Foster – “fools (can’t help falling in love)” single featuring Sody
‘fools (can’t help falling in love)’ is a song filled with mixed emotions, lovelorn yearning, self-doubt, and joy. The gloomy tune contains a relationship-based narrative, conversational raps, and tuneful melodies that are sure to pull on your heartstring. Also, the song possesses melodic hip-hop instrumentation flavored with a classic emo-rap aroma.
Furthermore, “fools…” takes the timeless Elvis’s staple and transforms it into an even more easy-to-love anthem. Also, Foster’s rework streamlines the original track’s core message from back in 1961 into one of unrequited love for the emos of 2020.

“There was something about the night I first started writing ‘fools (can’t help falling in love)’. I was alone in my car parked in the rain listening to the beat (produced by Sarcastic Sounds), when the lyrics in the sample just struck a chord with me. I had heard the song [Can’t Help Falling in Love] a million times before. But, in this moment, it felt different. Also, it sparked a lot of emotion and inspiration for me. And I started thinking about how often I ‘rush in’ like a fool and end up falling into a one sided love-story with girls who are way out of my league. That’s something I deal with on a regular basis and it comes with a lot of emotional consequences. So I really wanted to capture exactly that. And try to add a new element to the original song that people like me could relate to on a deeper level.” – Foster explained

“The original has a special place in my heart. So when I heard Foster’s version in lockdown, I was immediately drawn to it. It was a pleasure to sing on it and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it!” – Sody stated
Foster describes himself as a “sad song machine.” He was extremely excited when he found out about Sody. She instantly fell in love with Foster’s version of a song she already loved.
