    A great pop album with a dark tone and Foxes' incredible vocals. Favourites include Youth, Holding onto Heaven, Count The Saints, Let Go For Tonight, Home and Glorious.

    How the hell is this boring Q Magazine? This album is melodrama perfection. Other than 2 mediocre tracks, this album is awesome. Foxes hits the sweet spot so many times here. Her voice is simply incredible in the way it is able to convey so much emotion.

    Favs: Youth, Count the Saints, Let Go for Tonight, Holding onto Heaven, Night Owls Early Birds
    Least Favs: Shaking Heads, White Coats

    Amazing debut album. Foxes shows here a very disdtinguished lyrics still with a pop catchy vibe to it. And the production was very well done, since even though it was released in the same year as another alternative releases it sounds freshy and "new" in some sense.

    I heard 'Youth' and I wasn't so sure about her as an artist. But then she released 'Let Go For Tonight' and 'Holding Onto Heaven' and I was sold. The album is amazing! I love her style of Pop music and I can't wait for her future releases.

    Key tracks for me are Talking To Ghosts, Night Owls Early Birds, Glorious and Beauty Queen

    Foxes é maravilhosa. Eu amo tudo o que ela faz, tudo bem feito, impecável. Coisa de artista de verdade, é uma pena ver que não tem o reconhecimento merecido.

    Foxes sounds like a cross between Ellie Goulding and Florence + the Machine. This music is dark, lush, and cinematic, with lots of percussion and pretty sick beats. Overall, Glorious is a pretty consistent album. I would say there are probably 6 really good songs, and the rest are at least decent. My absolute favorites though would have to be Talking to Ghosts, White Coats, and Let Go ForFoxes sounds like a cross between Ellie Goulding and Florence + the Machine.

This is a pretty strong debut, although I feel like Foxes has the potential for even better stuff.… Expand

    With several great standouts and some regular tracks, at the end this album works really well as a whole, although there are not epic peaks at any time. A fresh and solid debut that stands for humanity and the very possible ups and downs that -as well as it- life itself can have.

    A great album with great musics, and fantastic compositions. She is an artist that will amaze everyone, at least I hope so. Waiting for the next album.

    An incredible debut album, by pop star Foxes. Foxes is best known for her song with Zedd - Clarity. This album is one of the stand out album of the 2014 year. The album has some great tracks such as Youth, Holding On To Heaven, Glorious, and In Her Arms. Every track on this album has a great beat to it, even the ones such as Clarity. The producers did a great job with every track.

The producers did a great job with every track.

    The songs are written with pretty deep and catchy lyrics like "She wants to hold you in her arms "She wants to tear you away from my heart." This is one of my favorite track and song on the album. Not only do it sounds good but I like the all the lyrics to it. I found myself singing the lyrics to the song randomly a few times.

    Another song with great lyrics is Let Go For Tonight - Let go for tonight baby "Let love in your life and be shown (turn off the lights) Let go for tonight baby, who needs sleep tonight? I need to let go, let go" another catchy song with lyrics that have me singing along.

    Even though this album is great, I did wanted more from Foxes. I prefer Clarity with Zedd instead of the one the album has. Other songs that I did not like as much was "Night Glo," and "Shaking Heads." The songs doesn't fit the album , and should've been more upbeat but still it sounds great.

    With tracks that sounds great and songs with good song lyrics, this is the album to get. An overall great pop album.    … Expand

    With Glorious Foxes has made a pop album that, despite occasionally drifting into melodrama, serves as an enjoyable listen stuffed with genuine pop-gems, sun-baked choruses and enough bite to warrant repeated listens.

    The charitable thing would be to blame record label micromanaging because surely nobody would choose to be this unoriginal. [Jun 2014, p.111]

    The formula wears pretty thin towards the end--bee-stung emoting in the verses, splashy catharsis in the chorus--but Glorious is no failure.
