Goldenheart is like a modern-day Joan of Arc. Think of it like medieval times-cum-2045 or Lancelot and Guinevere in 3025.
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 09:19 (eleven years ago) link
86 is lovely. Kind of love how explicit her love for Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel are. And that between he and Wynter Gordon's Stimela that R&B is where their influence is most strongly felt in 2012.

Damn, lex, that's a terrific interview. The best part is you can tell she was unaccustomed to being confronted by a reporter who knows and loves her music to such an extent.
