My Take

Patty Smyth fascinates me as a product of a vanished era. Fronting Scandal and later going solo, she built her name on a voice and an image beamed through MTV at a time when an artist had nothing but talent and nerve to win an audience. There were no algorithms to chase, no follower counts to game, just that husky, commanding delivery cutting through cable static. I respect singers who made it on raw sound alone, and she clearly did. A 1957 New Yorker with grit, she represents the kind of authentic new wave craft I keep rooting for.
