Artistryedit
Dey's music has been characterized as "digitally warped"[14] and has been noted especially for her use of "distinctive vocal effects"[10] as well as by her "resourceful use of pitch-shifting and bizarre instrumental choices, for which she has been compared to indie rock/bedroom pop artist Alex G.[6] Despite her use of glitchy digital effects and Synthesizers, she has been characterized as a singer-songwriter: Stereogum writer James Rettig writes about Mydata, “Take away the digitally fucked sonics and [her songs are] downright universal. She basically makes hyper-modern piano ballads, rooted in old songwriting traditions — a girl and a piano, trying to bang out some existential crisis."[4]
Dey has related some of these stylistic choices to her status as a trans woman. In an interview with The Fader, she said pitch-shifting her vocals was originally "a way of relieving dysphoria and making my own music more palatable for me to listen to so that it didn't upset me".[10] Her collaboration album Some New Form of Life marked the first time she released music with "totally unaffected"[10] vocals, which she attributes to confidence resulting from her friendship with fellow trans woman Devi McCallion. Her album Solipsisters is written as an exploration of the relation between the soul and body and as a way of working through her personal conflicts in this area.[10]
Dey is especially interested in exploring online relationships and online communities in her music. She explains in an interview that many of her friendships have come from the internet via her music, including her friendship with Toronto-based musician Devi McCallion.[10] Dey's album Mydata is written, according to her, "explicitly about an internet relationship, which can be precisely as meaningful as a relationship that’s physical".[17][4] The album features a music video for the lead single "dancing" filmed in the online virtual world Second Life which depicts a long-distance online relationship.[18][17]
