Canadian singer-songwriter Becca Stefanson takes her first major step into the spotlight with the release of her debut EP Going Forward, Looking Back, led by the emotionally tender centerpiece ‘How I Feel.’
Built around delicate fingerpicked guitar and a soft, understated vocal performance, the track highlights an emerging artist already showing a strong sense of control when it comes to storytelling and atmosphere. There is a quiet confidence in the way Becca approaches the song, allowing space and simplicity to carry its emotional weight.
Rooted in folk country traditions but shaped by the intimacy of contemporary singer-songwriter music, ‘How I Feel’ leans into vulnerability in a way that feels natural rather than forced. Her gentle vocal delivery keeps things close and conversational, drawing listeners into the emotional core of the track without ever overwhelming it.
Written as her first attempt at fingerpicking, the song captures the feeling of emotional uncertainty that comes with watching something meaningful slowly drift away. In it, Becca steps into perspectives inspired by heartbreak stories she has heard from others, translating those imagined experiences into something deeply personal and relatable.
Raised in Pitt Meadows, she has been quietly building her craft through recent open mic performances, using those intimate settings to refine both her songwriting and her connection with audiences.
With Going Forward, Looking Back, Becca Stefanson delivers a thoughtful and promising debut, offering an early glimpse of an artist beginning to find clarity, identity, and emotional direction in her voice.
