    This is the sound of Lockdown. Superpop perfection with sensational production.

    Mother of quarantine albums. One of the most cohesive albums she had created and all in 5 weeks. Truly some of her best work and so many good memories attached to the making of this album.

    This is my favorite album of all time. I love the hyperpop sound. It is so unique to Charli XCX and she does it so well. There isn't a single skip for me and I listen to this album on a weekly basis lol.

    While how i’m feeling now is by no means Charli’s most genre-pushing work, nor an indication of the creative potential she has left, it will be remembered as a quintessential 2020 album—not just because of its unique recording constraints, but because of the passion, authenticity and work ethic interwoven in every fuzzy beat and every sprightly, lovelorn lilt of Charli’s most intimate vocal work to date.

    If these songs are more off the cuff than before, nothing here sounds unprofessional. Some lyrics have not exactly been sweated-over – “I love you forever, even when we’re not together,” goes Forever – but they chime with people feeling acutely separated from loved ones.

    While not life-altering, how i’m feeling now is fun, fast and thoroughly listenable. It’s absorbing as a document from a strange period, and its diaristic, vloggy aspects provide an intriguing peek into artistry under pressure.
