OK I don't know why my incredibly length comment doesn't show up when you click the story from the homepage (but does when you click from the Urban Desi Page)? *If it shows up later I'm sorry, but I'm just making sure what I wrote actually gets posted* I like Tina’s music primarily because it’s Desi (with English lyrics since it’s probably her first language and what she’s most comfortable with) with more Rock/Alternative as opposed to the more known Urban Desi sounds that use R&B, HipHop and/or Rap. It’s just something different and it sticks out in my music selection. My hypothesis is that we haven’t seen so much of her because she’s tied down to a label but things are harder to advance/negotiate with since she is every aspect of her music (singer, writer, musician etc.) While being signed is a huge achievement I don’t feel it’s really worth it unless you can establish the you are an accomplished artist(or group) by yourself and are not dependent on the namesake of a label. I agree with Neil-- the internet is a fantastic “do-it-yourself” platform especially for rising/non-mainstream artists. As for her "image": who cares? Her music is good, and as far as I know she’s not in the modeling industry. Plus she isn’t being offensive to anyone (at least that I’m aware of) so I don’t see it as a problem.
