I believe the answer is:

altered

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in a different style' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'related' is the wordplay.
'related' can be anagrammed to 'ALTERED'.
Though, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for altered that I've seen before include "Changed, adapted" , "Converted" , "Different" , "Reformed" , "Treadle (anag)" .)
