15	!!Her Music Provides the Following Tropes:
16	* EroticEating: At least, metaphorically in "Brown Skin", with the line "It makes me wanna Hershey's Kiss your licorice".
17	* FollowYourHeart She tends to have at least one song like this one her album.
18	* IAmSong:
19	** Her songs "Video" and "I Am Not My Hair", both about subverting beauty norms.
20	** The latter was really written to cheer up a [[BaldnessMeansSickness bald woman (Robin Roberts) getting cancer treatment]].
21	* IntercourseWithYou: Not common in her songs, but "Brown Skin" includes the strongly visual line, "I can't tell where yours begins, I can't tell where mine ends"
22	** And lest we forget, "It makes me wanna Hershey's Kiss your licorice". She must have been horny as all hell when she wrote this.
23	* ItRunsInTheFamily: singing talent.
24	* ReincarnationRomance: "The Truth" implies this.
