Singer/Songwriter Danielle Lubene has a lovely voice and finds interesting and inventive ways to convey it. From the light rock of "Temptation" to the haunting folk of "April Fool" and the power alt groove on "My Henry Miller", her voice morphs from passionate lilts to tortured angst with singular ease and grace. Add into this her thought provoking lyrics and you have a young lady from Allentown, Pennsylvania that has something special going.

Punk ethic? Hmmm. Might be, and even when she's being mellow there's some of that ethic present, as she generally keeps things minimal and lets her voice and the mood of a minor key create the atmosphere. "One Song" has some of that... and that track is the convergence of all her best traits. If she stops now, she's made that song, and that's something, but this is a raw talent just getting going.

"My Henry Miller" has her looking for the perfect partner. The music is up-tempo and punkily giddy. The resemblance to a young Patti Smith is striking. The rocker "Of Purest White" makes the comparison with Patti Smith and PJ Harvey unavoidable. Lubené sings with a heated abandon that is purely her own, though. This is a great debut.

... a uniquely passionate voice... Slink's songs [are] minor-key excursions that wax and wane on the connections between sensuality and spirituality.

CD Release Show at the Funhouse

A packed Funhouse, which included various Lehigh Valley music luminaries, [was] treated to a splendid, invigorating performance by Danielle Lubené and her star studded band that included husband Doug Ashby on guitar, Bill Melcher (possibly the best bassist in the region), Dave Ferrara (Original Sins legend and current member of Herman's Hermits) on drums and Hali Heiser and Kathleen Warren singing background vocals. Danielle played tracks mostly from her new cd and a few older numbers from earlier in her career (before she took a personal hiatus). Now, in 2003, leaving the corporate world behind to totally dedicate herself to rock 'n' roll, Danielle left no doubt this was a wise decision. She belted out numbers full of raw energy and emotion very reminiscent of early Sinead O' Connor and Patti Smith. A highlight at the end of the show was a blistering cover of rockabilly icon Wanda [Jackson's Mean Mean Man]. Danielle left no doubt that she is a force to be reckoned with - not just in the valley, but throughout the country. She means business.

What Slink sounds like is a nice mix of Tori Amos' emotional fire coupled with more than a hearty helping of Patti Smith; namely, folk- rock fused with hard-rock fused with angelic lyrics and vocals.
