In 2019 she released the album Nachricht vom Feind which was noticed for its strong symbolism. She describes her musical style as "Military Dream Pop" [5] and media compares her to Rammstein due to the symbolism. [6] The debut album contains musical elements from pop as well as from Neue Deutsche Härte and classical music. The German lyrics are provocative and full of military language and BDSM references. The theme of her songs is the deep and dark aspects of love. For example, one of her songs describes the relationship between Eva Braun and Adolf Hitler. [7]
