how i'm feeling now by Charli XCX - ALBUM REVIEW

Charli XCX lying in bed and holding a camera

Sometimes, during these times, you have to look on the positive side of things. I'm positive that during quarantine, we got a damn good album from a damn great artist.

Charli XCX has always been in the back of my mind as I go through the recent years of pop music; the pop star that was too good for the charts. This album completely sells that theory, as it may be her best, certainly her most relevant, to date. 

The album feels like a lowkey party that you're not invited to, and can't be invited to, due to the pandemic. It's an album of mixed feelings and sentiments set to glossy synths. It's a haunting yet fun listen, and the perfect kind of music to get us through this. Sorry "Toosie Slide".

I can't even really explain it, it's just fantastic. It's like eating a candy for the first time and letting your senses overwhelm you. The whole album feels like an experience out of sitting in your room, doing nothing, and being alone with your thoughts. There may be some songs I like more than others on this album, but it all adds up to a masterpiece.

9/10

Best Tracks: "forever", "7 years", "enemy",  "party 4 u", "anthems", "visions"
