    This might be a transient flash in the pan for some, but it’ll find a special, permanent home in the hearts of others.

    Dark and light, sweet yet savvy, layered but not overproduced--Foxes has created a work that embodies all these dichotomies and walks the line between them perfectly.

    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.

    Though the album is formulaic and polished, there is enough crackle in its dark, lustrous soundscapes and tales of nocturnal romance to intrigue.

    While the lyrics are too cloying and cliched to mean much, in conjunction with such a button-pushing soundtrack, they still carry the capacity to move.

    It adds up to a shallowly appealing, summery package; glossily produced and personality free.

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

    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 albumAn 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 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

Songwriting tregonNjë rekord të mahnitshme elektronik pop tregon Allen ka potencialin të jetë një qëndrim të vetëm artist për shumë vite . Songwriting tregon një të butë të vogël që tregon Allen mund të ketë nevojë për më shumë ndihmë . Nga ana tjetër , prodhimi i kalon si një rekord interesante me momentet e veta .
