Is it me or is her lower range pretty strong overall for a mezzo? I feel like she could go lower than B2, if she wanted.

"Soda" would probably be a harder song to sing for a lot of female and even some male vocalists. Many of the notes in that song are in the baritone comfort zone.

"Wallace" as well.

[mariana]

For sure a contralto! Her voice is not at all ideal when trying to perform high notes. they end up sounding like a bad impersonation of Bjork (which is not her goal). On the other hand, her lower register is quite pleasant to my ears. she has a controversial timbre.
