Reviewers compare her to Suzanne Vega, Aimee Mann and other refined singer-songwriters.

 Perhaps because Bic Runga sings an adult music made of syncopated yet slow rhythms, of vocal reflections as delicate as her voice, always graceful in never attacking those who listen to her, a sweet and relaxed pop, never over the top and without arrangements that pander to the charts.

 Sino-Malay on her mother's side and Maori on her father's side, a star in her homeland but unknown or almost so abroad, Bic Runga is an adorable pop singer-songwriter active since 1997 who boasts a repertoire of simple and intimate songs characterized by a great spontaneity and catchy melodies as well as a refined and personal style, an almost artisanal care of the sound and arrangements.
