A scan of her artist page on any streaming service offers a gratifying biography of an artist slowly but surely chipping away at her style in search of a distinct point of view: the lounge jazz stylings of 2020’s Dead End World give way to piquant, post-King Krule bedroom pop on 2022’s Leak Your Own Blues and Billie Eilish-ish pathos on 2023’s Steps EP.
