She blends accoustic and electronic sounds, giving both an organic and ethereal tone to her music, built on a genre-defying mix of pop rock, folk, latin and poetry. It is instrumentally characterized by its percussive piano, strong colorful rhythms and sometimes melancholic strings. Serving as a backdrop to the lyrics which voice social and political concerns, karma, love, broken relationships, soul searching and other issues. All these elements enhanced by her singing, which is sultry and gentle at one end and powerful and vicious at the other, evoking a spectrum of emotional responses to the listener. In addition, with her voice she creates multiple layers harmonically intertwined and instrumentally like effects, weaving a spell that mesmerizes.
