Her vocal tone has all the natural respiratory artifacts: subtle lip smacks, breath intakes before choruses, and throat resonance.

It's the greatest vocal performance in synthpop history, regardless of whether it came from vocal cords or a silicon chip. -- Nadine Sánchez *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
