Leonard Wellington, a singer, songwriter, and producer from the Netherlands, impresses with his new track, “I’ve Been Feeling.” The rough-hewn vocals give the polished song less of a shiny veneer but a more gritty sound. This more raw approach makes the single more compelling and urgent. It undercuts in the best way the carefree, smooth musical accompaniment that shows some tension and stride over a relationship. Thereby giving “I’ve Been Feeling” less of a saccharine aftertaste. Instead, one becomes more intense and complex with Wellington's out-of-left-field performance. It succeeds in that it hits the listener in the gut and heart.
