Welsh singer-songwriter Foxxglove is giving us more mysterious vibes with her latest single, ‘Bad Timing‘.
Appearing on the music scene last year with her debut single, ‘City‘, Foxxglove has delivered a theme inside her music of dark, intensity and mystifying elements, creating a music persona different from mainstream music today.
Releasing her recent single on the 14th of May called ‘Bad Timing‘, the Ferndale singer delves into a deep, personal experience, describing a heart-wrenching relationship where her significant other brought her a painful heartbreak.
“This song is about a specific relationship, where the person broke my heart in an emotionally manipulative and frustrating manner. He fought for my attention at the start, led me on and ended up gaslighting me. The most important part of a song for me is the lyrics, that’s how I write my music at the moment and I hope people can be empathetic to the emotional weight they carry. This song represents closure to me and I hope others can find solace within the song; knowing they aren’t alone in their feelings.”

While the song provides raw and powerful emotions of love, it also sounds meaningful through the creative music production by MINAS, where he adds in a sweet-sounding, stripped-back piano that presents Foxxglove’s inner feelings within the song.
Furthermore, the single represents feelings of sorrow, pain and heartbreak through the use of its music video. Shot in a day near her hometown of Ferndale, Wales at Saint Gwynno Forestry with Jordan Sheehy Videography, it pays homage to the local tale of the ‘Lady of the Lake’ and the emotional rawness of the song. The home of the enchantress Nelferch, who married a mortal man. When he broke a vow not to ask her about her past, she left him penniless and aged far more than the years of their marriage. Her spirit haunts the lake to this day, palpable in the gloom, where steep cliffs shut out the sun from the shore.
Foxxglove is a rising artist who is unique and sticks to her image, she shapes her truth and honesty throughout her songs.
