Forgive me: I am woefully ill-equipped to describe violins with adjectives more descriptive than "pretty." But Mae's music is evocative, bringing to mind images of middle-eastern deserts... or something. It's violin-based classical but given a pop music sheen with the aid of some electronic drums and instrumentation in the background. A close stylistic comparison could be made to the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack. When she sings, her voice is breathy and a bit buried in the mix, but the point is the instrumentation, which is superb.
