The song here called "How I Feel" is from Lei Row's latest mixtape "Urban Retro Life (Vol. 1)." Lei is testing and promoting it more and more to see if it has radio single potential. So far, the song has been getting good reviews. It was written by Lei and produced by independent producer Marty McLaren.
Lei's full mixtape "Urban Retro Life (Vol. 1)" borrows and blends sounds and styles of hip-hop, r&b, and pop music, especially from the 90s and early 2000s. It is written, vocally arranged, and co-produced by Lei and sets the tone for how she writes and vocally arranges in her own work. On this mixtape, Lei is singing over major and independent music industry beat production (and DJ worieL was behind the blending and transitions of some of the tracks). The major industry beat production that she uses are from songs: "Black Nostaljack" by Camp-Lo, "Long Kiss Goodnight" by The Notorious B.I.G., "New Slaves" by Kanye West, and "Pain" by Tupac. The independent beat production is courtesy of Kenneth "Marty McLaren" Onyeaka, Brahim "Mercutio" Derkaoui, Max Layn, Kevin "Gripp" Gripper, Dogukan "Do" Gungor, and Jason "J-Sweet" Sweeting. The subject matter in the songs range from love/companionship highs and lows to race relations, family, and messages of inspiration.
