The 'Fake' singer told thelondonpaper that she has a pop-rock sound and does not use electro beats like many of her contemporaries.
Roots said: "I'm not going to lie and say that my parents brought me up on those sorts of '80s acts [Cyndi Lauper and Lene Lovich] - it was much more likely to be Queen.
"'Don't Stop Looking' is really influenced by Queen. It's been great learning about all these people. Lene Lovich - I think she's just mental. I've researched loads of people that I've been compared to."
She added that she listened to Britney Spears, Steps and S Club Juniors when she was growing up.
