There's Cat Power songs in the Top 100 2020 too!

One of the few popular musicians that I continue to listen to is Cat Power. While last year saw a spike in Cat Power songs in the Top 100—a new album, Wanderer, was released—this year's contributions are less numerous but still significant. The song Wanderer was #1 last year, and currently standing at #12, it is the highest of three of her songs in this year's list. The other two are In Your Face also from the 2018 album Wanderer, and her best known song Good Woman returns as well. The latter is from her 2002 release You Are Free. The above drawing I started last week but initially it didn't click, so I started a new one from the same photograph by Christian Lantry. Both of these drawings I continued to work on with just a single pencil for several days until both satisfied me as a representation of Cat Power. The second one then is here to represent In Your Face in the Top 100 2020.
