Artistry

Influences

Mendler has cited Bob Dylan as her biggest musical influence. To Ed Condran of Hartford Courant she said that: “You look at what Bob Dylan and artists like him have done and you just can’t help but be blown away. I’m just glad I have the opportunity to start with this and I just want to take it as far as I can”. In an interview with Disney Channel Netherlands, she revealed that her favorite song was “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” from Dylan’s 1963 album The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan. To Taylor Trudon of Huffington Post she said: “He was the first musician I got into where I paid attention to songwriting. He has a way of writing songs that’s really playful with lyrics, but at the same time he’s saying something that people feel is important and that they relate to. He spoke for a whole generation.”. Also to Trudon, Mendler cited Etta JamesElvis PresleyB. B. KingLily AllenElla Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, and talked about these artists: “I love that they have soul in their voices. I think that’s something important”. Other musical influences include Elvis CostelloThe DelfonicsRed Hot Chili Peppers and Van Morrison. During an interview with Yahoo!, in 2012, Mendler also commented that her first female influence was the R&B girl group Salt-N-Pepa and sang an impromptu a cappella rendition of the song “Shoop“.

She said hip hop band Fugees had great influence in her music training and also the recording of the debut album and song “Ready or Not“, “One of the writers was like ‘Check out this Fugees song, ‘Ready or Not’. So we all listened to it and were like that would be kind of fun to do some sort of interpolation off of that song, which is what we did. I think it stands by itself as its own song but it still has that memorable quality of the Fugees song, which is fun. I think we were all really proud of it and hoping it will go far”. For her debut album, Hello My Name Is…, Mendler was inspired by indie pop singers Ingrid Michaelson and Feist. Among the pop music artists, she cited Maroon 5No DoubtDestiny’s ChildJustin TimberlakeBeyoncé and Bruno Mars. She cited Jamie Foxx as a great model of how to have a career in acting and music.

Mendler said that is influenced by British neo-soul and listed Ellie GouldingFlorence and the MachineMarina Diamandis, and Lianne La Havas as her biggest British influences. She has mentioned Natasha BedingfieldBroken BellsMark Ronson and Amy Winehouse. In 2013 Mendler revealed to have a big admiration for the Adele‘s musical style. To Disney Channel UK she said that “admire the career of Adele, because she has her own musical style. She does things her way and writes about things she is passionate about. It is really working out well for her”. She was also influenced by Canadian artists Feist and Tegan and Sara. To Hartford Courant she commented: “I’ve been a fan of Tegan and Sara’s for awhile. They just do what they want to do. They don’t follow trends”. She covered the song “I Was a Fool” by the duo and released with the message: “I heard this song by Tegan and Sara a couple weeks ago and couldn’t stop singing it, so I just had to do my own version”. In 2014, she mentioned in an interview to CKQK-FM Canadian artists Nelly FurtadoJoni Mitchell and European bands Coldplay and Little Dragon as influences in composing her second album.

In acting career, Mendler has cited some influences as Jamie FoxxNatalie Portman and Rachel McAdams. About McAdams she said that “She plays a variety of roles, she has a lot of charisma, and she doesn’t try to live her life in the public eye”. She also admires the dedication of Christian Bale: “I could not live my life as committed to the craft as he does, with body transformations and such, he goes to such extremes but he is very admirable”. Mendler also mentioned Lindsay Lohan as a great actress.

Lyrical themes and songwriting

Thematically, Guilherme Tintel of Portal It Pop has noted that Mendler wasn’t immature as the first work of other Hollywood artists. Tintel compares her songs to Jessie JKaty PerryNatalia Kills and Taylor Swift. Mendler said that the writing process isn’t hard, because she was influenced by her own experiences. Her debut single, “Ready or Not“, talks about self-confidence and deal with boys. To Pop Dirt Mendler said: “I consider myself to be that girl sitting at the curb waiting for the world, so I think it’s a great message to send to just go for the things that you want to take charge of”. Her debut album discussed relationships (“Rocks at My Window”, “Top of the World”, “Love Will Tell Us Where to Go”, “The Fall Song” and “Hold On for Dear Love”), break-up (“5:15“), alienation and romantic chaos (“Hurricane” and “Forgot to Laugh”), self-confidence (“Ready or Not”), self-esteem (“City Lights”), friendship (“We’re Dancing”), money (“All I See Is Gold”) and blonde girls (“Blonde”).

To Hartford Courant she commented that writing is a compulsion. “It’s also something I really enjoy. I like to create. It’s part of being a recording artist. I love to write songs”. Mendler also said she didn’t want to make commercial songs, but timeless songs. “I want to make music that stands the test of time. You look at what Bob Dylan and artists like him have done and you just can’t help but be blown away. I’m just glad I have the opportunity to start with this and I just want to take it as far as I can. I wanted variety and to just make things really interesting. This isn’t just something that comes out of a machine. It came out of me. This isn’t about product. I want to grow as an artist. I remember listening to certain recording artists and songs that had a really big impact on me”.

Musical and voice style

Mendler’s vocal range spans 3.4 octaves. She is a mezzo-soprano. She plays guitarkeyboard, and keytar Sávio Alves of Febre Teen Magazine said that Mendler’s voice was “strong and sweet”. He calls Mendler’s voice as having a “metallic tone” and this being “rare in young female singers”. Her voice was compared to indie and blues artists. Her music is generally pop and reggae fusion and has features of R&Bfunk, and hip hop soul. In an interview, she said she prefers to escape the traditional pop and dance-pop and adding other elements. “I have funkyR&B tendencies when I write by myself. I really love doo-wop and a jazzy swing beat. Rhythm is a big emphasis in my own writing”. Her voice and style has been compared to Lily Allen. She has been compared to Miley Cyrus, who also started on the Disney Channel, but in an interview to Christian Post Mendler said: “I’m not Miley Cyrus. There may be some similarities but I’m my own person.” In 2013, during an interview with the Huffington Post, Mendler was compared to other young artists and asked if she would follow the footsteps in pop music. Mendler said that “They’ve done so much and they’re so talented. I think it’s tricky because they’ve been obviously very successful, but I think you always want to be your own person and not be categorized by doing the same thing”.
