It's true that Neko has been blessed with an amazing voice, but this is not her sole talent by any means. Her songwriting
is yet another important aspect of her powerful appeal. Her lyrics are dark and somewhat abstract or dreamlike in their
construction, but seem informed by her difficult early years and living with emotionally distant and indifferent parents.
Her subjects aren't always so clear on BLACKLISTED as they would be on later albums, but you can definitely feel the chill
and sense her pain. Yet her melodies almost seem like mantras to ward off the demons that try to pursue her. This is the
album that made a believer of me.
