End of last year when Foxes made a brief visit to Australia on a promotional tour, we literally got five minutes with the UK singer for a (very) quick natter...
Foxes certainly has stepped out from being just a collaborator after releasing her SIXTH single Let Go Of Tonight this week from her much anticipated debut album Glorious due out in March. We were lucky enough to have a quick fire Q&A with the singer where we find out she is just a silly as we are..!

There is an element of Florence + The Machine to your style, is this a coincidence or is Flo one of your inspirations?
I think we may have had similar influences if anything

Yes there are some elements of dance music in there, however the album overall is a bit more organic
