In her newest profoundly personal opus “That Way” Foxpalmer has created an exquisitely realistic submarine for the soul into the existential sludge of unrequited love. This haunting new folk/rock number will send shivers down the spine of anyone who has ever burned with unrequited passion and the song wastes no time in laying out the messy load of insecurity, bitterness, and existential crisis on display. As Foxpalmer explains, the track was born from an all-consuming infatuation that morphed into an obsessive fantasy realm of unrequited yearning.
Though being more electric than the sinking feeling expressed in certain Anglicized compositions, the London based singer-songwriter doesn’t give in to melodrama of pity-party that follows a broken affair, instead keeping things as wittily complicated as poets choose to make relationships. Her acoustic fretwork weaves together a compelling yet low-profile experience over which she articulates her inner turmoil with a considerable deal of both clarity and pragmatic insight.There is some sort of release in listening to Foxpalmer finally voice out her resentment that has been directed towards someone who do not deserve it because she realized that it is not healthy to feel this way.
To old school fans, “That Way” will be a deep drop in line with the fly lyrics and heavy emotions that listeners have grown used to with Foxpalmer. Subtlety weaving folk’s close personal connection with the crowd with alt-rock’s primal muscularity here infinitely continues to be as powerful as the day they were bottled. Playfully, Foxpalmer takes us on a deep sea dive into the filmic archive of unrequited desire forcing us to recall that our most lofty forms of art are forged from that which burdens our souls most severely. And just as certainly, it is beautifully honest account of a human experience, of change and of a form of redemption in poetry.
