My Take
Lisa Coleman is the sort of musician I instinctively trust. As a keyboardist in Prince's Revolution from 1980 to 1986, she helped shape some of the most beloved sounds in pop, then built a distinct voice with Wendy Melvoin in Wendy & Lisa. What draws me to her is her craftsmanship: she is a foundation-layer, not a spotlight-chaser, the player who quietly makes everyone else sound better. Her later move into film scoring feels like a natural extension of that sensibility. I value artists who prioritize the song over their own visibility, and Coleman embodies that ethic beautifully.
