* SignatureStyle: Her production is usually very light and loose with lots of acoustic guitar, and her lyrics oftten introspective and deep yet still displaying a fun and playfulness to them.

* {{Deconstruction}}: "Merry Go 'Round" is a deconstruction of the myriad country songs celebrating small town life. Not only the people in the town experience crushing SmallTownBoredom, the lifestyle actively stifles their potential and [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife keep looking for distraction from their boredom]] and can't seem to escape.

** "Back On The Map" is this compared to most of her songs. The SignatureStyle mentioned below is replaced by a sad, somber tone as the singer reflects on her regrets.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Her music, in general, is quite edgy compared to most other country music. See the lyrics for "Follow Your Arrow" for details - MANY people in the notoriously conservative country music community wanted her burned at stake for writing such a blatantly liberal song.

* BeYourself:

-->If you save yourself for marriage, you're a bore
-->If you don't save yourself for marriage you're a hor...rible person

* DeconReconSwitch: "Space Cowboy" is written from the perspective of the girlfriend who let her own lover goes using the imagery the old Western TheDrifter cowboys riding off to the sunset. Said imagery is both portrayed in a bittersweet manner: On one hand, the relationship between them is over and they likely will never see each other again... but both of them no longer love each other and is moving on with their lives.
