Foxes pulls off an astonishing Live Lounge

Some performances just stop you dead in your tracks - and this is one of them.

Pop newcomer Foxes was in Radio 1's Live Lounge today and sang a version of Pharrell's Happy mixed up with the piano-drenched melancholoy of Massive Attack's Teardrop. It shouldn't have worked, but it really, really did.

It was so good that it made me agree with Fearne Cotton, who called the performance "sumptuous and delicious".

Foxes - Happy


Foxes also played her current top 10 smasheroo Let Go For Tonight, singing it so heartily you could see her actual tonsils. That's not on YouTube yet, so here's an acoustic version from something called "Vevo Lift" instead.
