	Artistry:
	Musical Style Cole possesses the vocal range of a mezzo-soprano but states she is most comfortable singing lower in her range.   Influences 3 Words was influenced by Cole's appreciation for dance music has given the album and its singles a distinctively different sound to Girls Aloud. It crosses from contemporary R&B, dance pop, house and a more general pop sound. Messy Little Raindrops utilizes a more dance pop sound than Cole's previous album. Cole described the album as "more exciting, very personal, very me," combining pop, R&B, and dance sounds. In contrast to her debut album 3 Words (2009) and Messy Little Raindrops (2010), which both mainly drew influences from the Dance-pop and Pop genres, A Million Lights Cole's third studio album also incorporates R&B and dance. Cole also incorporated Dup-step into A Million Lights "The dub-step influenced track Girl In The Mirror - showing a new direction for Chezza, away from her usual R&B influenced sound."
