Feelings: Vinyl LP

“Do you feel what I feel too?” Brijean Murphy poses this question at the start of Feelings, Brijean's full - length debut on Ghostly International, a collaborative project with Doug Stuart. This album is a masterpiece guided by a rich blend of charming keyboard chords, grooving bass lines, and radiant bongo - driven rhythms. The lyric of “Day Dreaming” serves as both an invitation and a statement of intent. Brijean wants you to move in every way - physically, mentally, and dimensionally. It's dance music for the mind, body, and soul. With Feelings, they've created a gentle collective space for rest, self - reflection, self - care, uninhibited imagination, and new possibilities. The album has a unique vibe that Murphy calls “romancing the psyche.”Growing up in a family surrounded by jazz, Latin, and soul music, Murphy became an accomplished DJ, session, and live player in Oakland's music scene and one of indie's most sought - after percussionists. In 2018, she started recording songs with multi - instrumentalist and producer Doug Stuart. After their first sessions resulting in the mini - album Walkie Talkie in 2019, the duo continued jamming in Oakland with friends. The material has a loose, dance - oriented theme but also has somnolent moments. On “Ocean,” Brijean's soothing lyrics float over a brushed drum pattern and sparkling rhodes lines. Tracks like “Ocean” offer moments of blissful introspection. Murphy calls “Hey Boy” a “psychedelic guide” through sorrow, anxiety, and apathy. Overall, the songs in Feelings aim to make us feel alive, radiating with abandon and self - devotion.
