Fiona-Lee - To Make Me Feel Good
We featured Fiona-Lee in November of last year with the catchy and emotive "When I Wake Up." Getting closer to the release date of her debut EP Nothing Compares To Nineteen, the London-based pop singer/songwriter dropped a new single, the bitter-sweet "To Make Me Feel Good." Fiona-Lee definitely draws comparisons with Florence + The Machine, thanks to her powerful vocals and passionate delivery. Overall, though, her production is lighter and fresher and more to my personal liking. The inspiration for the fourth single from her EP, out on March 7, is profound, and the takeaway is almost universally meaningful. Fiona-Lee says:
“I wrote ‘To Make Me Feel Good’ when I was going through a hard time with my body image. It’s a song about the idea that you shouldn’t need someone else to make you feel like you’re enough as you are. I think it’s even worse for young people now because it’s so easy to compare yourself to others online, and I think many of us search for validation through social media and romantic partners - even if they’re not the right people for us. So ‘To Make Me Feel Good’ is about acknowledging how reliant we can be on that and saying maybe it’s not so good for us - as well as generally questioning the amount of importance and pressure that’s actually put on ‘being beautiful’ nowadays."
