It’s been more than a year since we heard from foxgluvv. Based in Brighton, UK, the forward-thinking, non-binary and Queer creative returns today with a glorious and euphoric slice of alt-pop, a fierce and dance-inducing anthem with a truly futuristic outlook. Aptly titled ‘i need to understand but i don’t’, the song helps foxgluvv navigate the uncertainty of daily life and self-discovery, a theme that will certainly connect with a wide audience – especially in today’s tumultuous and transitional reality.
From a sonic standpoint, ‘i need to understand but i don’t’ is iconic and hypnotising. Balanced between alt-pop, disco and electrofunk energy, the record is as eclectic as it could, putting foxgluvv’s lush vocals at the forefront. Here’s how Mesmerized sees it: a colourful, punchy tune with a mainstream livery and an introspective soul. It perfectly fits an industry where retro influences are dominating, at least for now.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, foxgluvv explains: “I want people to listen to this song and realise it’s okay not to have all the answers – not knowing where you’re going in life, not fully understanding your sexuality or gender identity, or not feeling at home yet. This song leans into that narrative.”
