Following her success from her previous releases โ€œWasteโ€, which received more than 300,000 streams within the first month and being featured in a session performance for BBC Introducing for her song โ€œOver Nowโ€. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Olivia Rodrigo and Sharon Van Etten, Fenoglio molds together her serene vocals and intimate lyrics to generate the unwanted feeling of falling back into the emotions youโ€™ve felt when you were younger. With a soothing acoustic guitar and her delicate vocals, she easily pulls you in and rids the listener of any anxieties that life brings you.
