Leeds-based singer-songwriter Claudia Fenoglio reaffirms her signature sound and introspective lyricism on latest EP What if I'm Here Forever, shaping lyrical stories that weave through themes of nostalgia, queer love, and beloved TV show characters in four vivid tracks.
Ethereal focal track "Stay With You," is captivating from the opening note, beginning with a driving drumline, layered acoustic guitar chords, and vibrant counter melodies with a subtle hum of strings lingering in the background, adding depth to the rich texture of the chorus.
She taps into the tumultuous relationship between Villanelle and Eve from the series Killing Eveon "Alaska,” while opting for playful yet emotive feels on “Forever.” Meanwhile, "Girlfriends On TV" leans into indie-rock influences, delivering hard-hitting drums, swirling guitar melodies, and irresistibly catchy hooks.
A strong testament to her artistic evolution and musical prowess, the immersive and emotionally resonant EP hones in on Fenoglio's unique fusion of "sad-girl indie" and "karaoke pop bangers" to carry us through life's complexities in a succinct and sweet 14-minute sonic experience.
