| Purpose of use |
Used in the Janet Jackson article as an example of a critical understanding of Jackson's musical style, via analysis of the song's production and rhythmic arrangement – elements which cannot be reasonably expected to be conveyed adequately by prose. Song has additional relevance as a work central to Jackson’s success and as piece for which Jackson has received significant recognition for her socially conscious lyrics. "Black Cat" has distinction as the only song from her catalog on which she is the sole composer; it is also the only exclusively rock based song in her catalog, a notable departure from her contemporary R&B sound. |
