"What she's come up with so far is a little bit pop, a little bit electronic, a little bit folk and even a little bit jazzy. And yet she manages to arrive at a sound that's unlike anyone else who fits that description"

"The classically trained violinist references iconic female songwriters like Stevie Nicks and Alanis Morissette as personal influences - artists who remind Fig to remain vulnerable when creating, a quality she hopes similarly inspires her listeners"
