The Ink-Operation of N: Review

From The Editor

Dear Reader,

A play on the idea of an incorporation - a brainchild, a business, a brand as well as my operation of ink (figuratively of course), as I am most passionate about writing, this blog serves to provide my opinion and insights on current events in the media.

"Writers always say, 'I always knew I wanted to be a writer; when I was a three-month-old foetus a pen formed in my hand and I began to scratch my first story on the inside of my mother's womb.' I started later, in my early twenties."

- Harlan Coben

That being said, my name is Naledi Sibisi, who in her early twenties, has grown comfortable with the idea that the pen is indeed her portion. For an unspecified period of time, I wish to take you on a journey as I welcome you to The Ink-Operation of N.

Justin Case You Were Wondering

Boy did he test our patience. But boy, is he rewarding us for the wait. - Mesfin Fekadu (2013)

I know this album dropped over a week ago, but I wanted to give it a fair critique away from the Justin Timberlake just released his first album since 2006 hype.

The 20/20 Experience features the classical JT whom some of us have grown to love for putting together a consistent piece of work because let's face it, we are currently in an era where artists are focused on releasing catchy singles as though we wouldn't appreciate a good album from the first to last track - without having to visit the skip button. It makes sense that this is the case because the neo-soul sounding album was largely inspired by 1960s and 1970s music with extended song structures.
