Pixie Lott takes the grain and the authority of jazz torch songs and applies them to modern, brassy pop confections. Her voice is deep and soulful with occasional flinty flashes of her London accent, and it is equally comfortable rousing a party or castigating a crummy ex-boyfriend. While her musical palette is broad enough to take in ‘50s ballads, stomping electro-pop, liquid G-funk and summery soul, her vocal personality—party girl who won't take nonsense from anyone—is remarkably consistent.
