how i'm feeling now

Amidst all the chaos, Charli XCX has come out with her most abrasive and in my opinion, her best project to date. 'how i'm feeling now' is an album rooted in aesthetics and soundscapes that perfectly represent the homemade nature of the album, and it really is exciting to hear just how brilliantly Charli managed craft an album in so little time. The songs throughout are as intimate and retrospective as her music ever has been and are drenched in very endearing, lush yet raw production that give the overall album a very closely personal and comforting quality unlike anything I've ever heard from Charli XCX previously, and it really is quite the contrast to the rather bleak situation which inspired this entire release in the first place. The fact that she could come out with something this brilliant in so little time tells me this won't be the last great album we'll hear from Charli XCX.
