Foxes - Let Go For Tonight


Originally hotly-tipped for 2013, singer Louise Rose Allen (a.k.a Foxes) only recently hit the mainstream with the release of her single Youth used on the Debenhams autumn campaign, following her successful collaboration with producer Zedd on Clarity (released in 2012 but garnering much attention last year).

Things are picking up, however, after Holding Onto Heaven was released just before Christmas and now there's Let Go For Tonight.  Why the rush of tracks?  An album is on the way of course (finally)!

Let Go For Tonight is destined to be a massive pop hit.  The power pop production throws everything together, from a solid piano riff, hand-claps and dramatic strings, to a surging snare-heavy chorus and a dub-step inspired synthy break.  Holding it all together are Allen's vocals that just keep soaring throughout.

It's clear, then, that she's finally hitting her stride.  Debut album 'Glorious' is expected in early March - mark it in your diaries now.
