FOLEY release exhilarating new single 'HEARTSTRINGS'

Pop duo Foley return today with their latest single; an exhilarating new love song titled 'Heartstrings'. The Eora/Sydney-based band, who moved across the ditch from Aotearoa just earlier this year, have released the new track alongside the news of their upcoming sophomore album That's Life, Baby!, set to be released on February 28th, 2025.
 
Ever the masters of infectious melody and syrupy-sweet pop goodness, Foley continue to outdo themselves with each new glimmering release– and 'Heartstrings' is no exception. A layered track overflowing with warm and buoyant vocals, not to mention a tonne of bubbly, 80s-inspired synths, the new single bears an upbeat soundscape, and creates an uplifting mood beyond worthy of the title of "love song". Lyrically, the single finds a balance between sweet and cheeky, flawlessly mimicking the myriad of exciting feelings that tend to come with new love. On the story and meaning behind the song, the band said;
 
"We are so confident now in what Foley's sound is after releasing our first album, that this next run of songs has been such a dream to put together. 'Heartstrings' comes from the giddiness of a new flame/lover, wanting to reach and aspire to their greatness even if you're being a bit blinded by rose tinted glasses. The fine line between love and obsession; having an admiration for someone that makes them addictive to you. Hypnotising and stupidly entrancing, you realise that the thought of this person is so powerful to you it's tearing you apart."  FOLEY
 
Created on a writing getaway, 'Heartstrings' was a collaborative experience that came to life amongst conversations of the crazy ways that love and attraction can drive us to feel and act. The band said, of these shared experiences and the writing process that they fuelled;
 
"We wanted to get out of the city, so brought all our gear over to Auckland's Waiheke Island for the weekend, and let the location be the extra member of the band -  writing freely, letting our moods and the stunning weather dictate the direction of the production and songwriting. All four of us connected on some shared experiences of silly, almost risky attraction - where you're so enamoured with another person that you'll do anything to gain their favour, even if they're not super into you! The pulsing synths got us thinking of old 80s exercise videos, so there's some cheeky references to that in the lyrics - and you can really hear the sunshine and infectious energy that was bubbling away in the room that day."  FOLEY

 Set to be followed by a full-length record titled That's Life, Baby!  in February next year, 'Heartstrings' marks the next step towards a new era that will be brought in by the band's second studio album.
