I was searching for some good reviews on Newsom's work and stumbled upon this very interesting article on lazy reviewing of her music and on Joanna being recurrently labeled as child-like or fairy but never actually a genius in comparison to male musicians who easily fall into that category because of being men. Check it out when you've got the time, I think it's an excellent piece of writing. And the comments are very interesting, too!
