Amos led an influx of confessional female singer-songwriters in the early 1990s and is noteworthy as one of the few modern popular music stars to utilize a piano as her primary instrument. She is known for lyrically opaque but emotionally intense songs that tackle a wide range of subjects, including sexuality, religion, patriarchy and personal tragedy. Some of her best-known songs include ?Crucify,? ?Silent All These Years,? ?Me and a Gun,? ?Cornflake Girl,? "A Sorta Fairytale," ?Professional Widow? and ?Spark.?
