Daily Record Interview.
She might not be a household name in America yet, but this 22-year-old british lady is already making a major splash overseas with her soulful brand of sweeping anthemic pop.
Laced with Florence + The Machine a like beats, lush melodies, and a soaring sing-along chorus - her brand new single “Hearts & Dagger” and her cherry collab with Owl City “Up All Night” - has already cemented its place on our summer soundtrack--and deserves a slot on yours, too.
“Hearts & Daggers” accompanying video is equally as gorgeous, with Louisa Rose Allen – also know as Foxes the grammy winner has already worked with the german DJ Zedd and the American multi-plaitnum hitmakers Fall Out Boy is dropping off emotional baggage in London, all the while decked out in a vintage floral jumpsuit.
While on the road promoting her American debut Glorious Days – and shooting episodes for the the popular South Korean hit series ofalmost the same name Glorious Day. How would you describe your style?
Usually I’ll just get up and totally mix-match my outfits, so I look a bit like I’m blind in the mornings, haha!
I grew up in that sort of carefree environment, and you can see it in my style. I love dresses,
I love pairing a vintage dress with boots or Converse, just because it's so easy to get up and wear it.
Did you always wanted to be a singer?
When I was in Southampton nobody really knew I could sing – well neither I actually because I don’t really thought that I was a good singer and I still don’t really think that I ‘m a decent one, I was quite a shy girl and today I still the same shy girl just a little bit older.
When my friends and I were 18, they were going to do a beauty course and I was just going to follow them because it was what they were doing.
I felt ridiculous for doing that but most of my friends said that was a ridiculous idea that I wanted to be a singer.
I felt a bit depressed because I didn’t really had so much support of my friends , and I felt bad for following and doing everything they were doing – I was such an idiot during that time,.
How was your reaction when you won an Grammy?
It was very unexpected.
I was convinced that I had zero chances to win a Grammy.
I was in a dinner with Sam Smith and Disclosure , then my management called me to say that I had won the prize for “Clarity” with Zedd. I was drinking beer and chewing gun in my mount when I went to pick up the Grammy
It was a bit insane like I couldn’t believe that I actually had won – I was completely unprepared for a speech it was like a dream that it came true.
Who is the one who supported you the most?
My mum – she was really the only one that supported me and the dream of me begin a singer, if it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t be where I am today.
Foxes “Hearts & Daggers and her collab with Owl City “Up All Night” are out on the stores now.
Azealia appreciates the praise
