Darcy Fox’s “Your Best” Is A Folk-Pop Breakup Track You Won’t Forget

Darcy Fox is an indie singer-songwriter whose music is raw, honest, and evocative. With her ability to pour her heart out over earworm melodies, Darcy dives deep into love, loss, and friendship. She has a knack for storytelling and a range that spans from fury-filled indie-rock to foot-tapping folk-pop. Influenced by country music legends such as Shania Twain and Miranda Lambert, Darcy’s debut single ‘I’m Here’, album ‘Unprotected Grounds’ and first two EPs ‘My Own Happy Ending’, and ‘Chapter One’ are heavily influenced by the genre. However, in her latest singles, ‘Ghost’, ‘I’m Doing Fine Now’ and ‘She’s in London Now’, Darcy has shifted her sound effortlessly into indie-pop, inspired by Taylor Swift, Maggie Rogers, and Phoebe Bridgers. Not only has Darcy transformed her sound, but she has also shifted her storytelling in her recent and upcoming work. Coming out as a lesbian in 2017, Darcy is passionate about authentic queer representation in media. Her latest songs explore the facets of living and loving as a queer person, using broad enough strokes for the wider LGBTQIA+ community to connect over shared experiences. One of her newest singles, ‘Your Best’, is a folk-pop break-up track about bittersweet acceptance. The simple production allows the raw, honest storytelling to shine, and the sucker-punch hook in the chorus against a bed of heart-pounding drums is a must-listen. Darcy’s tenacity and talent have garnered her a diverse and dedicated fanbase, and industry insiders have taken notice as well. She became a finalist in the 2013 Telstra Road to Discovery competition, won the Blues, Roots, and Beyond competition in 2015 at the Queenscliff Music Festival, and became the first soloist to win the Push Start battle of the band’s competition, competing against 350 Victorian bands. Hailing from Gippsland and now residing in Melbourne’s inner north, Darcy has been performing since the age of 15, but she’s just getting started. In 2021, during the midst of the global pandemic, her fans rallied behind her to crowdfund her sophomore album, which is due for release in early 2023. Darcy Fox is the lesbian, indie singer-songwriter you’ve been waiting for. Her music is uncompromising, vulnerable, and haunting, and her stories are authentic and relatable. If you haven’t already, it’s time to add her to your playlist.
