All I Need is the second studio album by English singer-songwriter Foxes, released on 5 February 2016. The album represents a more stripped-back and emotionally direct approach compared to her debut, Glorious, with Foxes intentionally opting for a more stripped-back and introspective sound. Rather than constructing a concept album, Foxes aimed to write from a personal, diary-like perspective, drawing heavily from emotional experiences and relationships. She described the record as less produced and more vocally driven, incorporating elements such as piano and strings to preserve its cinematic quality while embracing greater honesty and vulnerability in the lyrics.
The album's rollout began with the release of "Body Talk" as the lead single in July 2015, followed by "Better Love"—a collaboration with Bastille's Dan Smith—in September, and "Amazing" in December. These singles reflect the album's blend of heartfelt lyricism and accessible pop structures.
Critically, All I Need was met with generally favorable reviews. The album holds a score of 67 on Metacritic, based on nine reviews. While some reviewers praised its emotional sincerity, polished production, and strong vocal performances, others noted a loss of distinctive identity in favor of a more generic pop template. Overall, the album was seen as a step forward in her artistic development, balancing introspection with accessible pop songwriting.
