Spektor usually sings in English, though she sometimes includes a few words or verses of Latin, Russian, French, and other languages in her songs. Her lyrics are equally eclectic, often taking the form of abstract narratives or first-person character studies, similar to short stories or vignettes put to song. She also explores a variety of different and somewhat unorthodox vocal techniques, such as verses composed entirely of buzzing noises made with the lips and beatbox-style flourishes in the middle of ballads, and also makes use of such unusual musical techniques as using a drum stick to tap rhythms on the body of the piano or chair. Spektor possesses a broad vocal range and uses the full extent of it.
She has also stated that she never aspired to write songs herself, but songs seem to just flow to her. Spektor has said that she has created 700 songs, but that she rarely writes any of them down. Her music is associated with the anti-folk scene centered on New York City's East Village.
