Singer Louisa Allen is ready for a new beginning as Foxes

POP singers rarely lay their hearts out on a platter but that’s what Louisa Rose Allen has done with her second album. “It was my first real break up,” says the 26-year-old London resident, who records effervescent electro-pop as Foxes. “I was going through it while writing my second album. It sadly ended soon afterwards. I needed material — that is what was happening in my life.”

She would like to make it clear that All I Need, released on Friday, is not an archetypal ‘break-up’ LP. Those hankering for Adele-style heartache and yearning can move on. Rather, Allen has crafted a multi-faceted rumination on young romance, encompassing times both sad and happy.
