I like death metal and gangster rap. I can appreciate that she’s a talented musician but none of it does anything for me

If anything, you might like Cardigan. I've enjoyed metal and some rap most of my life, and I find that those are more about the lyrics than the melody (but obviously the melody matters). Cardigan is one of her best lyrical songs, IMO.

As a fellow enjoyer of heavy/extreme music, I appreciate a well-written song in any genre, and I'd say her talents are far more along the songwriting vein. She's a reasonable musician, but her ear for hooks and her lyricism are far more remarkable than her musicianship.
