Foley Reveal Final Teaser Ahead of New Album, with Sun-Soaked Single ‘Fever’
Pop duo Foley have entered the final countdown to their sophomore album That’s Life, Baby!, releasing the hot new single Fever; the final puzzle piece before the full record drops on February 28.

Packed with ear candy and pops of sonic colour, Fever leans into Foley’s signature sound of highly addictive bass lines paired with jolty and eclectic percussion tracks. Sassy lyrics complete the picture as the duo tell an all-too familiar tale of unrequited love; something Foley hints at being a theme of in the forthcoming album.
“Fever is the extension of That’s Life, Baby! in terms of unrequited love,” they expand. “In a way it’s the continuation of that story where a past love is lingering on and they can’t quite find closure. It was inspired by an experience where a friend’s ex kept showing up at every party, every cafe, and felt like they were almost around every corner!”
Made with the magic of Waiheke Island – the location that cooked up much of the album – Fever came to life with Foley’s Ash and Gabe being joined by Harry Charles and Josh Naley (Wells*) on songwriting and production. The track was then mixed by Hamish Patrick and mastered by Sam Moses.
“The production style and vocal layering is definitely very Foley,” say the duo. “The song is all born of the bass line and the groove which are always the staple of a Foley track.”
“This one was fueled by the sunshine, diet coke, a few beers and good chats with friends. It was honestly more wholesome than anything else!”
Today’s release is the sixth and final single to come from Foley ahead of the upcoming album, recently releasing Heartstrings, a track which saw them feature on Sniffers, Rolling Stone AU/NZ, The Hits and ZM. Other notable singles from the album include Time Of My Life, which proved to be a NZ chart success reaching #3 on the Hot 20 NZ Singles Chart and peaking at #6 on RadioScope’s Most Added Chart, and Low and High which garnered a huge 100k streams in just three days, as well as landing on Spotify playlists including Pop Sauce, Pop n’ Fresh, chill AF, Happy Pop Hits, New Music Friday’s AU/NZ, Denmark, Netherlands, and UK, New Pop Revolution and many more.
Having released their debut album Crowd Pleaser in 2023, which hit #2 on the Official Top 20 NZ Albums Chart, Foley also established a dynamic reputation as a live unit across Aotearoa prior to the release, touring consistently as headliners and support for artists including Remi Wolf, Tove Lo, Flight Facilities and BENEE.
2024 saw the duo become Aotearoa Music Award nominees (Best Pop Artist) and enjoy a sold-out five-date tour through Los Angeles and New York in April/May. They also found themselves on one of pop culture’s biggest radars when Killing Me Babe was featured on the recent season finale of The Kardashians.
Foley’s forthcoming full-length record That’s Life, Baby! marks the next step towards a new era. Get ready; it begins on February 28.
