...Bristling with sexuality in her skin-tight leather pants, Persson sang with harnessed intensity and a flirtatious half-smile, as if her very appearance were a wicked, illicit joke between her and the audience. For the dark, menacing songs about the hardness of love that she presented, the coy, harsh delivery was like a sucker punch; she could talk about love's cruel ways not because she was the injured lover, but because she was the cruelty of love in the flesh...

...Sameera, don't go!," I beseech her. But it's too late. When she returns, I see a changed woman. Out on the battlefield, it's a harsh, brutal world.
