Foxes Is The Band Of the Day.
Louisa Rose Allen (born 29 April 1989), better known by her stage name
Foxes, is a British singer and songwriter originally from Southampton
and now based in London. She is best known for her featured vocals on
Zedd’s song “Clarity”, which peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot
100 and at number one of the US Hot Dance Club Songs, and “Let Go for
Tonight” which entered the UK Singles Chart at number seven on 8 March
2014. On 26 January 2014, she won her first Grammy Award, winning Best
Dance Recording at the 56th Grammy Awards for “Clarity”.
On her website, Allen explained the origin of her stage
name. Allen’s mother had described a “haunting and beautiful” dream in
which foxes ran down their street, howling. Allen, who had been
attempting to find a suitable stage name, settled on “Foxes”. She found
the name fitting because it reflected her music: she had titled her
first song “Like Foxes Do” and many of her subsequent songs were about
animals. She considered training to be a beauty therapist in her
hometown of Southampton but moved to London when she was 18, following
her sister and brother, and attended music college. She began doing gigs
as “Foxes” in London, UK in 2011.
Allen rose to fame when she was featured in Zedd’s “Clarity”. It charted
in numerous countries, including debuting within the top ten at eight
in Billboard Hot 100. The song reached Double Platinum in Australia,
Platinum in the U.S. and Canada, Gold in New Zealand.
She has released a single and an EP, Warrior, as ‘Foxes’, working with
Sam Dixon. Both tracks from debut single “Youth” were featured in Gossip
Girl. She also worked with Fall Out Boy on the song “Just One
Yesterday” and its music video. “Youth” (including remixes from Danny
Howard, Breakage, Le Youth, Nate Goldsmith and Maze & Masters) has
so far garnered millions combined SoundCloud and YouTube plays between
them. Another single, “Beauty Queen”, was released on 13 May 2013. She
was signed to RCA, who re-released her single “Youth” on 21 August
2013,with a remix EP being released on 27 October 2013. Foxes is working
on her debut album to be released at the beginning of 2014 by RCA. She
says the album has a “dark streak… as well as a pop element that runs
through it.” On 31 October, Foxes revealed the name of her debut album
to be Glorious. On 4 November, she unveiled the album cover along with
the tracklist through Instagram, including 11 tracks on the standard
version and 16 on the deluxe version. A brand new recorded version of
“Let Go for Tonight” was released on 23 February 2014, charting in the
UK at number seven and becoming her most successful single to date.
