Dougie F – “In Your Feelings” EP

Coming off the high from his Yellow Durag project, Dougie F returns to offer us another compelling project dubbed, In Your Feelings,  again separating himself from the rest of the noise. 
 
When most people think of the phrase, “In Your Feelings” its usual short for when you’re feeling “some type of way,” an emotion commonly intertwined with mixed affections, more often than not with another person.
 
In Your Feelings the EP is just that, a carefully selected compilation of songs that fit into various moods while transitioning in and out of a relationship. For Dougie F, the meaning is vast – he wants his fans to listen to this project through their own feelings, as there cannot be a right or wrong answer – its however you take the music. 
 
For some, it could be reminiscent of falling in and out of love with a significant other. For others, each individual song can spark a series of feelings one has felt with multiple relationships or people. 
 
“The greatest thing about this project is how each moment is captured. There is a song for every scenario or stage of love you may be in or have experienced,” Dougie Fsaid to media in a statement. “This project takes you on a trip, through the highs and lows, beginning and ends  and everything in between of a courtship.  Then on the last song it sparks a tenacious curiosity as I open your mind and start all over again.”
 
The project takes you on a trip and is produced by a host of producers including Lurtz Oliver, Benny X, Critical, Taz Taylor, Junior Chef, Bewill, Ray L and the Blurry Boys.
