Music can be divided into\u00a0genres\u00a0(e.g.,\u00a0country music) and genres can be further divided into\u00a0subgenres\u00a0(e.g.,\u00a0country blues\u00a0and\u00a0pop country\u00a0are two of the many country subgenres), although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to personal interpretation, and occasionally controversial.

Her album\u00a0Med\u00falla\u00a0is composed entirely of processed and acoustic vocal music, including\u00a0beatboxing,\u00a0choral\u00a0arrangements, and\u00a0throat singing.<\/p>\n
