Chicago native Tink released her third studio album Pillow Talk at midnight on August 19, 2022, and social media can’t get enough!

Trinity Laure’Ale Home was born on March 18, 1995 and is better known by her stage name Tink. Tink is a rapper, singer and songwriter from Chicago, Illinois. She is best known for the single “Treat Me Like Somebody” and for the collaboration with singer and producer Jeremih on “Don’t Tell Nobody”.

Since 2012, she has released seven mixtapes and has gone independent due to label issues regarding the release of her debut album, Think Tink. Her 2014 mixtape, Winter’s Diary 2: Forever Yours, was featured as a top 10 R&B album in both Rolling Stone and Billboard magazines.

Tink was also chosen as part of the XXL 2015 Freshman Class.

Tink began having “label issues” when her debut studio album Think Tink had been scheduled to be released in 2015. Legendary producer Timbaland made headlines in 2015 by indicating at SXSW that Aaliyah had appeared to him and described Tink as “the one.” Tink would later perform an unreleased track that samples Aaliyah’s “One in a Million“. In April 2015, the unreleased track, now entitled “Million”, was released.

Epic scheduled a July 2015 release for Think Tink but Timbaland decided to delay the project. “The album was actually finished. There was an intro, I had interludes.” Tink told the FADER in February of 2018. “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’s call not to put it out.” Frustrated by Mosley and Epic’s resistance to letting her share new material with her fans, Tink returned to the formula that had initially earned her a loyal following and released her third mixtape in the Winter’s Diary series called Winter’s Diary 3 which featured one of her most famous songs to date named “I Like”.

In 2016, Tink released several tracks throughout the beginning of the year and dropped her seventh mixtape named Winter’s Diary 4. The mixtape was mentioned on Rolling Stone’s “40 Best Rap Albums of 2016” and ended up on number 20.

In 2017, Tink released few songs and had a six month long social media break, the reason for which would later become clear. In a February 2017 interview, Tink told DJ Vlad that she hadn’t spoken to Timbaland in three months and said that the ball was still in his court when it came to releasing Think Tink. That spring, she began to seek a permanent solution that would get her out of her contract with Mosley, eventually reaching an agreement with the label at the end of the year with the rights to her unreleased music. Tink is now an independent artist. She does not have any interest in releasing any of her songs with Timbaland as she wants to start from scratch.

Pillow Talk is Executive produced by Hitmaka, as the two are rumored to be dating. They were recently on Angela Ye‘s podcast Lip Service were they both denied rumors of dating each other, and only working on music.
