“a mere six songs in, she is shaping up to be something remarkable”
Sunday Times Culture

Foxes will release her stunning new single Echo on 11th November on 7-inch vinyl and digital download. The track will be her first for Sign Of The Times / Sony Music, following two critically acclaimed releases for pop tastemaker Neon Gold (home to early singles by Passion Pit, Marina and the Diamonds, Ellie Goulding and Gotye).

To mark the occasion Foxes will play a one-off show at London’s White Heat at Madame Jo Jo’s, alongside Faye and Syron, on Tuesday 23 October. Before then, she heads out on tour as special guest of Marina and the Diamonds for a number of her UK dates, and has been added to the bill for SWN Festival and Gathering. The full list of shows is:

08 October - Leicester, O2 Academy (w/ Marina and the Diamonds)
09 October - Wolverhampton, Wulfrun Hall (w/ Marina and the Diamonds)
11 October - London, Forum (w/ Marina and the Diamonds)
13 October - Bristol, O2 Academy (w/ Marina and the Diamonds)
14 October - Lincoln, Engine Shed (w/ Marina and the Diamonds)
15 October - Oxford, O2 Academy (w/ Marina and the Diamonds)
18 October - Cardiff, SWN Festival
20 October - Oxford, Gathering
23 October - London, White Heat at Madame Jo Jo’s (w/ Faye and Syron)

But how did we get here? Foxes – previously Louisa Rose Allen – followed her big sister from Southampton to London the day she turned 18. She tried her hand at studying music but dropped out when she realised it wasn’t the studying part that she enjoyed. Now 22, she burst into the blogosphere with her Neon Gold Records’ debut ‘Youth’ late last year, and it wasn’t long before the song’s resplendent synths, industrial percussion and by-turns-searing-and-soaring vocal were the talk of the town. She followed this with its eagerly awaited follow up, the Warrior EP, whose lead tracks ‘Warrior’ and ‘White Coats’ had tastemakers on both sides of the Atlantic hot under the collar. With tracks from those first two releases (and their resulting remixes) having so far garnered over 5 million YouTube views, 1 million Soundcloud plays and 22,000 Hypemachine ‘likes’ between them, it looks increasingly likely that she’s here to stay...
