English term or phrase: to have a Chick thing down
Natalie Imbruglia has her late-'90s Pop Chick thing down.
¿Qué tal "N.I. ha perdido el plumón del pop de los 90"? (en el sentido de madurez artística) ¡Socorro!
Carmen Barrero (X)
Spanish translation:no, see explanation
Explanation:
"to have something down" o "down pat" es cuando uno sabe hacer algo muy bien, como experto. Sinonimo podria ser "to have something figured out" or "to have mastered something"

I have this translation thing down. I have this translation thing figured out. (Ya sé cómo funciona la traducción)

NI ha dominado su imagen de Chica del pop de los 90.

Tal vez otros tiene mejor sugerencia para la traducción, pero no es que ella se ha madurado en la musica.
