Foley Drop Tasty New Single, “Honey”

Eora/Sydney pop power-duo Foley keeps the vibes upbeat on their new single, “Honey.” It’s got a sweet title and sound, but this song actually explores the sour points in relationships when arguments go a little too far.

“Honey is about taking it too far and realising you might have pushed your luck – we all have moments in a relationship where you make your point a little TOO WELL and realise you played too rough,” Foley admitted. “In the right relationship those moments aren’t make or break; instead they are the times you see compassion and understanding in a partner who is willing to have your back and stick with you.”

It’s no surprise that this song sounds slick, because Foley worked on it with a world-class team. It was mixed by Pedro Calloni (Chappell Roan, ELIO, Alex Warren, Daniel Seavey, GAYLE) and mastered by Grammy-nominated audio engineer Nathan Dantzler (Sabrina Carpenter, sombr, Niall Horan, Jonas Brothers, Teddy Swims). Foley also cowrote “Honey” with Max Jacobs and Nico Scali of Loretta.

“We all clicked straight away and had so many laughs, it made for a really energetic session,” Foley said. “Those magic guitar chords that carry the song were brought to the session by Max and having a new guitarist in the room helped us to get into a different headspace. We wanted to write something with the acoustic guitar front and centre that could bring a bit of a bluesy tone – and the chorus really dabbles with that in the guitar and vocal stacks.”

Foley have recently been making waves with shows in Korea. Hopefully it won’t be too long before they announce some local gigs. Keep an eye on their socials to learn all about any upcoming dates as soon as they’re released!

Thorne Shows His Sexy Side With “Honey”

Guyanese-Australian act Thorne has just released his latest single “Honey,” and I know it’s exactly the vibe you need this Saturday. Whether you’ll be hitting the town later or staging a private dance party at home, this sexy celebration of queer love will get you grooving. No matter how you identify, this fierce, feel-good anthem slaps.

“I want people to feel unstoppable when they hear ‘Honey’ — like they’ve lived through the storm and come out hotter, louder, and impossible to ignore,” Thorne said.

Zoe Robinson directed the steamy video which features, according to the press release, “towel-draped teasing, honey-drizzled ice cream, flirty snapshots in bed with a boy, and a house party buzzing with fans, food, and chosen family.” Did it get a few degrees hotter in here or is it just me?

“We were originally meant to film at my dad’s place—until he read the script and said it was too sexy. So we rented an Airbnb, shot it all in a whirlwind night and day, and honestly, it turned out better,’ Thorne said. “The whole process brought me and my friends even closer—it’s silly, it’s steamy, and it’s exactly the delicious kind of queer joy ‘Honey’ is all about.”

Thorne will celebrate the release of “Honey” with a special show at Shotkickers in Naarm/Melbourne on June 21.

El Cosgrove Brings Us “Honey”

Regional Queensland act El Cosgrove has charmed with her sweet new single “Honey.” It’s a real ear-pleaser thanks to El’s distinctive vocals and the warm blend of acoustic guitars and banjos. El recorded the track in the mountains of Bangalow, a setting which no doubt helped ground the song with the comforting feeling of home.

El has played major events including the Tamworth Country Music Festival and Gympie Muster and supported exciting acts including Brad Cox, Luke O’Shea, Davidson Brothers, Seleen McAlister and Liam Brew. Hopefully it won’t be too long before we see her headlining her own shows around the country. Until then, put this one on repeat!
