Gena Rose Bruce returns with whirling new single ‘Foolishly In Love’, accompanied by an equally hazy film clip which see’s Bruce reflect while standing on vast seaside cliffs alongside some fluorescent-ly decorated drums. Watch below!
During Melbourne’s extended lockdowns, Bruce began turning inward and shutting down around friends and family. Her close relationships felt laboured and social interaction responses insincere. She even began questioning her commitment to her partner. These anxieties bubbled over into fantasies about the thrill of new romance with unflinching honesty on the dance-floor ready track.
Throughout the same shutdown, Bruce corresponded with the iconic songwriter Bill Callahan, their connection resulting in the co-writing of ‘Foolishly In Love’. “Working with Bill was very poetic and brought a feeling of nostalgia. We have only ever had written correspondence, sending lyrics back and forth to each other, with sometimes weeks in between responses, just analysing lyrics, there was no small talk, just keeping it about what’s important – the music.”
