Cold Specks marked her return with “How It Feels,” her first release in seven years since the album Fool’s Paradise in 2017.
Reflecting on the song, Ladan Hussein, also known as Al Spx, shared, “’How It Feels’ was written in 2019 during a challenging period financially and mentally. It was an introspective moment stemming from personal struggles and experiences. The creative process took place on a mystical winter night in a studio around midnight. Collaborating with Chantal [Kreviazuk] was a delightful experience.”
The track delves into Cold Specks’ journey with a bipolar diagnosis following hospitalization for her mental well-being. Written in collaboration with Kreviazuk, produced by Graham Walsh of Holy Fuck, the song features Johnny Spence on piano, Owen Pallett on strings, and Terry Edwards on brass instrumentation.
