Musical Genre
On unsigned.com Andrea's music is described as pop, indie, acoustic. The song features only vocals, acoustic guitar and a bass guitar. The song begins with quite gentle dynamics as her voice starts softly and so do the instruments. As the song continues the three elements of the song become louder and more aggressive and she gives across the anger in the lyrics and the meaning of the song. The song has a tempo of 120BPM, and follows the classic structure of chorus, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus, etc. Andrea's voice is very clear sounding and mostly high-pitched.
Branding in Media
From looking at the images posted on her account on Unsigned, it seems that Andrea represents herself as popular artist, with her long blonde hair and by the style of her make-up. The promotional pictures of her have bright pinks and other colours which show her to be a pop singer, probably mostly appealing to girls. This is also because her songs tend to be romance/heartbreak themed, which is a typical choice for female teens.
