This type of “Cooties” is contagious; the new track from Maggie Foley is wholly replay-inducing and infectious. Dreamy guitars quickly excel into a bass-heavy bounce alongside charismatic vocals. The rousing chorus touts ample anthemic appeal, especially upon the title-referencing send-off. A slight, dreamy tonal shift in the concluding minutes provides a satiating closure, followed a convincing meshing of dreamy pop and anthemic rock throughout.. Maggie Foley’s “Cooties” showcases consuming songwriting and ardently melodic production.
“I have truly terrible taste in men. I have loved some really terrible men. It feels kind of icky,” Foley says. “The older I get the more I realize ‘cooties’ are a very real thing. I try not to invalidate the feelings I had after knowing the results, so all you can do is make fun of it.”
