    It is no surprise that the sound is full of all the kind of clanking noises and sci-fi effects that have long steered Charli just left of the mainstream. Yet somehow this set of 11 short songs has a directness, immediacy and intimacy that has eluded her before. ... This album showcases the least mannered performances of her career. She makes you feel these songs.

    Charli starts and ends with hard disorienting club bangers, leaving the middle of the album space to expose her tenderness and vulnerability while still retaining her futuristic, unpredictable sound and penchant for an irresistible pop hook.

    Present and post-lockdown, how i’m feeling now will be a definitive album of its time. Aitchison has captured this space we now all exist in and all its facets.

    Listening to it feels like fleeing from a warehouse rave. Just like lockdown itself, How I’m Feeling Now can be overwhelming – panic-inducing, even – when taken as a whole. But there are snatches of brilliance here, and as perhaps the very first album to be produced under lockdown, it is really quite an achievement.

    Wholly a spontaneous offering, entirely DIY in production, and made from the creative confines of whatever was available to the singer in self-isolation; Charli XCX has proved that music really can be made anywhere, with anything, during a period where the world is on pause, and still sounds like the future is hers to play with.

    Though it lacks the alien opalescence of Charli's best record, how i'm feeling now contains a different sort of thrilling delirium. It's fun and sometimes silly, made on the fly and under a tight deadline. But it's desperate too — a frenzied call for release, an ode to the love that keeps us going, and further proof that no other pop artist today can make the digital sound so disarmingly human.

    It’s another intriguing entry into the Charli XCX canon, even if it does feel like more of a stopgap than anything. But hey, right now, that’s okay too.

    Charli has grown so much as an artist in the past few years and she really realized who she wanted to be as an artist after she discover PCCharli has grown so much as an artist in the past few years and she really realized who she wanted to be as an artist after she discover PC music, this album is way more experimental than the self titled and more cohesive that the 2 last mixtapes so this might be her best album yet.

    i owe charli my life for releasing such a fun album during these times.... like the cover art and some of the songs and honestly the album asi owe charli my life for releasing such a fun album during these times.... like the cover art and some of the songs and honestly the album as a whole may not be the best according to charli standards,, but the way she built this out of nothing and so swiftly and saved us from a trash year...

    how i’m feeling now has a handful of VERY good songs!! some of these go real **** hard!!! but as a whole this is not a pop2.... and honestly i wasn’t expecting that according to the conditions under which it was made....

    but for a 1/2 month project this is a really good and fun mixtape!! full of new and very interesting sounds and lyrics strongly referring to the times we’re living right now.

    fav song: anthems
    least fav: i finally understand
