Foci World

Foci World is an audiovisual project and accompanying album released by American electronic group the Foci Girls in early 2019. A slew of promotional singles from the album were released in quick succession, including “Foci Mind,” “Truth Tea,” and “All I Want For Christmas is Foci," which rapidly dominated the Billboard Hot 100. The album is said to be a return to the group’s experimental roots, influenced by trance music and spirituality, as well as by UK garage and house music.

The album arrived after a long hiatus and media blackout by the group, during which they refused to speak to members of the press. Fan behavior throughout this period only grew more intense, with people often gathering outside the members’ apartments to ask for autographs and pictures, or to simply pledge their lives to the Foci Girls.

The project is also said to address the group’s refusal of multiple multimillion dollar record deals with prominent recording labels. “The Foci Girls are completely independent. They don’t need a studio, a manager, a label. They can do it all,” said music and pop culture scholar Nikki Krebs-Minaj of the band, “from the rousing rise-and-grind anthem ‘Foci Goes to Work’ to the delectable dark pop funhouse mirror of ‘Me & Foci,’ the Foci Girls are serving up a smorgasbord of aural treats and confections, and we can’t get enough!”

Unexpectedly, "Foci Goes to Work," became a surprise Jersey club remix hit in early January 2019. Foci World introduced listeners to a universe entirely of the Foci Girls' creation, and provided a rare peek into the minds of these revered geniuses.

"Foci World changed everything. After years of mainstream domination and underground acclaim, some critics felt that the Foci Girl’s had nowhere left to go, no taboos left to break. They were wrong." - Nikki Krebs-Minaj.
