She came onto the music scene with the releases of 'EP1' in 2012 and 'EP2' in 2013. She then released her debut album, 'LP1' in 2014, this received good reviews in general and gained her notable commercial success.
The five track EP opens with the track, 'Figure 8', it has a very striking beat that's very fragmented. Her vocals work well with this beat, adding a softer elements. Around half way through the track there's a deeper, rather illegible voice that marks a change as it descends into a kind of organised chaos.
The second track on the album is 'I'm Your Doll', the production on this track isn't as strong as the previous but the balance is very delicate and poignant. It then goes into the track 'In Time', this has a faster pace than the previous track and has a whomping instrumental that's very hip hop inspired. The vocals are also have a much faster pace, but they still feel very gentle against the heavier beat.
The last two tracks on the EP are 'Glass & Patron' and 'Mothercreep'. The prior has quite a bizarre sound to it, but it works in the context of the album. The latter is quite creepy as the title suggests with large searching gaps where the sound drains away, it also features high pitched backing vocals that add to its eerie sound. This EP is very good in general, it's well produced and her lyrics are strong. All the tracks are very hip hop based, and flow well together as they keep a similar production and vocal theme. This EP makes me intrigued to hear what she has in stall for us on her next album.
