She has stated that she "barely [has] any songs that reach two minutes". DeAsia Paige, for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, described her voice as "soft and squeaky" and her beats as "sped-up". Tirhakah Love of The Cut wrote that her songs were sample-heavy and "two-to-three-minute short stories, where she mows over snakes attempting to test her backbone".
