Hell, UMG has a point with C-man. It's not just the bravado of the guy, but also the ability to weave any story into the music.

Make 'em Afraid is a step in the right direction, but she needs it to be less of a Character Song (that shit is reserved for debuts) and more of as STORY song involving the character. And maybe the path forward for Mori (regardless of genre) is storytelling within the song. I firmly believe Mori has what it takes to pick up rock
or even metal. She has ran TTRPG campaigns, she can definitely pull it off. Why do you think Power Metal has a massive overlap with grognards? Storytelling, that's what.
