Foxing share title track from new album 'Nearer My God'

Foxing have shared the title track from their new album ‘Nearer To God’. Five different versions of the track have been released in different languages - English (below), French, German, Spanish and Japanese.

It’s taken from the band’s upcoming album of the same name, which is due for release 10th August.

Vocalist Conor Murphy explained the reasoning behind releasing the track in five languages in a press release, saying: “The language idea started as a ‘wouldn’t it be cool’ thing that just kept going. The whole point was to put in a fraction of the effort that most international artists put it. The goal was to show respect and appreciation. Each step was difficult because we wanted to get it as right as possible and my only knowledge outside of English is some high school French. Each of the four foreign languages had its own set of difficulties but, after working with 70ish translators and friends for a few months, we’ve got one song in five tongues.”
