Where So Many Songwriters Stretch For Their Highest Notes Hoping To Impress And Astound Duvekot Bravely Mines Her Deep Reaches Where The Dark Feelings Lurk. It Softens Her Phrasing Leading Us In With Whispers Letting Us Know She Believes Every Word She Sings. Her Melodies Seem Like Suddenly Occurring Thoughts Matching The Hushed Conversational Allure Of Her Singing. They Feel So Immediate So In Synch With Her Lyrics And Yet Also Snugly Rooted Oddly Familiar Like Memories You Can't Quite Recall. She Sings And Writes As If She Thinks Songs Are Important Not Means To An End But Tools Of Survival. And For Her That's Just What They Are.
