Felt - Felt 4 U (Album)

A notable difference on Felt 4 U is the inclusion of guest artists, with four features making their way onto the final cut. On “Hologram”, Murs and Slug are joined by The Grouch and Aesop Rock, which makes a perfect Easter egg for Felt fans, thanks to their contributions on previous projects. The aforementioned “Underwater” features an excellent appearance from Blimes, who brings her inimitable style to the hook. And Blueprint is credited as his alter-ego, Shepard Albertson, thanks to his vocal support on “Crimson Skies”.

The album provides the perfect segue into Felt’s next chapter. It reflects changing attitudes in the culture and in the world as a whole, and it reflects the changes in Murs and Slug as well. Whereas before, when some songs were delivered with perhaps a slight tone of judgement – for want of a better word – on Felt 4 U we find two artists offering us their opinions and viewpoints in the hopes of furthering discussion. It’s exactly what’s needed in the current climate and also a sign that the Felt story is far from over.
