“Feels This Way”

PEI indie-pop musician Logan Richard dropped his newest single, “Feels This Way,” on October 3.

Something wild happens in the body when a new partner gives the tour of where they come from—an excited, elated anxiousness, kind of like a fuzzy coming alive of one’s nerve endings. With the warm and wiry groove of “Feels This Way,” Richard taps into that feeling. Over a catchy guitar line, he sings about taking off to meet his lover’s Francophone mom, fumbling his French, scoping out where she got high for the first time, and getting nervy when she tells him a friend of hers is going to medical school.

The single was written by Richard and longtime collaborator Ben Aiken. New Brunswick songwriter David Myles, for whom Richard frequently plays guitar live, helped with the bridge of the song. The single is Richard’s first with his new label home, Outside Music. Richard will open for Myles at the PEI Brewing Company in Charlottetown on November 7.
