Eilish possesses a soprano vocal range.[123] Avery Stone of Noisey described her vocals as "ethereal",[124] and Maura Johnston of Rolling Stone characterized them as "whispery".[125] Doreen St. Félix of The New Yorker opined that she has a "husky, slurring voice that she can thin out to reedy".[126] Music critic Robert Christgau wrote that while Eilish is musically and commercially pop, her brand also "reminds us how amorphous [pop] has become", describing her soprano as "too diminutive for vocal calisthenics", adding that her "playful version of teen-goth angst" and "electro-saturated debut album" captivated a diverse audience.[127] Her music incorporates pop,[128] dark pop,[129] electropop,[130] emo pop,[131] experimental pop,[132] goth-pop,[133] indie pop[134] and teen pop.[135]
