Foxes
Youth

Epic

WE SAY

A recent Compass special in the RotD magazine examined the solo careers of the featured artists on this year's big dance albums, and Foxes' story was hands down the most international. In addition to her success as vocalist on Rudimental's Right Here, her collaboration with Zedd - Clarity - reached the Billboard Top 10, and she also guested on Save Rock & Roll, the no. 1 album from Fall Out Boy, with whom she appeared at Reading and Leeds recently. First released by the reliably cool Neon Gold, Youth is Foxes' second single for Sony, following Echo, which earned her a place on iTunes' Ones To Watch for 2013 list. The video has attracted an impressive 800k views in three weeks, while Foxes can also be seen in the current TV ad for Debenhams. With an MTV Music Brand New playlist addition and support from Sara Cox under her belt, she heads out on her first UK tour in October.

London gig: XOYO, October 8
