Songs With Words
“Janet’s songs are so unique because they exist in a singular logic that eschews normal melodies, song structures and sounds. Even when she performs a cover, such as “Blowin’ in the Wind”, or steals a few verses from Nirvana’s “Come As You Are” on “Plan to Live,” you’ll be hard-pressed to identify it until you hear those familiar lyrics. The melodies, keys and tempos come from her and her alone.” -Marc Phillip
