Zach Zoya's appreciation of post-'00s emotional hip-hop and slithering R&B has informed his own quivering style. The delicate synths and atmospheric echoes of “Superficial” owe a debt to the likes of SZA and PARTYNEXTDOOR, while Zoya's ability to move from tender singing to a more barbed rap flow is similar to that of fellow Canadian Drake, with both artists capable of tuning their voices to shape their emotive sounds.
