Fya Fox has released her impassioned new pop single ‘Oversized Denim Jacket’.
The Whelan’s Ones To Watch alumna and VIP Magazine ‘Rising Star’ enjoyed a welcome return to the music industry in January with heartfelt single ‘Sweet Goodbye’ earning RTÉ 2FM Track of the Week and support from Hot Press, BBC Radio Ulster, VOID Magazine, Red FM and more. The birth of her daughter and an unfortunate motor accident contributed to a break from releasing music, but the artist continues her fresh chapter in 2026 with second single ‘Oversized Denim Jacket’.
Whilst ‘Sweet Goodbye’ (watch live video here) was a poignant tribute to lost loved ones, reflecting on grief, remembrance, and the bittersweet space between holding on and moving forward, ‘Oversized Denim Jacket’ shifts focus to the warmth and comfort found in relationships.
Fya says, “I was inspired by that feeling of coming home and putting on your partner’s jumper, or in this case, their oversized denim jacket and feeling a sense of calm, like a big hug with a familiar scent.”
After a whirlwind few years since becoming a mother, she explains how capturing this sense of peace became a way of “finding my balance and keeping it together, one step at a time.”
She continues, “I felt like I was trying to be in 100 different places all at the same time, adjusting to a new norm whilst trying to stay true to myself. I think this single captures that growth journey – the overwhelm, the reward and everything in between.”
An artist that has always thrived at the intersection of heart and sound, ‘Oversized Denim Jacket’, sees Fya Fox channel folk intimacy into an indie-pop sound, carved with longtime collaborator Matthew Weir.
Known for her earnest songwriting and powerful, soulful-tinted vocals, the release spotlights Fox’s talent for blending vulnerability with melodic sophistication, positioning her as a truly distinctive voice in Ireland’s pop music scene.
