Feel Different Every Day, the sophomore EP from Fayetteville, North Carolina, singer-songwriter chlothegod, is a document of a woman in her 20s, understanding who she is and who she has yet to become. She was able to explore her rage, her messiness, and her exhaustion to new degrees, and the songs on the EP are startling and affecting in their candor, self-awareness, and in the effort chlo puts into uncovering and examining her own flaws. “While working on the new project, I was able to experiment with my own voice, along with the words I said — the things that I meant when I said them. Even just the literal volume in which I sing on my new project feels symbolic to me.” That newfound emotional safety, paired with the validation of seeing her introspective songs resonate while performing on two North America tours in support of her debut, Nearly Straight, enabled a sense of artistic freedom while she worked on her latest EP. “I’ve finally allowed myself to revisit things that happened earlier in my life and let them out for the first time.”
As much as self-reflection can be painful, it’s also freeing, and I Feel Different Every Day takes the work of self-improvement seriously while still maintaining an ability to laugh along the way, with a winking sense of humor across project singles like “Why Would I” and “Digging Around,” and a nod, ultimately to the community that she’s found and which has supported her and allowed her the confidence to share this personal exploration. “My community helps me manage my expectations of handling my mental health and forgetting the idea of ‘solving myself’,” she says. “I had to be able to rely on other people in moments where I couldn't really rely on myself. Doing so built up a sense of confidence in myself to be able to say those things out loud in public.”
