Review

The first time I let "Are You Happy Now?" wash over me, it felt like having a heart-to-heart with an old friend during those moody, rain-soaked afternoons. Jensen McRae doesn’t shy away from laying her soul bare, especially in tracks like "Wolves", where every lyric seems torn right from her diary—equal parts raw and clever. She blends those classic, cozy folk sounds with unexpected swirls of pop and R&B, gently shaking up the acoustic warmth I usually find myself craving when I'm feeling introspective.

What really gets me is how she strings together stories of heartbreak and uncertainty, layering them over handlebars of gentle percussion and vocals that feel both fragile and unbreakable at once. When I listen, I’m reminded of my own late-night overthinking sessions, when confessions are easiest to find in between the quiet strums of guitar. "Are You Happy Now?" isn’t loud or showy, but it sneaks up on you, coaxing you to sit still and really listen—a comfort for anyone who’s ever second-guessed themselves and kept moving forward anyway. - Emma
