Snail Mail is the stage name of American singer, songwriter, and guitarist Lindsey Jordan. She has won several awards, including the 2019 Breakthrough Artist of the Year award, and her songs have been praised for their thoughtful, introspective lyrics and lo-fi indie rock sound. Their songs have been described as "hauntingly beautiful" and "emotionally charged". 

Snail Mail's music has been described as indie rock and alternative rock. While Snail Mail's previous releases were noted for their simple, lo-fi guitar sounds, Valentine has adopted a richer sonic palette, incorporating synthesizers, strings, and samples. Lindsay Zoladz of The New York Times noted Jordan's unconventional sense of melody and his preference for "obscure" effects pedals, both of which have '90s indie rock influences. His lyricism has been noted for its frank and introspective nature.
