London-based rock artist Foxpalmer, known for her captivating blend of rock, indie, and Americana folk, returns with her latest single, That Way, released on November 8, 2024. Following the success of her previous singles, Forever and Wanted, this track showcases Foxpalmer’s ability to channel deeply personal emotions into music that feels universally relatable. With its raw vulnerability and intricate acoustic guitar work, That Way is an evocative exploration of unreciprocated love and the emotional labyrinth it creates.
Drawing from a profoundly personal experience, Foxpalmer paints a vivid portrait of longing and unfulfilled desire. As she candidly shares, “I wrote this song about someone I had deep feelings for, yet I never expressed them. They became almost like a fantasy, an obsession. Although it wasn’t real, those feelings were overwhelming and powerful.” The result is a track that balances the tenderness of yearning with the sharp pangs of disappointment, crafting a soundscape as haunting as it is beautiful.
Produced by Greg Chandler at The Priory Recording Studios, That Way is both an intimate confession and a cathartic release. The song’s heartfelt lyrics and stirring melody reflect Foxpalmer’s internal conflict, as she grapples with feelings of resentment and self-reflection. “I realised that my resentment wasn’t fair to them—they didn’t do anything wrong. This song became a way to process and release those conflicted emotions,” she explains.
That Way is not just another single; it’s a cornerstone of Foxpalmer’s evolving artistry and a precursor to her highly anticipated album, Dark Tides, set to release in 2025. The track captures the depth and introspection fans have come to expect from her music, while opening a window into her most vulnerable and authentic self yet.
Foxpalmer’s live performances have earned her a devoted following and critical acclaim across the UK. From supporting The Bluetones’ Mark Morris and chart-topping indie rock band Dodgy to her standout performance at the Cambridge Rock Festival 2024, she has proven herself a commanding presence on stage. She has also been a familiar face at major festivals like Glasgow’s Celtic Connections and the Godiva Festival. Critics have praised her artistry, with The Voice Magazine likening her to Fleetwood Mac and Fireworks Magazine highlighting her “haunting vocals and catchy guitar lines.”
Currently on a fourteen-date UK tour to promote That Way and her forthcoming album, Foxpalmer is bringing her poignant music to audiences nationwide. The tour, which culminates at The Water Rats in London this December, promises to showcase the depth and emotive power of her work, leaving fans with an unforgettable experience.
With That Way, Foxpalmer delivers a deeply introspective and achingly beautiful piece that resonates long after the music stops. It’s not just a song—it’s a heartfelt journey through the complexities of love, loss, and self-discovery, solidifying her place as a unique and vital voice in the modern rock landscape.
