Chloe Foy is back, and this time, she's delivered a quietly mesmerizing song that feels like a personal secret whispered amongst friends. Her new single, "Elephant In The Room," hits every sweet spot on an acoustic, folk-pop jam that twinkles beautifully from a soft, gentle strum to a chorus that you won't be able to shake after it ends.
Gifted with a poetic lyricism and sincere delivery, Foy doesn't disappoint here. The song is heavy with its emotional walls and secret tensions, some of her signature traits in terms of depth, but it has a playfulness and groove that feel refreshingly light. It's been a while since we've heard from Chloe Foy; we first caught wind of her in 2018 with "Are We There Yet," and last heard from her in 2021. Now, with "Elephant In The Room" leading the charge, excitement is gathering for her debut record, "Complete Fool," out on Kartel Music Group.
"Elephant In The Room," as described by Ramiah, was a last-minute thing. The producer and arranger, Harry Fausing Smith, began to play some chords, and Foy improvised the lyrics. What we end up with is a song that feels light and genuine, with a "you are" refrain that she describes as her form of a "slow summer bop." And honestly, it's that mellow yet earworm vibe that makes this song something of a quietly infectious listen. If you're pining for folk music that's heavy on emotion but light on its feet, Chloe Foy's new one's a must-hear. Please take a listen and let its easygoing groove carry you away.
