\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div> \n\tThroughout, Amos grapples with her legacy through the relationship her heroine has with her long-lost daughter, who\u2019s portrayed on cuts like the conflicted \u201cVeins,\u201d the mournful \u201cStrawberry Moon,\u201d and the gently buoyant \u201cStronger Together\u201d by Amos\u2019 actual daughter, Natashya Hawley. (Hawley, 25, also co-wrote these tracks.) The two voices braid together tentatively at first, with Amos offering apologia on \u201cVeins\u201d while Hawley replies with love and compassion; on \u201cStronger Together,\u201d which is near the album\u2019s close, they realize their collective strength.<\/p>\n \n\tAt the album\u2019s outset, Amos\u2019 heroine is anxious about her circumstances turning her into \u201cthis half-dragon, half-woman thing,\u201d as she puts it on the hymnlike closer \u201c23 Peaks.\u201d By the end, she\u2019s learned to live with her scars, using them as a power source even though it might cause pain. It\u2019s an apt metaphor for Amos\u2019 career, and the ways she\u2019s blended the confessional and the mystical to often stunning effect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
