Musical style and influences

In her teens, Inna performed with a pop rock band that did not achieve much success.[14][89] Her first recordings are the ballads and soft pop/rock songs "Goodbye", "Sorry" and the Romanian language song "Oare" (Do You?), which were not released until her later success.

After meeting the producers from Play & Win, her musical style changed radically. Dance and club songs became her most frequent recordings.[90] In an interview with Adevǎrul magazine, the singer stated that "Hot is an up-beat house song with club beats and it is very commercial."[13] She performed all of her singles live and unplugged in countries such as Poland, Belgium, France and Spain. On December 1, during the Romanian National day, Inna gave a live performance of traditional Romanian songs and the military anthem "Treceţi Batalioane Române Carpaţii".[91] In a recent interview with a DJ from Fun Radio (France) Inna stated that her main sources of inspiration are David Guetta, Kelly Rowland and Kylie Minogue, but also listed Beyonce, Lady GaGa and Shakira as her music idols. In an interview with Cătălin Măruţă, on Pro TV's show "Happy Hour", she said that her Romanian music icons are Andra and the late Mădălina Manole.
