Chloe Foy
Complete
Fool
I was lucky
enough to watch Chloe Foy as a support act for Conchur White at Old St. Pancras
Church back in 2023. Her songwriting and performance were utterly sublime.
I discovered
she was doing a tour of record stores and mooched over to Oxford to catch her
promoting her new album. She showcased the majority of her album in a pared
down but completely flawless and emotional performance. Even though I had heard
her sing this live it didn’t prepare me for the elegance and beauty of this new
album.
Chloe Foy
mingles genres from the beautifully layered vocals and strings that seem to
hark back to the heady days of Hoffman, Livingston and David alongside the Jud
Conlon Chorus (from Disney’s Cinderella) before breaking into the sweet
simplicity of the title track. This journey through musical styles is a sweet
and heady confection that layers harmonies, orchestra and chorus. The album
takes pleasant and surprising twists throughout. Each song soars but in
different and unexpected ways. There are hints of country, of Nick Drake pastoralism,
alt folk, pop, rock and so much more to be found here.
This album
is an absolute joy from start to finish.
