Chloe Foy Releases Spanking New Album ‘Complete Fool’

There’s something about Chloe Foy voice. Maybe it’s the way the softness in her voice threads through one’s ears, or how her lyrics feel handwritten. It’s like an unsent letter found in someone else’s drawer. Her songs are intimate which is something I truly appreciate. There’s a warmth to her delivery that makes each track feel personal, like she’s letting you into her world.

Chloe reviled herself to the world with her 2021 debut album, ‘Where Shall We Begin’, a particularly personal album as it centred on the loss of her dad to suicide. From then on, the British singer-songwriter is steadily creeping up in a scene where loudness is often associated with being more impactful. But this isn’t the case with Chloe. Her ethereal voice captures the emotions you struggle to put into words. Who thought that listening to a whimsical and intimate song like ‘Drifting’ and ‘Blinker’ would supress my sadness as opposed to my typical routine of pouring a beat heavy song into my headphone. Chloe’s songs has got a looseness and groove to them which automatically made me inclined to listen to it on full volume drowning my sadness in the process.

Her songs are built on feeling and patience creating a deep connection with her fans.  Her lyrics speak to the complexity of the human experience — love, loss, and the subtle daily battles we all fight. With a voice that’s as delicate as it is powerful, she creates music that speaks to the heart, carrying listeners through moments of intimacy, wonder, and reflection. Her new single ‘Elephant In The Room’ beautifully does this. The song confronts the unspoken truth and the distance it creates. Chloe speaks on the single stating that “this one was a bit of last-minute fun”. Listening to the single I really do feel the cheerful tempo and catchy melody it has, showing that a song can hit deep but still be witty.

This is the theme around her upcoming album ‘Complete fool’ which came out on June 6th via Kartel Music Group. The album consists of 10 songs, and I am ready to add all the songs to my slow dancing in the rain playlist.

Chloe shares that ‘Complete fools’ was born out of the chaos of the pandemic and the end of a decade-long relationship. “At the time, I was holding on to the person I loved, hoping they’d help me through such an uncertain and difficult period. But, looking back, I realise it’s not just about clinging to someone else—it became a reflection of my own journey with love, loss, and finding my way through mental health struggles.” This is something a lot of use can relate to. Sometimes we can’t only rely on those around us when it comes to healing and dealing with difficult situations because people don’t always stay when the tough times approach.

After hearing Chloe’s breakdown of the new album, I am here for the return of emotionally intelligent music that isn’t afraid to ask the difficult questions. The answer lies in this beautiful, poignant, yet celebratory tribute to real life and real love. We all wonder what the cost of a long-term relationship is, Or even how we balance divergent ambitions and priorities. I don’t know about you, but I always worry about losing parts of myself in the process of falling in love. Maybe ‘Complete fools’ can help me figure out a way to balance being in love and being me.
