I've already answered this though and it's stated in the challenge post.
You are supposed to write a song that would serve as a good title track for that album, so yes of course you're supposed to mirror that artist's style, in particular the style of that album. It's supposed to sound like a song they would sing from that album. That's the challenge of it.

One more thing, the song you write has to thematically fit the parent album. If you were to select Adele's "21" for example, you wouldn't be able to submit a dance bop about reaching the legal drinking age, it'd be better suited as a soulful emotional ballad to fit in with the rest of 21.

For example, when Sia writes for other artists, she puts herself in their shoes... it still has her signature sound to it, like it should have
your signature sound to it, but it also fits the artist she's writing for. Trying to find that balance of your style and the artist's will be a good challenge.
