To Feel Alive is a dreamy, intimate EP released in April 2020, written and recorded largely during the early days of global lockdown. Stripped down and soulful, the project showcases a raw, unfiltered side of Kali Uchis — with much of it recorded in her bedroom, lending a warm, vulnerable atmosphere to the tracks.
The EP blends elements of R&B, neo-soul, and lo-fi psychedelia, floating between sensuality and emotional depth. Uchis uses minimal production and soft vocals to craft a hazy, immersive soundscape that feels like a private conversation. Lyrically, the project explores themes of desire, isolation, self-reflection, and emotional conflict, making it both timely and timeless.
Though brief, To Feel Alive carries a potent emotional weight — a snapshot of solitude and sensuality that feels deeply personal, resonating with anyone navigating love and loneliness in a quiet moment.
