The second single from Foxes' second album is Better Love, released 25th September. It's not yet out but there's a live performance:



Sounds more like something from her debut than Body Talk, we'll see I guess but it sounds solid.

I'm more taken by how much shes improved as a live performer since I saw her on Marina's tour a few years back. But will wait for HQ version of this to pass judgement!

She was great at Hyde Park.

Body Talk was a great track! Intrigued by this!

It sounds more commercial than Body Talk, I give it that! Hopefully she can have a fourth top 20 in her belt (provided Radio 1 don't snub her from the A-List again )

It's coming out this Friday! (https://www.facebook.com/iamfoxes/videos/821559207942169/)

I don't quite know what they're hoping to achieve with an immediate release, she's one artist who certainly can't afford this strategy.

I'll wait until the song is out before I give it a listen but I'm hoping it's better than FDFMN which I wasn't a big fan of.

This is not going to work out well I know FDFMN managed to go to about #60 on iTunes just last week so hopefully Better Love will do slightly better.

See Foxes is just the type of artist who won't survive in on air sale

I love it It's definitely more commercial than Body Talk but it's gonna be screwed over so much by this OA/OS release

Posted by: mr_pmt 3rd September 2015, 03:59 PM

'Body Talk' was always gonna be impossible to top for me as it's in my top 5 of the year, but this is a strong anthemic track! It sounds like the sort of thing that could do well (but very doubtful it will now).

Posted by: J▲hq 3rd September 2015, 04:05 PM

'Body Talk' really grew on me in the end but this is sounding a lot more instant and catchy on first play.

Posted by: N💎lly. S 3rd September 2015, 06:03 PM

This is a jam *.* It sounds a little Bastille-ish in the chorus (which makes sense since she wrote it with Dan)

Posted by: Kuki Sanban 3rd September 2015, 06:10 PM

Absolutely flawless, I'm just really concerned this is going to do absolutely nothing on the charts due to being OA/OS :/

Posted by: Joe. 3rd September 2015, 07:41 PM

Great song. It's got nothing on 'Body Talk' for me, which is still flawless. I hope this does her well. I can see it struggling for the top 40

Posted by: Froot. 3rd September 2015, 07:44 PM

I really love the chorus on this.

Really liking it on the whole too, two excellent singles is making me excited for the album!

Posted by: N💎lly. S 3rd September 2015, 09:34 PM

Yass Froot *.*

As long as it does something for album pre-orders I'm not too bothered about where it lands. Can't do any worse than Lay Me Down

Posted by: Ryan. 3rd September 2015, 11:54 PM

This is sounding good on first listen, and while it won't help her (although judging by 'Body Talk' a held-back release would end up with a just as bad week or two top 75 and never seen again), it's great news she is doing On Air/On Sale as it does suggest that every artist (bar a few dance acts who have pre-orders lined up) is going to change to On Air/On Sale which is what the UK really need to get to grips with.

I have no clue whether I like this or not yet, hopefully it grows

Apparently they've pulled the plug on the album (though to be fair “Better Love” was a song title and little inspiration beyond that).

RIP Foxes. : (


“Body Talk” and “Youth” remain above average tunes however.

Posted by: Joecula 25th October 2015, 10:22 AM

Oh dear - Poor Foxes.

Do you have a source?

Posted by: Doctor Death 25th October 2015, 10:28 AM

Twitter hearsay so not confirmed, but it does sound fairly plausible after the last single failed to get beyond #90. The album remains on pre-order for February 2016 though so it could still happen.

Posted by: ♡ Heezus Froot ♡ 25th October 2015, 01:00 PM

That's awful news (if it's true), I hope she carries on independently, she's better off that way tbh.

Posted by: NellyEverySundae 25th October 2015, 01:54 PM

I seriously doubt that is true. If it is, it's a real shame but I haven't seen this being said anywhere yet and until it is confirmed I'm still thinking it's probably getting released.

Posted by: Dandyman*5 25th October 2015, 02:03 PM

I hope that's not true for her... in this day and age, surely a digital only release at least must be cost effective? Assuming all the tracks are already completed that is...

Posted by: FranCAMstein 25th October 2015, 11:34 PM

Better Love is still getting played on the radio and I think she is more of an album artist than a single one. I seriously hope this is not true as she is one of my absolute favs!
