Foxy Foxes

If you've turned on the radio in the past few months, there’s a good chance you've heard of Foxes. Under her omnivorous stage name, English singer Louisa Rose Allen soared into the international spotlight for her vocals on Zedd's smash hit "Clarity." You know the song: the booming electronic track that features Allen's lovelorn vocals over the heated chanting of an seemingly intense soccer match. It is a testament to Foxes' voice that her words are able to rise above the sonic bass and boom of the track.

On her own, Foxes has released a string of amazing singles on par with the best of Lorde,Florence & the Machine and Feist. Besides their amazing voices, Foxes shares many similarities with these other singers. Like Florence (of the Machine variety), Foxes' lyrics often drift into the realm of mysticism. In "Beauty Queen" Foxes muses, "There’s a house in the forest/Where her days are forgotten/By the lake, she dropped her dreams/Now they've sunk to the bottom." In Echo, "Running in a crypt of a thousand words/Hiding in the dark when violence starts."
