Maybe @iamfoxes is onto something, maybe her timing is perfect. Maybe ‘The Kick’ is that universal sign we have been waiting for hinting at what’s just around the corner…? (Yes, please.) @iamfoxes’ highly awaited new album was written and recorded via zoom with producer @ghostculture (Daniel Avery, Kelly Lee Owens) during the height of the pandemic and must have served as a form of escapism. Inspired by the desire for freedom that the world collectively shared over the last 2 years, the near-animalistic desperation to socialize, and a longing to dance again, Louisa created a record that simultaneously feels close to the euphoric, dancefloor-filling pop roots while still feeling completely fresh. Unafraid of the art of the well-loved melancholic banger, lyrically The Kick touches on themes of loss and heartbreak, narrating painful places and soundtracking new beginnings to create an album for the post-pandemic world and a summer of never leaving the party early. Oh, we are in. Discover all about the brand new album and watch @iamfoxes’ latest video for ‘Growing On me’ - 🔗 in bio. #Foxes #MusicFirst #NewMusic #ReleaseRadar #IndependentMusic #IndependentArtist
