense. I just know how it is, dealing with these execs, these male-dominated offices. We&#8217;re made to feel like we&#8217;re less than, or as if we’re not taking it as serious as some of the other guys. It&#8217;s really just egos. That&#8217;s it — it&#8217;s nothing more than egos.”</p>
<p>Tink is currently working on Winter&#8217;s Diary 5!</p>
