Talented Mersey singer-songwriter Zuzu Stranack has released her biting new single How It Feels. It was written with her guitarist Kurran Karbal, and recorded with producer Jim Abbiss. Mixing pop textures into her signature guitar tunes, it’s a real earworm.

“The song came together really quickly”, she says of the new tune. “We’d written and demoed it within two hours – and sometimes I find the ones I write the quickest turn out to be the ones that mean the most.” She describes the track as “about not giving up on relationships and aspirations, even when things seem to be falling apart. It’s about looking back at past mistakes, learning from them, and maybe even trying to set things right.”
