JOANNA NEWSOM

Joanna Newsom is a harpist and an indie singer-songwriter who has an extremely unique musical style and voice.​  Her songs often explore complex themes about power and love and frequently make historical, cultural, and literary allusions. This project is an attempt to analyze three of her songs, "Colleen", "Monkey and Bear", and "Divers" using motifs that are associated with her commentaries on sex, power, and gender.
