Today, New Zealand’s gritty, dance-able and fearless acclaimed pop duo Foley drop their passionate new single and video “Killing Me Babe” and sign to Nettwerk Music Group.
In their very short career thus far, Foley have been nominated for multiple awards including ‘Best Pop Act’ and ‘Breakthrough Artist of The Year’ at 2021 Aotearoa Music Awards, as well as an APRA Silver Scroll nomination. Their debut EP hit top 10 on the NZ Album charts and their previous single ‘Midnight’ became the no 1 independent song on NZ Radio on both the overall chart and the Pop Top 40. The duo have also graced the main stage at New Zealand’s largest festival Rhythm & Vines, and have supported Six60’s stadium shows in both 2020 and 2021, where the group shared the stage with Still Woozy, Tove Lo, Two Door Cinema Club, and more. They now have over 8 million streams worldwide.
Foley describes the new single, “As much as it’s a beautiful feeling to be loved, in a way it’s also really foreign and uncomfortable to be praised and complimented all the time. ‘Killing Me admits that we sometimes crave a love that plays hard to get even if that’s not the most healthy thing.” They continue, “I should be thankful 100% of the time that I have someone in my life who hypes me up, but humans are self sabotaging and bloody complicated!”

Foley joins Nettwerk’s expanding roster, which also includes Jaguar Jonze, Mallrat, Alex The Astronaut, Last Dinosaurs, Neil Frances and many others.
