King mixed up various styles on the songs on her EP, from a defiant growl to mournful to lascivious. She doesn't believe that "people listen to albums as a kind of whole, cohesive record anymore, anyway." She thinks that "the one thing that ties through all my different sounds is my voice, and I think we're all just trying to figure out how to tie everything around that."[5]
