!!This album provides examples of:
* AnimatedMusicVideo: The MV for "His Man".
* TheDeathOfDeath: Evoked on "Kali":
--> ''Even Death must die''
--> ''Even Death dies''
* DrowningMySorrows: The premise of "Going To Bars To Drink Alone".
* EpicRocking: "Crush! I Went to Your Party / Fever Song Obsession / Crushed Operator!".
* FaceOnTheCover
* FreudianExcuse: Evoked on "His Man"
--> ''It's easy to blame your faults on the flaws you inherit''
* HappilyEverAfter: On "Kali":
--> ''Oh, little light of mine''
--> ''The way you blink your eyes at me when you wake''
--> ''Is enough to make me believe that we will last''
--> '''Til the end of days, always''
* LamarckWasRight: The protagonist of "His Man" inherits the powers of his father [[MidasTouch Midas]] and her mother {{Medusa}}
* LimitedLyricsSong: On "Chapter XIII":
--> ''I'll be regretting you soon''
--> ''This much I know''
--> ''You are like the song''
--> ''That I listen to''
--> ''You are the only song I listen to''
--> ''You are the only song I hear''
* LyricalColdOpen: "Needles in Your Pockets".
* TheMagicTouch: The protagonist of "His Man" can turn to stone everything he touches.
* {{Medusa}}: The mythological character is mentionned on "His Man". She, along with [[MidasTouch Midas]] gave birth to a boy who inherits both of their powers.
* MelismaticVocals: Played on "Chapter XIII" and "His Man".
* MidasTouch: "His Man" imagines a boy born out of Midas and Medusa.
--> ''Now everything he touches turns to stone''
--> ''And everything he looks at shines like gold''
* MoodWhiplash: The slow serene "How Many Shadows Do I Lay On" suddenly gets raucous and energetic on its outro.
* MusicVideos: Michelle intended to have a music video for each track off the album, in a similar fashion to {{Music/Beyonce}}'s latest albums. In the end, only 3 songs off the album have a MV.
* ObliviousToLove: The protagonist of "His Man":
--> ''He doesn't know what love is!''
* OneWordTitle: "Saturnino" and "Kali".
* PsychedelicRock
* SiameseTwinSongs: "Crush! I Went to Your Party / Fever Song Obsession / Crushed Operator!".
* SongStyleShift:
** "His Man" shifts between moody and hard-hitting PsychedelicRock
** The last three tracks of the album share that same trope:
*** "Saturnino" starts off slow until the last minute where it gets more rhythmic and anxious.
*** "Kali" follows that same scheme, except at the end where it gets more triumphant before swiftly turning dim. "Risk Fruit" shares a similar pattern but more chaotic.
* TakenForGranite: On "His Man":
--> ''Now everything he touches turns to stone''
