I feel

I feel (2023) pairs the bubbly, self-loving hit Queencard with its pre-release Allergy, a song about hating what you see in the mirror and on your feed. The rest drifts through a late-night invitation, a love that feels like paradise, and a closing letter to one's parents from someone who still doesn't feel grown up. The vocabulary covers looks and confidence, social-media-era insecurity, and warm everyday words about family and growing up.
