Reminiscing after receiving reminders of past days, I discovered a much more apt parallel. It turns out that Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" is the highest ranked song performed and written by a woman on Rolling Stone's 500 greatest songs of all time. Like Harmogu, Tracy can sing a mean cover:
"Stand By Me"
But she is at her best when singing her original, so poetic words, in a voice that is hers and hers alone, not to be compared to anyone else on the planet.
"Talking Bout A Revolution"
Given those incomparables, I am not comparing Harmogu to Tracy Chapman, only suggesting a parallel. The way forward for a unique poetic and musical talent is just to run with it and never look back.
