Ireland’s FYA FOX is returning with her fiery floor-filling new single ’Need It’ tomorrow, and we are premiering it today below. A sleek soulful precise pop cut that sees FYA FOX emoting above a hip-shaking beat and wobbly bassline detail the singer’s escape from a venomous relationship and into a life of liberty and independence.
FYA FOX on the track: “Need It is infectious! On the way home from the studio I’ve been pumping this track through the speakers thinking, ‘I want people to hear this’. Have you ever been totally consumed after a literal 1-second distraction? Mute that notification, they aren’t worth it!”
With the lyrics, she challenges her lover to admit their toxic wrongdoings, before ultimately realising she’s better flying solo. “Your voice, I don’t wanna hear it/Your touch, I don’t wanna feel it,” before launching into an illuminating chorus. It’s an impressively hooky and self-confident record, from an exciting emerging artist.
FOX is a new voice in the alt/pop world, a classically trained vocalist straying beyond Ireland’s traditional country/folk scene, FYA’s influences span from Banks, Lana Del Rey and London Grammar.
Returning from a slight breather after the recent and pulsating release ‘Sunset’, FOX’s new track, ‘Need It’ is another step up.
