The West Londoner Finn Foxell, long acknowledged for his cerebral lyricism and earthy rap delivery, released “EASIER” just in time to fit this title. The latest tease for his forthcoming debut album, “MAMAS BOY,” is to be released by April 25. This new single rides that line between grit and grace, and it’s Foxell at his most raw and resonant.
“EASIER” starts with an edge that leans into the rock and alt forces that Finn grew up in. The guitar work hums beneath the surface and roars. Coupled with big drums and outsized textures, the production has purposeful tension. Finn’s flow is clean, smooth, and assured. He maneuvers the storm he’s whipped up with the poise of someone who’s been through this before, blending biting bars with introspective undertones.
“EASIER” displays an absolute, lived-in defiance. You can hear the emotional weight in Foxell’s voice, the swing of openness and strength. It’s as much about growing pains as it is about taking ownership of your journey, however messy and loud that journey becomes. Finn Foxell has always had range, but “EASIER” shows he won’t shy away from evolution in public, stretching sound and feeling until they look like his truth. What “MAMAS BOY” could deliver is a striking taste.
With “EASIER,” Foxell commands understanding, serving up a track that wrecks expectations and lodges itself in the center of the chest. It’s more than just a genre experiment. It’s a war cry, a confessional, and a gut punch rolled into one.
