Watch the premiere of Without You, the new single from Chloe Foy. The video, which was directed by Will Thomas, is refreshingly inventive, creating windows into other scenes, almost like Lewis Caroll’s ‘Through the Looking-Glass’. It accentuates the feeling of looking through someone’s memories, or in this instance possibly escape from control…
“In the video for Without You I had the opportunity to work with my super talented friend Will Thomas and head back to where I grew up in Gloucestershire to film. I wasn’t sure how to portray the subject of the song as it’s very personal but Will has achieved a sense and feeling of nostalgia and something that is up for interpretation, which I think is the way it should be.”
Chloe Foy writes a brand of melodic, homegrown music, bursting with colourful, lyrical and textural inflections evocative of much of the music she loves. Taking inspiration from classical music as much as wider transatlantic trends in folk and indie, Chloe’s songs comprise of carefully constructed arrangements that delicately compliment her cryptic lyrics.
Having performed at SXSW, Chloe has captured the attention of rapidly growing UK and US audiences. With the release of her singles ‘Asylum’, ‘Flaws’, and ‘In The Middle Of The Night’, she has accumulated over 9 million plays on Spotify, as well as earning the praise and airtime of the likes of NPR Radio’s Bob Boilen and the BBC’s Steve Lamacq. She has just been named a 2019 BBC Introducing “One To Watch” by Radio 3’s Late Junction. She spent summer 2018 touring in support of the mercurially talented Jesca Hoop (as well as singing backing vocals in Jesca’s band), before embarking on her first ever UK headline tour in the Autumn.
With her strikingly beautiful voice and emotionally direct songwriting, Chloe looks set to have an exciting 2019, with a debut album in the pipeline, a headline spring tour and a string of major festival appearances, including Green Man, already confirmed.
