The London-based trio Foley Street are back, and they’re bringing something special with them. Led by the magnetic, Frankfurt-born singer and actor Clarissa, the band will release their new single “Angels” on August 9—and it’s a track that feels as emotional as it is infectious.
At its core, “Angels” is a bright, modern take on 80s New York electro-pop, blended effortlessly with UK indie energy. It’s upbeat, nostalgic, and made for late-night movement—music that doesn’t just play in the background, but pulls you onto the dancefloor.
What makes the song even more compelling is the story behind it.
The True Story Behind “Angels”
According to Clarissa, “Angels” was written in a single recording session, sparked by a day that felt straight out of a movie. It began with a near car accident on a quiet country road—one of those moments that instantly shifts your perspective. Hours later, the same day ended in a crowded club, dancing, laughing, slightly drunk, and unexpectedly finding love.
That emotional whiplash—fear turning into joy—became the fuel for the song.
Was it coincidence? Fate? Or simply heightened emotions pulling the right person into the right place at the right time? Clarissa leaves the answer open, but the feeling is clear. In just one day, everything changed. That sense of sudden transformation pulses through every beat of the track.
“It felt like a miracle,” she suggests. And maybe that’s why the song is called “Angels.”
Why “Angels” Stands Out
What sets Foley Street apart is their ability to turn real-life chaos into something joyful and danceable. “Angels” doesn’t overthink emotion—it celebrates it. The result is a song that feels both deeply personal and instantly relatable.
If you love electro-pop with heart, indie music with a retro edge, or tracks that make you want to move and feel something at the same time, this one’s for you.
