If You Like... Lingua

Formed in the late '90s, Lingua personifies how a talented vocal trio can add up to a divine, harmonising sum greater than its already compelling parts. The group's R&B-inflected pop crooning and sweet, honeyed vocals are matched by the sincere, emotional ballads of contemporaries like Kahitna and Tohpati. Meanwhile, their lasting influence echoes in the jazz-inflected balladeers Afgan and Andien.
