“I’ll Have What He’s Having” – Felicity

Picture a dinner gathering with Freddie Mercury, Chappell Roan, Hozier, Lorde, Charli XCX, and Prince. The tales would be outrageous, the attire even more so, and the spontaneous songwriting jam would flow as smoothly as vermouth into a martini glass. This vivid and unpredictable scenario is conceived by singer/songwriter Felicity, reflecting the unfiltered, captivating energy she infuses into her music.
This energy is front and center in her latest single, “I’ll Have What He’s Having,” from her upcoming EP, 4PM In the Morning, set to release on August 1. This playful and lively track reinterprets heartbreak through a lens of quiet envy and self-reflection. It demonstrates that Felicity is not just here to create noise; she aims to convey a deeper message.
“I wrote it while watching someone live the life I thought I’d have,” she shares. “It’s not anger. It feels more like resignation. That subtle bitterness that feels uniquely yours.”
The outcome achieves a harmony between control and vulnerability, which aligns perfectly with an EP exploring what remains after the chaos settles. If her debut EP, You Take Me to Dinner but You’ll Never Feed My Soul, addressed the feeling of being seen but not understood, 4PM In the Morning continues the narrative the following day – when the glamour fades, makeup smudges, and truths emerge. It’s personal, but not overly sentimental.

Throughout her work, Felicity adeptly adjusts her vocal style to suit the emotional nuances of each song. From the provocative confidence of “3 Martinis” (just edgy enough that she advised her mom against listening) to the fractured hope of “Half Sad,” her songwriting thrives in emotional ambiguities – those messy, relatable spaces between optimism and despair that shape her sound.
“I don’t ever feel extremely happy, but I’m also not teetering on the edge of hopelessness,” she remarks. “There’s so much inspiration found in that in-between space. Everyone I talk to shares similar struggles – on some SSRI, feeling somewhat numb – and I’m like, same here. This is the soundtrack.”
Her capacity to transform disillusionment into catharsis is one of Felicity’s most compelling qualities. Her songs often resemble diary entries that are genuine, unfiltered, and striving to make sense of the drama.
“I think I’ve always interpreted life through melody,” she explains. “Sometimes I’ll write a song before I even comprehend how I feel. It feels like I’m untangling things one lyric at a time.”

Her instinct to navigate through chaos has honed since moving to Nashville. There, she’s discovered not only a wealth of inspiration but also a tight-knit group of collaborators who challenge and resonate with her.
“I enter a room with one guy, and he plays like five guys who’ve dedicated their lives to this,” she notes. “That kind of magic – that’s Nashville.”
Despite inevitable comparisons to artists like Amy Winehouse, Chappell Roan, and Florence and the Machine, Felicity is reluctant to be confined to one label. Raised in Perth, Australia, she grew up in a musically diverse household, with her mom adoring Winehouse and Celine Dion, while her dad favored Queen and David Bowie. She learned classical piano, immersed herself in musical theatre, and penned her first song at age 15. She’s knowledgeable about the industry, often dropping insights about other artists as a contemporary, musically-versed Cliff Claven.

Felicity’s “There’s Been a Lot Going On” Translates Burnout & Exhaustion into Ethereal, Soul-Touching Refinement:: PREMIERE ::
Her global upbringing, enriched by experiences in various countries, afforded her a unique understanding of how music can transcend borders and connect people through emotion.
“I appreciate that every project feels like its own little universe,” she reflects. “Yet I’m always constructing from the same emotional base.”
That base, along with her unwavering commitment to tackle difficult themes, gives 4PM In the Morning its pulse. Selecting the final tracklist from a multitude of options was a challenging process.
“You become attached to everything,” Felicity admits. “But over time, the songs that are meant to resonate… they begin to clarify themselves.”
